UPCOMING EVENTS

Northwest Cultural Council Corporate Gallery Exhibition
through August 2, 2010 at Arlington Green Executive Centre

2101 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL

Reception and Poetry Reading July 17, 2010, 1-3pm

An artists’ reception and poetry reading will be held Saturday, July 17, 2010 from 1-3 pm at our wonderful gallery space at Arlington Green Executive Centre, 2101 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL, 60005. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served.

Works by artists in the Council's Corporate Gallery Program are on display. The Northwest Cultural Council's Corporate Gallery Exhibits reflect a wide variety of media, artistic expression and vision of the artists. It is our belief that exposure to many kinds of art works will expand the observer's appreciation of art and artists. We hope these exhibits will make art a part of the everyday life of the viewer.

Through the years the Council has recognized and promoted poetry as one of the very important arts. We encourage all people, but especially young people, to read, understand, and learn to write poetry. An important part of NWCC's commitment to poetry is the Second Saturday Poetry Workshops.  We have been offering these sessions every month for the past eleven years.  During the reception some of the published poets who lead the workshops will be reading selections of their work.

ALL ART IS FOR SALE.  A percentage of the sale price is a tax-deductible donation to support the Council, a not-for-profit community agency bringing visual art, music, dance, theater, poetry, and our unique "Kids Meet Art"™ program to the northwest suburbs.

The exhibition can be viewed on Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.  Admission is always free.
