We enjoyed unlimited tastings from 30+ Italian bites, 20+ Italian wines, spirits, and beers, live entertainment, chef demos, and more! Looking forward to the next one! 🥂

Event Alert! 🚨 @Macys on State Street welcomes Mac Event Alert! 🚨 @Macys on State Street welcomes Macy’s Flower Show Pop-up 🌺🌹 April 16th - May 10th 🌼🌻. 📍111 N State Street

This morning I attended an exclusive media show preview and you’re in for a treat! The show celebrates floral, scent, fashion, and color at the brand’s Iconic Chicago flag ship. The flower show is FREE and open to the public during store hours. 

Inspired by America’s gardens and timeless art of handcraft, customers will embark on a cross-country floral journey through a series of immersive greenhouse moments across the main floor, featuring violets, magnolias, poppies, carnations, roses, and more! 

As a nod to the buildings century-long heritage, the experience will also feature references to the original Marshall Field’s logo. Customers can also shop curated product assortments presented by @Coach and @Fossil alongside limited-time menu offerings at Marshall Field’s Walnut Room, celebrating the start of the Spring Season.

Event Alert! 🚨 @Expochicago is BACK at Navy Pier! Event Alert! 🚨 @Expochicago is BACK at Navy Pier! (April 9th - 12th) I always love going Opening Night. EXPO CHICAGO Contemporary Art Fair showcases leading contemporary and modern art galleries alongside a diverse and inventive program of
talks, on-site installations, and public art initiatives. 

Great performance by @dcomposedchicago! 🎻 

Last night I attended Dialogues, which is an onsite discussion offering a deeper look at some of the themes, artists, and partnerships at the fair. I attended the panel 𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨’𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 (Moderated by: Virginia Shore (Curator of commissions, Obama Presidential Center)).

The conversation brought together a selection of contributing artists from the Obama Presidential Center’s commissioned art collection to share their ideas, research, and process driving these significant public commissions. Speakers explored how they are responding to the cultural and civic bison of the Center (opening this June) and the profound significance of creating new work for this landmark institution on Chicago’s South Side. @Obamafoundation
