SUMMARY:Genevieve Ramos: Crip Paint Power
DESCRIPTION:Curb Appeal Gallery is pleased to announce our second exhibition “Genevieve Ramos: Crip Paint Power”. This exhibition debuts new work created as part of Ramos’s Feminist Crip Paint Power\, a multi-year project exploring the love\, care\, and interdependency in disability communities through the lens of disability justice and feminism. Stemming from relationships with disabled BIPOC femmes and through a series of curated interviews and photoshoots in partnership with the photographer Colectivo Multipolar\, “Crip Paint Power” features four portraits of leaders in Chicago’s rich disability network\, including community organizers Candace Coleman and Michelle Garcia\, artist and educator Sandie (Chun-Shan) Yi\, and the artist activist Reveca Torres. The exhibition includes a documentary film and zine created in collaboration with the Disability Culture Activism Lab at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Following the close of “Crip Paint Power”\, the portraits of Coleman\, Garcia\, Torres\, and Yi will be on permanent display at the Disability Cultural Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago. \nCurb Appeal is an apartment gallery located in the Heart of Chicago\, run by Todd Garon and Sandy Guttman. As an organization\, we are interested in the intersection of art and accessibility. We draw inspiration from the neighborhood topology of our historic storefront space and its visibility to the community in which we are sited. Our large windows and sidewalk stoop encourage passersby to peer in as well as invite themselves into our live/workspace. Grounded in the idea of “home” with an ethic of accessibility\, Curb Appeal reimagines what both an apartment and a gallery can be. \nFor more information\, please contact info@curbappeal.gallery. \nCurb Appeal is wheelchair accessible. As part of the exhibition\, there is a documentary film that is open captioned. All the paintings include image descriptions\, made available through QR code. Additionally\, the zine that accompanies the work is available on the Curb Appeal website. Masks are required for entry and will be provided if needed. Please note\, Curb Appeal is an apartment gallery and doubles as a home to our gallery dog. \nhttps://www.curbappeal.gallery/

SUMMARY:A.B.L.E. presents A Midsummer Night's Dream at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, A.B.L.E. returns to the stage and our classical roots with a multimedia version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, updated for our social-media obsessed times. Our modern adaptation by A.B.L.E. teaching artist Emma MacLean focuses on the themes of connection and disconnection. The king and queen of the fairies are fighting\, the mechanicals are rehearsing a play but no one knows their lines\, and the Athenian teens keep changing their relationship status. Join ABLE’s ensembles – 34 actors with intellectual and developmental disabilities as we miss texts\, drop calls\, and wander love struck in the Athenian forest. \nThis multimedia production will weave Shakespeare’s words with original scenes\, monologues\, songs\, and dances devised by our ensembles\, as well as animated film sequences from VFX designer Brock Alter. The virtual ensemble will narrate the tale for us as the in-person ensembles take the stage Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. \nWith your ticket\, you have the option of participating in a 45 minute interactive workshop led by A.B.L.E.’s team of Creative Associates and Teaching Artists. Audiences can experience some of the games and activities A.B.L.E. used to bring their ideas to the stage\, get a touch tour of key costume pieces and props\, and try A.B.L.E.’s signature “dropping in” method. This exclusive opportunity is only available to 20 ticket holders each day – reserve your spot when booking your ticket. \nEvent Details:\nSaturday June 10th at 7pm (pre-show workshop & touch tour at 5:30pm) \nUpstairs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater\n800 East Grand Avenue\nChicago IL 60611 \nTickets: All tickets are Pay-what-you-can\, general admission\nOnline: ableensemble.com/events\nPhone: 312.595.5600\nIn person: at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater box office \nAccess: Performances will be open captioned and dual ASL interpreted. \nCOVID Policies: To ensure A.B.L.E.’s immunocompromised performers and community members feel safe and welcome\, all audience members must remain masked for the duration of their time in the theater complex. \nhttps://www.ableensemble.com/events
