Michael Ferro, Chicago amateur artist, retired architect and art curator is excited to announce the first Art Exchange and Drop-In Sketching events of October 2024! Both events will take place on Thursday, October 3rd at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Art Exchange
The Art Institute of Chicago welcomes guests of all ages to attend the Art Exchange in the museum’s Ryan Learning Center. A standard event on the Art Institute’s calendar, this interactive event encourages visitors to create an art project. Guests are also encouraged to explore Access to Art: the Multisensory Gallery. Michael Ferro, Chicago Art Curator and lifelong attendee of Art Institute Chicago galleries and exhibitions, enjoys taking part in the JourneyMaker experience. JourneyMaker allows guests to create custom museum tours for a truly unique and interactive experience.
Drop-In Sketching
Sketch your heart out! Followed by the Art Exchange is the Drop-In Sketching interactive creative time class/workshop. The focal point of this Drop-In Sketching session is particularly special to Michael Ferro: architecture! During the class/workshop, attendees will have the chance to sketch drawings of recently reinstalled architecture fixtures in the design gallery. And of course, as always, Michael recommends taking a Gallery Tour after the Art Exchange and Drop-In Sketching sessions. Tours will run at 1 PM and 3 PM on October 3rd.
