Please join us for an evening of celebration, and contemplation - of the connections between art and architecture. The recently restored sculpture by Christine Tarkowski, “Working on the Failed Utopia” will be the site for a celebration to raise a glass, groove to some tunes, and watch the sun go down (and the sculpture light up!). But come early for a documentary film about the Frank Lloyd Wright house nearby in Kankakee – you won’t want to miss it!

• 6:30 Film “An American Home: Frank Lloyd Wright’s B. Harley Bradley House” documentary by Tom Desch. See trailer here
