WINTER-RISING: An investigation of the affect of winter on the artist psyche

Last winter's polar vortex in Chicago was long, unrelenting and brought surprising consequences. This year, see winter with a fresh eye. Be part of a select group of artists who will keep diaries throughout the winter, documenting their observations, thoughts and inspirations. Take your diary with you wherever you go: draw in it, write poems, save found objects.
