Art Rave brings you the work of Georgia O'Keeffe.  Her Black Pansy is a wonderful piece to learn to paint with us.  Did you know she started her artistic career right here at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  O'Keeffe was unapologetically true to her own vision!

This painting is a bit more than just a pretty picture.  As the title reflects the beginning of cyber communication, we romanticize the mailbox and its vintage form.

Did you know Renoir and Monet were friends and would often paint together?!  Most of the time they would paint the same scene but would have completely different outcomes.   We think they were the first Art Raver's!  Join us as we feature Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Summer Landscape (Woman with a Parasol in a Garden). 

This is one of our favorite paintings!  This painting is based on a photo we took while at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.

Additional parking and behind the venue.

Elongated elegance paired with rustic warmth.  The barn wood is from a Burlington Wisconsin Barn, built in 1920.  Thank you Lake County Barnwood for reclaiming this old barn and making sure its history lives on.

We wanted to give those who didn't get a chance to come to paint our "Dear Bug" during the weeknights a chance to paint on the weekend.  Thanks to Lucky Emma's we can do just that!

Come early for a little lunch and save your seats!

So far this is one of my favorite floral designs we've done!  Adding the fish gave it such an unexpected touch of whimsy.  I just love it, and after seeing how amazing the class did the first time, we just had to offer it again.
