His pieces are featured in numerous public spaces and museum collections, including two works held by the Koehnline Museum of Art. This exhibition showcases sculptures inspired by the textures and forms of natural landscapes—often vast expanses interrupted by both organic and industrial elements. Baur’s work offers abstract interpretations of these environments, frequently suggesting a horizontal orientation that reflects how natural forces can subdue vertical structures.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, July 2, 5 - 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from July 2 to September 25, 2026, during regular museum hours.

By Donna Russell and David Ranney
Adapted and directed by Peter Garino
Presented by The Shakespeare Project of Chicago

A trunk of letters, abandoned for nearly a century, unlocks a forgotten world. They reveal the passionate long-distance affair between Rhoda, confined to a TB sanitarium, and Jerry, a bookseller, in the tumultuous 1920s. Their words weave a story of a love that defiantly countered bigotry and political persecution with poetry, music, and left-wing ideals. Their struggles and joys played out in Chicago's bohemian underground, the Dill Pickle Club, bringing their rediscovered message of hope and resilience vividly to life.

Admission is free.

He studied at the Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus in Chicago) under the renowned Bauhaus Master László Moholy-Nagy and later joined the faculty there himself. During World War II, he served with the U.S. Army in Europe, and the drawings and documents he created during this period are now part of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library collection.

This exhibition presents, for the first time, a collection of works created by Franz Altschuler between the ages of nine and twelve while attending the Jewish Herrlingen Country Boarding School in Germany. Produced prior to his family's emigration to the United States in 1936, these works reveal the startling artistic output of a Jewish child in the shadow of Hitler's rise to power.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, December 3, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from December 3 - January 22, during regular museum hours.

He studied at the Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus in Chicago) under the renowned Bauhaus Master László Moholy-Nagy and later joined the faculty there himself. During World War II, he served with the U.S. Army in Europe, and the drawings and documents he created during this period are now part of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library collection.

This exhibition presents, for the first time, a collection of works created by Franz Altschuler between the ages of nine and twelve while attending the Jewish Herrlingen Country Boarding School in Germany. Produced prior to his family's emigration to the United States in 1936, these works reveal the startling artistic output of a Jewish child in the shadow of Hitler's rise to power.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, December 3, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from December 3 - January 22, during regular museum hours.

He regularly returns to his former neighborhood and other areas of the city to document the lives of everyday people. Through his work, Howard seeks to tell the stories of African Americans whose contributions and achievements have often been overlooked in history. His drawings focus on marginalized and disenfranchised individuals, bringing visibility to those too often forgotten. This body of work reflects the diversity, resilience, and complexity of the African American community, portraying stories of hope and aspiration despite systemic inequities. Howard’s art also highlights the contrast between mainstream portrayals of African Americans and the realities of racism that continue to shape everyday life.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, Feburary 4, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from Feburary 4- March 26, during regular museum hours.

These familiar figures reemerge almost beyond her conscious control, inspiring a new body of work in which long-standing artistic companions encounter newly imagined beings. Through a process of creative regeneration, the seemingly inert materials of canvas, paint, and paper become a meeting place where the old and the new converge. Working in mixed media, Zelazny creates richly allegorical and narrative compositions inspired by premodern genre painting. Her representational works feature both humanoid and fantastical characters whose ambiguous identities invite multiple interpretations. Through these imaginative encounters, Zelazny explores themes of memory, transformation, and storytelling, encouraging viewers to engage with the paintings' layered meanings and evolving narratives.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, May 13, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from May 13 - June 25, during regular museum hours.

These familiar figures reemerge almost beyond her conscious control, inspiring a new body of work in which long-standing artistic companions encounter newly imagined beings. Through a process of creative regeneration, the seemingly inert materials of canvas, paint, and paper become a meeting place where the old and the new converge. Working in mixed media, Zelazny creates richly allegorical and narrative compositions inspired by premodern genre painting. Her representational works feature both humanoid and fantastical characters whose ambiguous identities invite multiple interpretations. Through these imaginative encounters, Zelazny explores themes of memory, transformation, and storytelling, encouraging viewers to engage with the paintings' layered meanings and evolving narratives.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, May 13, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from May 13 - June 25, during regular museum hours.

These familiar figures reemerge almost beyond her conscious control, inspiring a new body of work in which long-standing artistic companions encounter newly imagined beings. Through a process of creative regeneration, the seemingly inert materials of canvas, paint, and paper become a meeting place where the old and the new converge. Working in mixed media, Zelazny creates richly allegorical and narrative compositions inspired by premodern genre painting. Her representational works feature both humanoid and fantastical characters whose ambiguous identities invite multiple interpretations. Through these imaginative encounters, Zelazny explores themes of memory, transformation, and storytelling, encouraging viewers to engage with the paintings' layered meanings and evolving narratives.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, May 13, 5 – 8 p.m.

After attending the University of Illinois with the intention of becoming a professional concert pianist, he joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and traveled to Spain to fight against Fascism. In 1937, after injuring one of his hands in battle, he returned to Chicago and enrolled at László Moholy-Nagy’s New Bauhaus (later the School of Design). Despite the injury, which ultimately resulted in the loss of his hand, Balchowsky continued to work across multiple artistic disciplines and became a central figure in Chicago’s bohemian community. This exhibition features a unique selection of works from the Bauhaus Chicago Foundation collection as well as pieces contributed by Balchowsky’s friends.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, July 8, 5 – 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from July 8 - September 17, during regular museum hours.

After attending the University of Illinois with the intention of becoming a professional concert pianist, he joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and traveled to Spain to fight against Fascism. In 1937, after injuring one of his hands in battle, he returned to Chicago and enrolled at László Moholy-Nagy’s New Bauhaus (later the School of Design). Despite the injury, which ultimately resulted in the loss of his hand, Balchowsky continued to work across multiple artistic disciplines and became a central figure in Chicago’s bohemian community. This exhibition features a unique selection of works from the Bauhaus Chicago Foundation collection as well as pieces contributed by Balchowsky’s friends.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, July 8, 5 – 8 p.m.
