ARTS & CRAFTS: A CELEBRATION OF LOCAL ART & CRAFT BEER
On Wednesday, August 8, Public House and Chicago Artists’ Coalition presented a one-night mash-up of innovations in contemporary art and craft brewing. In response to a special CAC organized commission, five local artists presented original artworks inspired by five craft beers of their choice. Guests sampled the beers, met the artists and voted on their favorite pairing.

Taste of Chicago Commission
In partnership with this year’s Taste of Chicago, CAC is proud to announce that Linsey Burritt and Crystal Grover of INDO have been selected by the Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events to create a dynamic ceiling installation as part of the festival’s new “Celebrity Chef du Jour” dining tent. CAC was invited to manage this city-wide commission in order to incorporate a visual arts component by a Chicago artist that will elevate the experience of the diners and complement the creative ingenuity of the participating chefs.
