Recently, we celebrated the kick-off of the Hudson Street Community Collaborative with a special painting class. This is just the beginning of a very exciting number of events designed to connect, inspire, and shape our community. 

This Friday, November 2, two strikingly different yet complimentary artists (who became friends volunteering with Art on Sedgwick) will present their latest works. Next weekend, we're proud to be a trolley stop and activity center for Art Design Chicago's Near North Design Day -- a family-friendly celebration of the art and design legacy of our neighborhood. Check out these events -- and others --below!

Come join New York Times bestselling author Melanie Benjamin (The Aviator's Wife, The Swans of Fifth Avenue) in a discussion about books and writing.  We will read Angela Flournoy’s The Turner House, a novel about an African-American family in Detroit.  This is a book about what it takes to remain a family in challenging times.  We’ll discuss the book and how it pertains to our lives, and how we can write our own stories.
