Out and About with GCI – Old Town: The Artists’ Impact
April 1, 2016 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm CDT
$10
In the first half of the 20th century, Old Town’s formerly glamorous mansions and large homes attracted artists who shaped the community into what it is today.
Join GCI to learn about artists’ colonies and their impact on community planning. The tour will be lead by the Edgar Miller Legacy organization, and will focus on artist placemaking, creating artist communities, and how these communities impact the greater neighborhood. The tour also includes a rare look at one of Edgar Miller’s masterpieces, the Glasner Studio.
Spots are limited to 15 people with a recommended $10 donation, so reserve your spot now. Following the tour, head to the Old Town Ale House, a historic artists’ hangout. Cash only, all are welcome.

If you want to pay in cash or cannot donate at this time, please send an email to gcities@uic.edu to sign-up for the tour. This tour is open to everyone.
The $10 donation goes to help the mission of the Edgar Miller Legacy organization.
