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.
