If you could
create something that best represents you, what would it be? Harrington College of Design
is asking that question to established and aspiring local artists,
photographers and designers , inviting
them to participate in the 2nd Annual “You’re a Piece of
Work” gallery show on Friday, April 4 from 6p.m. -
9 p.m. at Fulton
Street Collective, 2000 W. Fulton St. in Chicago.
Hosted by Harrington College of Design, this communal
event will feature live music, silent auction, drinks and appetizers as well as provide artistic enthusiasts
an opportunity to come together
and celebrate the collaboration of various
visual disciplines.
“Part of preparing our
students to become leaders in design is reinforcing the concept that designers
contribute and give back to the community. We
are excited to host this event to bring creative
minds, both aspiring or professional, to come together for an evening of connecting,
relationship building , networking and fun, all while supporting local high school students through Chicago
HOPE,” explains Max S. Shangle, President of Harrington College of Design.
