Susan Weininger, associate professor of art history and assistant director of the School of Liberal Studies, Roosevelt University, is the guest speaker during this 45-minute session. Weininger will talk about the number of immigrant artists, both refugees and those simply seeking a better life in America, who were part of the community of modernist artists in Chicago during the inter- war period. She will discuss the work of immigrant artists who settled in Chicago, and define the idiosyncratic brand of modernism that developed in Chicago. Bring your own lunch. Beverages will be supplied.
