The Good News: My Work Is Now in the Chicago Illinois Artisans Shop

I am happy to announce that my miniature rustic twig furniture is now being shown and sold at the Illinois Artisans Shop in the atrium of the State of Illinois Center at 100 W. Randolph Street in downtown Chicago.  Just take the escalator to the second floor, where the Shop is located right next to the Chicago gallery of the Illinois State Museums.

The Bad News: Southern Illinois Artisans Shop Is Closed

Due to state budgetary problems, the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake, which exhibited and sold the works of 750 Illinois artists and craftspeople, is now closed.  It's funny how when times are tough politicians always know the first thing to throw under the bus is Culture.  To be followed, if Governor Rauner gets his way, by hungry children, crippled workers, and sick people.
