Mingle with colleagues and friends at the Tune-Up Party, hosted by the Chicago Symphony.
Be among the first to experience one of the most talked about venues in
all of the art world, the new Modern Wing at the Art Institute of
Chicago -- a $200-million project designed by architect Renzo Piano,
which is scheduled to open only a few short weeks before the League
conference.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra invites League delegates to enjoy an
elegant wine & cheese reception directly following the concert on
June 10. The festivities will be held in Griffin Court, a striking two
story glass and steel atrium amid the museum’s collection of 20th- and
21st-century art, including the world renowned collection of modern
European painting and sculpture, contemporary art, architecture and
design, and photography. Partygoers will also have an opportunity to
view the Art Institute’s renowned Impressionist and Post-Impressionists
galleries.
Immediately following the concert, League delegates can cross Michigan
Avenue and use the front entrance to the Art Institute. Staff will
direct you to the Grand Staircase and through the galleries to the
Modern Wing.
