Chicago Reader’s 40th Birthday
A Black, White (and Yellow) Ball
Wednesday, October 26, 8PM-11PM
We’re 40! With four decades of incomparable coverage of Chicago under our belt, we’ve got plenty of reasons to celebrate. Join us for an evening of food, drinks, dancing, and art at the Chicago Urban Art Society (CUAS) in the heart of Pilsen’s art district.
Your ticket includes entertainment by J2K (one half of Chicago-based dynamic DJ duo Flosstradamus), live chef stations & hors d’oeuvres from Star of Siam, cocktails courtesy of Death’s Door Spirits, and craft brews from Goose Island. And did you see that crazy cake on our cover? Thanks to Alliance Bakery, you’ll get a taste of that, as well as delectable truffles from Chicago chocolatier Katherine Anne Confections.
Sixty Inches from Center is collaborating with WBEZ for “What’s Your Art?”: Celebrating the Art Centers of Chicago as part of the Off Air Series to showcase unique art centers within our city. This showcase is our effort to bring attention to the art centers that are doing great things in our neighborhoods. We also want to provide these art centers with the chance to get out of their home space and come together at the Chicago Cultural Center in order to interact with new audiences and each other.
