Ahead of the grand opening taking place Saturday, November 28th, Springboard Arts Chicago will be hosting a neighborhood sneak peek of their new 4,500-square-foot gallery for Wicker Park residents on November 27 from noon-4 pm, which will follow strict adherence to Chicago COVID-19 guidelines. The door-opening exhibition, “Illuminate,” intends to shine light on the power of art during challenging times. The exhibit will showcase the works of 15 of Springboard Arts’ extensive roster of artists, including mixed media artist Paul Branton, photographer Gail Mancuso, and sculptor Peter Zelle.
