Washington Street in Chicago.  The Chicago Cultural Center has entrances on both Washington Street and Randolph Street-- the Renaissance Court Gallery is located on the main floor just inside the Randolph entrance.  It has become a tradition for each exhibiting artist in Artists Breakfast Group shows to contribute a unique artist-made or -decorated cup to be sold at the show's Artists' Reception as a fundraiser.  My cup pictured above and many other interesting artists' cups will be for sale at the CAFFEINE VIII reception on Thursday, May 8 from 3:30 to 6:00pm.  See you there.

Thanks to James Mesple for purchasing my cup at the reception yesterday.

Rustic Birchbark, Twig, and Seashell Cup at Old Town Triangle Gallery in Chicago During October

4.5 inch high Rustic Birchbark, Twig, and Seashell Cup by George C. Clark  SOLD

Artists exhibiting in the Caffeine V show at the Old Town Triangle Art Gallery at 1763 N. North Park Avenue in Chicago are each contributing a unique artist-made cup to be sold at bargain prices as a fund-raising event for the sponsoring Artists Breakfast Group.  This is my contribution, a four and a half inch high cup made of birchbark, Lake Michigan driftwood, and seashells I picked up at Cocoa Beach, Florida last year.  The exhibition runs from October 3 to November 2, 2011.  Gallery hours are 10am to 5pm Monday through Friday and 10am to noon on Saturday.  There will be an Artists Reception on Sunday, October 9, from 2 to 5pm.  Unlike the art on the gallery's walls, the cups will be sold on a cash and carry basis and purchasers can take their cups home with them at the time of the sale.
