September 17, 2010 - 8:00 am - 10:30 amAlliance Fall Membership Meeting
Institute of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture
3015 W Division |
| The Alliance is hosting its Fall Membership Meeting on September 17th at the Institute of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture from 8:30 - 10:30 AM.
The Fall Membership Meeting replaces what was formerly one of our "Quarterly Meetings." All Core Members, Partner Institutions, and Associate Members are asked to send at least one representative to this meeting. We encourage you, of course, to send even more!
We will be discussing program developments from the summer, program plans for the fall and winter, pending funding, and include a new agenda item based on the topics that you decide are important. (We will send information about this along with a full agenda next week!)
These meetings are important because it allows us not only to build stronger connections within our community, but also because there are only 4 times a year that the Alliance convenes as a whole to assess and to address community concerns.
WHEN: Friday, September 17th
TIME: 8:30-10:30
Doors open at 8:15
Meeting begins promptly at 8:30 AM
WHERE: Institute of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (IPRAC)
Parking: Free parking is available in a lot next to the building
A continental breakfast will be served.

“Art Exhibition by Bohdan Borzemsky” opens Fri, Sept 3, at 7pm at the Ukrainian National Museum and continues through Sept 26, 2010.
“Art is a divine gift to humanity for fostering spiritual balance, clarity and brotherhood” – Bohdan Borzemsky.
The Ukrainian National Museum is pleased to present “Art Exhibition by Bohdan Borzemsky”. Mr. Borzemsky is a graphic artist and a master in the technique of woodcuts. Recently, he invented his own individual technique that he calls paper cuts, substituting heavy paper for wood. The artist also utilizes watercolors and tempera in his woodcuts. Mr. Borzemsky's source of inspiration is his childhood fascination with the Hutsul region of Ukraine and its inhabitants, whose folk art had a decisive influence on his art. Bohdan Borzhemsky first studied art at the Lviv National Institute of Art in Ukraine. He studied oil painting, drawing and graphic design at The Cooper Union Art School in New York. Mr. Borzemsky has won two Cooper Union Alumni Association Awards for the highest achievement in graphic art. He has also been recognized by the Library of Congress. Mr. Borzemsky’s works are found in many private collections throughout the world.
The Ukrainian National Museum is located in the heart of the Ukrainian Village, at 2249 West Superior Street in Chicago.
Hours: Thursday through Sunday, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.

September 24, 2010 - 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm"Salaam India"
The North Shore Center for Performing Arts
9501 Skokie Boulevard Skokie, IL 60077 |
The Indo-American Heritage Museum, in association with Vachikam, presents SALAAM INDIA.
An English play, inspired by Pavan Varma's "Being Indian", SALAAM INDIA has received rave reviews, and filled theaters at many locations in India.
This will be the only Chicago date on its first U.S. tour, the play is directed by Lushin Dubey, with music composed by Louiz Banks. Different situational excerpts from the lives of sixteen characters bring about the contradictions of joy, humor, and hope. Concisely articulating the ethos of this production, Director Dubey notes: "Indians, a heterogeneous multifarious lot, are difficult to define, and now even more so since we are at that juncture in our history, where we are springing out of our past, into the modern global world." |
