VIRTUAL - The Sculpture of Camille Claudel
Chicagoans have a chance to experience Camille Claudel, until February 19, 2024 at the Art Institute. As a compliment to this major exhibition, art historian Jeff Mishur’s Zoom lecture will address the work of the French sculptor (1864 – 1943), who has at last emerged from the shadow of Auguste Rodin, her famous collaborator, mentor and romantic partner. Mishur will discuss a variety of Claudel’s work, including The Waltz and The Age of Maturity, as well as her contributions to large scale Rodin commissions such as The Burghers of Calais and The Gates of Hell.

By switching your heating, cooling, water heating, laundry, and cooking appliances to all-electric power sources, you can eliminate any carbon emissions from your home, save thousands of dollars a year in utility costs, and reduce demand for fossil fuel energy.

LIVE AT MISTER
KELLY’S
We enjoy Chicago for its
many and varied entertainment options, but those of us who didn’t experience
the city in the 50s, 60s and 70s missed an extraordinary club that broke gender
and racial barriers and helped launch the likes of Barbara Streisand, Richard
Pryor, Bob Newhart, Bette Midler and Steve Martin. Live At Mister Kelly’s documents the
history of the legendary Rush Street venue.
