The Richard H. Driehaus Museum engages and inspires the global community through exploration and ongoing conversations in art, architecture, and design of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its permanent collection and temporary exhibitions are presented in an immersive experience within the restored Samuel Mayo Nickerson Mansion, completed in 1883, at the height of the Gilded Age, and the 1926 Murphy Auditorium. The Museum’s collection reflects and is inspired by the collecting interests, vision, and focus of its founder, the late Richard H. Driehaus.
The Museum is located just steps from the Magnificent Mile. The exquisite building was saved twice, first by a collective of over 100 Chicago citizens in 1919, and then by philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus, who sponsored its restoration from 2003-2008.

Friday, April 10 | 6:00–9:00pm
In this newly commissioned durational work choreographed by Brendan Fernandes, the first artist-in-residence to activate the Driehaus Museum’s newly restored 1926 Murphy Auditorium, an ensemble of performers from across Chicago’s vibrant independent dance community gather to create a dynamic site for sculptural installation, movement, and sound. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of New York City’s Judson Dance Theater, each performance is improvisational in nature, with no prescribed beginning or end. Brendan Fernandes: Score for the Murphy Auditorium features a rotating cast of dancers that interact with minimalist site-specific installations designed by AIM Architecture (Antwerp, Shanghai, Chicago) alongside textiles developed in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, and a sound installation by Chicago-based experimental musician Alex Inglizian. Presented in partnership with EXPO ART WEEK’s Art After Hours.
Artist & Curator Talk: Brendan Fernandes and Stephanie Cristello
Saturday, April 11 | 1:00pm
Charting the influence of the Judson Dance Theater, a pioneering collective of choreographers, composers, filmmakers, and artists who revolutionized contemporary dance in the 1960s, Fernandes and Cristello will present how this exhibition expands upon legacies for open collaboration and collective creation. Dissolving the boundary between audience and performer, both will discuss these themes alongside dancers from the cast of the newly-commissioned performance work Scores for the Murphy Auditorium—inviting visitors to experience history, performance, and space from multiple perspectives. Presented in partnership with EXPO ART WEEK.
Performance: Brendan Fernandes: Score for the Murphy Auditorium
Wednesday, May 6 | 5:00–7:00pm
In this newly commissioned durational work choreographed by Brendan Fernandes, the first artist-in-residence to activate the Driehaus Museum’s 1926 Murphy Auditorium, an ensemble of performers from across Chicago’s vibrant independent dance community gather to create a dynamic site for sculptural installation, movement, and sound.
Open Rehearsal
Wednesday, May 6 and Friday, May 8 |12:00-4:00 PM
An open rehearsal with the performers offering audiences a rare, behind-the-curtains glimpse of the new work by Laura Baumeister and Jenna Weatherbie, Inosculate, which will premiere May 9.
Solo Improvisation
Thursday, May 7| 12:00-4:00 PM
Ensemble dancer Laura Baumeister will create a long form solo improvisation inspired Fernandes' installation, guided by choreography that engages self-expression, instinct, and individual interpretation.
Performance: Concerts of Dance: Laura Baumeister
Saturday, May 9 | 1:00pm
Evolving from a process spanning nearly two years, Laura Baumeister is joined by their collaborator Jenna Weatherbie to present a freshly finalized work, Inosculate. Described as the act of joining as one by intertwining, the term ‘inosculate’ is most used to recognize the process in trees that, over the span of years, may knock into one another as they grow and are moved by the wind. By rare chance, they fuse at their exposed wounds before healing to become one interconnected organism. Born from a series of long-form improvisational sessions and rooted in trust and relational intimacy, this project examines closeness formed by necessity versus choice, and the quiet tenderness embedded in everyday acts of care—buttoning clothing, braiding hair, tying ribbons, and holding one another. Baumeister will hold open rehearsals and improvisational performances in the Murphy Auditorium Wednesday, May 6–Friday May 8, leading up to the final performance.
MORE ABOUT BRENDAN FERNANDES: IN THE ROUND
Inspired by the pioneering spirit of New York City’s Judson Dance Theater and their Concerts for Dance, Fernandes debuts a new commission, Score for the Murphy Auditorium, and Concerts of Dance, in which Fernandes invites Chicago’s independent dance community to create new works throughout the residency.
The Judson Dance Theater was an influential collective of choreographers, composers, filmmakers, and artists in 1960s New York who revolutionized dance by rejecting classical technique in favor of everyday gesture and shared experimentation. Initially staged in the sanctuary of Judson Memorial Church between 1962 and 1966, the group’s early performances offered a radical blueprint for creative freedom. Decades later, Fernandes reimagines this legacy for the present, re-situating its spirit in the Driehaus Museum’s 1926 Murphy Auditorium, which was modeled after a church in Paris. Brendan Fernandes: In the Round collapses past and present, revealing a shared lineage of artists transforming unconventional spaces into places of expression, experimentation, and community.
“In the Round invites us to experience contemporary art and dance as a shared architectural and social space—one shaped by bodies moving together through history,” says Guest Curator Stephanie Cristello. “Reactivating the radical spirit of the Judson Dance Theater within the Murphy Auditorium, Brendan Fernandes asks us to see history itself as something lived, collective, and continually re-made.”
Dancers interact with minimalist site-specific installations developed in collaboration with AIM Architecture (Antwerp, Shanghai, Chicago) and textile-based works by The Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia), echoing the multidisciplinary ethos of Judson Dance Theater. The installation places modern minimalism in dialogue with the Museum’s Gilded Age ornamentation, creating an interactive stage setting for visitors to experience history, performance, and space from multiple perspectives.
Lead support for Brendan Fernandes: In the Round is provided by Cari and Michael J. Sacks. Major support is provided by the Driehaus Trust Company, LLC, Anne L. Kaplan, and Gary Metzner and Scott Johnson. Generous support is provided by Elizabeth Liebman. Additional support is provided by Friends of Brendan Fernandes.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Brendan Fernandes (b. 1979, Nairobi, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual arts. Currently based in Chicago, his practice addresses issues of race, queer culture, migration, protest, and other forms of collective movement. Constantly seeking to create new spaces and forms of agency, Fernandes’ work often takes on hybrid forms: part ballet, part queer dance party, part political protest always rooted in collaboration and fostering solidarity. Fernandes is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program (2007) and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Robert Rauschenberg Residency Fellowship (2014), a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2020), an Artadia Award (2019), a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant (2019), and most recently, the Platform Award (2024). In 2024, he was also honored with the Creative Voice Award by Arts Alliance Illinois. His work has been presented at prestigious venues such as the 2019 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Chicago), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC), among many others. Fernandes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art, Theory, and Practice at Northwestern University. He is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago and Susan Inglett Gallery in New York. Recent and upcoming projects include performances and solo presentations at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation (St. Louis, MO), the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (Denver, CO), the Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia, PA), and Prospect.6 (New Orleans, LA).

PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS
Laura Baumeister is a freelance movement artist, with a BFA in Modern Dance. They have dedicated much of their independent work to long form improvisational studies in composing movement from a base of imagery, sound scores, environment, and deep feeling. Baumeister has found that disentangling the brain and personality from how we innately move is a delightfully impossible feat; thus letting them inform and inspire one another lets us explore ourselves and others in an inexplicable profound way. Their most recent projects include GRIT by Maggie Vannucci, an evening length work created for the Steppenwolf Lookout Series, as well as performing as part of an improvisational multi-disciplinary exhibition with movement partner Katlin Bourgeois, The Rite created by Brendan Fernandes at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago for the exhibition City in a Garden, from July 2025–March 2026. She also participated as a performer and choreographer for Little Fire Artist Collective in November of 2025. Baumeister has been part of work for Brendan Fernandes at The Driehaus Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Oxbow School of Art and Artists’ residency, and The Raclin Murphy Museum. They have also performed in works by Jessi Stegall, Noelle Kayser, Robyn Mineko Williams, Sophie Allen, Chih-Jou Cheng for the Chicago Cultural Center Artist Residency, Rebecca Aneloski (And Artists Company), and Fever Dream Dance Company. They are currently coming to the end of a two-year long process creating an evening length work with their close friend and collaborator Jenna Weatherbie; a premiere of the work in the process of being finalized.
Hanna DiLorenzo is a multidisciplinary freelance dance artist originally from Rochester, NY. She began her formal training at The Draper Center for Dance Education, formerly the school of the Rochester City Ballet. Later, she attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where she earned her BFA in Contemporary Dance and completed her academics early before moving to Chicago to join the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Professional Training Program (HS Pro). There, she completed her degree while performing alongside the main company and was honored with the 2019 HS Pro Emerging Choreographer Award. Now based in Chicago, DiLorenzo moves fluidly between roles as a performer, choreographer, rehearsal director, and collaborator. She is a company member with Boykin Dance Project, a founding member of Little Fire Artist Collective, and dancer, choreographer, and rehearsal director for Niko8 Performance. Her freelance work has led her to perform pieces by artists including Braeden Barnes, Brendan Fernandes, Abdiel Figueroa Reyes, FLOCKWORKS, Alicia Johnson, Brian Martinez, Jessi Stegall, and Justin Rapaport, and she was also a cover for Robyn Mineko Williams’ Echo Mine. DiLorenzo’s choreographic voice is grounded in a desire to challenge convention—crafting work that moves with cinematic clarity while using staging and lighting as expressive tools. Her choreography has been presented by Chicago Live, Highland Park High School, HS Pro, Little Fire Artist Collective, New Dances 2025, Niko8, See Chicago Dance, and various film festivals. Choreographic residencies on the horizon include the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and Symbiosis Arts.

From 1857 to 1870, Stebbins created innovative marble and bronze sculptures while living in Rome and studying within the circles of historic sculptors. Her work models inventive and incisive interpretations of literary and biblical subjects, as well as unprecedented allegories of American industry. With the Bethesda Fountain in 1863, Stebbins became the first woman to earn a commission for a public sculpture from the City of New York. Organized by the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, New York, earlier this year, Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History is curated by Karli Wurzelbacher, Chief Curator of the Heckscher Museum, and is the first museum exhibition devoted to the late artist’s work. Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History takes place at the Driehaus Museum, 50 E. Erie Street, from October 8, 2026 to April 18, 2027.
The exhibition reunites Stebbins’s oeuvre of neoclassical works, including 13 marble sculptures from across the US and Europe, in addition to paintings and a wealth of archival materials contextualizing her practice, her network, and her popularity on both sides of the pond. Stebbins was married to renowned Shakespearean actress Charlotte Cushman and one section of the exhibition prominently displays Stebbins’s bust of Cushman along with photographs, rare works on paper, and first editions of Stebbins’s posthumous biography of her partner. As a professional sculptor in a female marriage in the nineteenth century, Stebbins reimagined what a woman’s life could be in the mid‑nineteenth century, embedding layers of meaning into her work that upend traditional understandings of gender, sexuality, and agency.
“In her lifetime, Stebbins was widely celebrated, yet even by the time of her death she was beginning to slip from view, her contributions gradually left out of the history books. This exhibition seeks to correct that quiet erasure and restore her rightful place as a significant artist of her era. We are deeply grateful to Art Bridges for their partnership in bringing renewed attention to her work and ensuring her story is once again seen and valued,” says Driehaus Museum Executive DirectorLisa M. Key. “Stebbins’s life and art reflect enduring questions about recognition, memory, and identity. By revisiting her legacy, we hope to illuminate how easily even celebrated artists can be forgotten, and how vital it is to bring their voices back into focus to inspire future generations.”
Generous support for Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History is provided by Art Bridges Foundation.
Major Support is provided by the Driehaus Trust Company, LLC. and Clare Blessen Ayer and Laura Mandel.

The Museum renovated and re-opened the Murphy Auditorium to the public in 2024. Open House Chicago is free, and reservations are not required. This event does not include admission to the Museum’s exhibition or gallery spaces. For more information, visit https://openhousechicago.org/. On Saturday from 1:00-2:00pm, the auditorium features a free performance of Hanna DiLorenzo: Behind Closed Doors .

\r\n\r\nL’Affichomania: The Passion for French Posters features approximately 50 posters by the five grand masters of the medium: Jules Chéret, Eugène Grasset, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Alphonse Mucha. The posters date from 1875 to 1910, the exuberant era in France known as the Belle Époque. These pioneering artists reigned in Paris during this period of artistic proliferation, defining a never-before-seen, and never forgotten, art form.
\r\n\r\nBright and bold and found everywhere along the boulevards of fin-de-siècle Paris, the color poster was a brilliant fusion of art and commerce. It advertised cigarette papers and milk, immortalized stage stars and bohemian cabarets, and won the adoration of passersby and art collectors. Subject as it was to wind, rain, and being covered up by posters from rival firms, the ephemeral poster nonetheless became the subject of passionate collecting in its own time. The poster craze, known as affichomanie, revolved around the acquisition of these posters, from buying and selling special editions to stealthy removals from walls and kiosks.
\r\n\r\nDrawn from the Driehaus Collection of Fine and Decorative Arts, the posters on view feature such iconic images as Steinlen’s Le Chat Noir and Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge: La Goulue. Each of the five artists will be featured in one of the period galleries in the Museum, allowing guests to explore the artists’ individual style and compare them with their contemporaries.

The “Marble Palace” hosts an all new Murder Mystery, this year based on one of the most important events in Chicago’s history…
\r\n\r\nIn 1893, the biggest fair in the world attracted millions of visitors to Chicago. Sadly, some of those people were never heard from again. On the evening of “Chicago Day,” October 9, a small group of 16 revelers were enjoying the fireworks from the roof of the Pabst Casino. One such fellow, Francis Furter, was found dead in a beer barrel the next morning. However, the mysterious case was never solved.
\r\n\r\nA cold case investigator travels back in time to the first Big Wheel, to the first box of Cracker Jack, to the White City-to the Columbian Exposition of 1893. Come one, come all to the Chicago World’s Fair! This is one for the history books…
\r\n\r\nYour ticket includes a reception of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a three-course dinner in the historic Ballroom. Period attire is highly encouraged but not required. Guests must be 21 years of age. Advanced ticket purchase is required.
\r\n\r\nProceeds from the Murder Mystery support programming at the Driehaus Museum.
\r\n\r\nMurder Mystery is presented in partnership with Get Away with Murder Productions.

\r\n\r\nYour ticket includes a reception of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a three-course dinner in the historic Ballroom. Period attire is highly encouraged but not required. Guests must be 21 years of age. Advanced ticket purchase is required.
\r\n\r\nProceeds from the Murder Mystery support programming at the Driehaus Museum.
\r\n\r\nMurder Mystery is presented in partnership with Get Away with Murder Productions.

Designed for form and function, each of these works of art acts as a window into our national history, culture, and social trends. Designs from the late-nineteenth century Aesthetic Movement emphasize hand-craftsmanship and ornamentation, ironically prized by those who had amassed great wealth through industrialization. The emergence of computer technology is seen in the color and complexity of the twenty-first century’s Postmodern chairs.
\r\n\r\nThis encyclopedic survey of exceptional chair design stresses the formation of an American aesthetic. The exhibition features chairs by designers George Hunzinger, the Herter Brothers, the Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Isamu Noguchi, and Frank Gehry, among others, The Art of Seating showcases this country’s creativity and ingenuity in decorative design over the last 200 years.
\r\n\r\nThe chairs are presented surrounded by the lavish late 19th-century interiors of the Driehaus Museum—once the residence of the affluent Nickerson and Fisher families of Chicago. Each piece of seating furniture in the 1883 mansion was carefully designed to harmonize with the room for which it was intended. The intricately carved maple wood chairs of the Drawing Room and the magnificent ebonized wood furniture of the Library, both attributed to renowned Gilded Age cabinetmaker George Schastey, were not purely functional objects but rather art objects, representative of the finest craftsmanship of the day.

Beauty’s Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America looks at the popular revival of portraiture in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when both the established elite and the newly wealthy sought out artists who could highlight their social standing and personal affluence.
Beauty’s Legacy contains works by artists such as Gilbert Stuart, Rembrandt Peale, John Singer Sargent, Eastman Johnson, and William Adolphe Bouguereau. It features portraits of members of socially prominent families such as Washington, Bonaparte, Livingston, Vanderbilt, and Astor.

One of the most celebrated painters of the Gilded Age, John Singer Sargent was best known for his oil portraits, whose bravura brushwork, grandeur, and vibrancy proved immensely appealing to sitters of affluence among the era’s social and cultural set. This lecture explores Sargent’s talents as a storyteller of the brush, focusing on how the artist’s many riveting likenesses both drew from the past and pushed painting in new directions at the turn of the twentieth century.
Annelise K. Madsen is the Gilda and Henry Buchbinder Assistant Curator of American Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. She is curator of the exhibition John Singer Sargent and Chicago’s Gilded Age (July 1–September 30, 2018) and author of its accompanying publication. Madsen cocurated America after the Fall: Painting in the 1930s (2016) and Art and Appetite: American Painting, Culture, and Cuisine (2013). In addition to essays for exhibition catalogues, she has contributed several essays on Gilded Age and Progressive Era art to journals including Winterthur Portfolio (2014) and American Art (2012), as well as such volumes as Women Building History: Public Art at the 1893 Columbian Exposition (2011) and The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Cultural and Intellectual History (2013). Her scholarship has been supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Luce Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies, the Mellon Foundation, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and the United States Capitol Historical Society. She recently served on the board of the Association of Historians of American Art (2014–17). Madsen holds a PhD in art history from Stanford University and a BA from Washington University in St. Louis.

Historian and Chicago Brewseum founder, Liz Garibay, shares stories of how German immigrants—through industry, craft, innovation and culture—were vital to Chicago’s late 19th-century urban development and to her socio-cultural landscape. Doug Hurst, co-founder and head brewer of Metropolitan Brewing, discusses German-American influences on beer making from the 19th century to today and brings along some beers to try.
Liz Garibay is a Chicago historian and founder of the Chicago Brewseum who has been studying and conducting field research in beer and alcohol history for nearly two decades. She created the Chicago Beer History + Culture Project and acts as an independent curator and consultant with partner institutions, including the Field Museum, Chicago History Museum, Newberry Library, DANK Haus German-American Cultural Center, the Pabst Mansion and many others, to highlight their collections and to preserve, share and promote Chicago’s beer history and culture.
Doug Hurst was once offered the choice between home-brewing a batch of beer and writing a term paper. Nearly 30 years later, he’s considered a pioneer in the Chicago craft beer industry. Metropolitan Brewing’s classically brewed German-style lagers - consistent, reliable, and crowd-pleasing - demonstrate his expertise and dedication to craft beer.

The inaugural exhibition in the Driehaus Museum’s new contemporary art series focuses on Yinka Shonibare MBE, an artist who draws on history, politics, and fashion influences to explore and critique our understanding of the past. This will be Shonibare’s first museum survey exhibition in Chicago and features four bodies of work, from his early series of photographs to his most recent sculptures and installation pieces. All of the British-Nigerian artist’s work reflects the intersection of his English and African heritage. While at first he seems to be celebrating the eras his artwork depicts, upon closer inspection it is clear he is rejecting the attitudes and trappings of those past periods in history.
A Tale of Today, the Driehaus Museum’s new contemporary art series, will provide opportunities for audiences to see the history of the Gilded Age through different lenses, and explore the social, class, racial and economic issues that make that history relevant to society now.

In the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising the dominant narrative treats Ireland as a colonized nation oppressed by the British Empire that only found freedom through the sacrifice of the Easter rebels and the War of Independence. However, a more nuanced picture has emerged of Ireland’s complex relationship with the British Empire.
In honor of Irish-America Heritage Month, Dr. Sean Farrell will explore Ireland’s complex identity as both a colonized nation of the British Empire and its role as a colonizer abroad. Farrell charts the career of Charles Duffy, one of the most prominent Irish nationalists of the nineteenth century - editor, politician, intellectual, and dissident—illustrates the complex relationship between nationalism and imperialism, the two most powerful forces that created the modern world.
Sean Farrell is Associate Professor of History at Northern Illinois University. A former president of the American Conference for Irish Studies, he is the author of a number of book and articles on nineteenth-century Irish history, most notably the award-winning Rituals and Riots: Sectarian Violence and Political Culture in Modern Ulster, 1784-1886(Lexington, 2000). He is currently working on a biography of the Irish nationalist leader, Charles Gavan Duffy, tentatively entitled Charles Gavan Duffy: A Nineteenth-Century Irish Life.

Every age has seen Modernism challenge the status quo in the arts, and redefine how audiences perceive “Classical” aesthetics. In the 17thcentury, musical modernism took the form of a wild new style - the StylusPhantasticus - that pushed conventional genres and techniques to their limits. Experience this groundbreaking music through such visionary composers as Buxtehude, Biber, and Schmelzer, Telemann, and Bach. Explore the parallels with how the Driehaus Museum, in its 10th year, is looking forward by pushing its own boundaries, questioning the status quo, and inspiring a whole new generation with its contemporary art initiative, A Tale of Today.

Explore Yinka Shonibare’s practices of leveraging extraordinary textiles and period clothing as cultural signifiers through a discussion between Melinda Watt, the Christa C. Mayer Thurman Curator of Textiles at the Art Institute of Chicago and historian Kirstin Purtich. Purtich will examine how global colonization plays a role in forming hybrid cultural identities and Watt will focus on the history of the textile trade including the conditions that led to the development of a West African market for “Dutch wax” cloth in the 19th century.

Ragtime music was developed during the Gilded Age and became widely popular after the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Ragtime music mixes European classical music and marches, with African rhythms and influences. Composers like Scott Joplin, called the “King of Ragtime,” who was also influenced by the music of the American South, could be heard in live performance and on player pianos in many American leisure settings. Celebrate this multicultural musical history with songs, crafts and activities and an opportunity to play instruments that bring Ragtime music to life!

The first event in our Oscar Wilde salon series that will explore the fascinating life and literary work of Oscar Wilde. One of the most popular authors of his time, Oscar Wilde is celebrated for his humor, wit, and as a pioneer of the aesthetic movement in literature. In 1890, Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was deemed fit “for none but outlawed noblemen and perverted telegraphy boys.” Join Dr. Jennifer Conary as she discusses this scandalous 19th century narrative, in light of his provocative persona and the influence of censorship and commercial interests on Wilde’s legacy. Refreshments will be served.
Jennifer Conary received her PhD from the University of Southern California and joined DePaul University faculty in September 2008. Her research interests include Victorian literature and culture, the history of the novel, 18th- and 19th-century British women’s writing, and issues related to gender in the long 19th century. She teaches courses on British literature in the long 19th century; 19th-century Gothic; the history of romance and the novel; the British novel; major novelists such as Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Charles Dickens; and the contemporary coming-of-age novel.

This month’s family day will give young artists the chance to work with the same materials that Yinka Shonibare CBE uses in his artwork. The program includes a guided art lesson that allows the whole family to create a wearable work of art, inspired by beautiful sculptures in our current exhibition A Tale of Today: Yinka Shonibare CBE. Participants will learn more about the textiles and then use Dutch Wax fabric to create a necklace, pin, bracelet or key chain.
Waxcloth fabric developed in the 1700’s from traditional Indonesian batik techniques, became popular in West Africa in the late 1800’s during a wave of trading and colonization with the Dutch. For almost 150 years, African families all over the world have loved this sturdy fabric’s bright colors and vibrant patterns, wearing it for everything from daily life to the most important celebrations, and it has become a symbol of worldwide African pride. Nigerian-British visual artist Yinka Shonibare CBE employs waxcloth in his work to discuss Africa’s relationship with the world, using it to make everything from clothing to furniture to decorations.
Celebrate this multicultural history and craft your own masterpiece by making a one-of-a-kind waxcloth project to wear or gift. This workshop will give you the foundations to make a necklace, key chain, bracelet, or pin. Materials provided, no experience necessary and suitable for all ages 3 & up.

In the 1880s, when brash, salty, George Wellington, known as “Cap’n” Streeter, beached his vessel on a sandbar in proximity to what is now known as Huron Street, he shrewdly, if not illegally claimed the area as his own. He infamously became one of Chicago’s early Real Estate speculators by subdividing this property and selling lots to unsuspecting investors. From its “Rags to Riches” beginning, Streeterville has emerged as one of the most varied and interesting neighborhoods in Chicago. Revisit its fascinating history—enclaves of art and academia, architectural wonders, hidden secrets, and exciting tales of treachery. Tour begins at The Driehaus Museum and ends at The Drake.
Tour is approximately 75 minutes and covers about 2 miles of walking. Tour goes on rain or shine. Comfortable walking shoes, water, a hat, and sunscreen are highly recommended, especially on warmer days. Please arrive at the Museum 15 minutes before the tour begins.

Oscar Wilde famously said, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” No-one could accuse Wilde of being anything but his unique self. Oscar Wilde was a brilliant and witty dramatist, a passionate socialist, a father, a husband and fantastically queer—arguably one of the greatest writers of the English language. Join Michael Halberstam, founder and Artistic Director of Writers Theatre (described by Terry Teachout as the country’s finest theatre company), together with Dr. Jeffrey Kessler of University of Illinois Chicago, as they lead an evening of dramatic readings and discussion of Wilde’s controversial life as see through his writings and key biographical moments.
Michael Halberstam is the co-founder of Writers Theatre. He has directed over thirty-five productions for the company and has appeared in numerous Writers Theatre productions. Previously, he spent two years at The Stratford Festival in Ontario. Halberstam’s other Chicago acting credentials include productions with Wisdom Bridge Theater, Court Theatre and Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Elsewhere he directed for Northlight Theatre, Illinois Shakespeare Festival, Jean Cocteau Repertory in New York, Drury Lane Theatre, OIff-Broadway at 59E59 Theaters in New York City, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Lincoln Center Theater in New York and San Jose Repertory Theatre. His forays into opera have included Chicago Opera Theater and the Ravinia Festival. He spent two and a half years teaching Shakespeare at The Theatre School at DePaul University and has received awards for excellence in theater management and/or artistic achievement from The Chicago Drama League, The Arts & Business Council of Chicago, Chicago Lawyers for the Creative Arts, and The Chicago Associates of the Stratford Festival. He also received the 2010 Zelda Fichandler Award, the 2013 Artistic Achievement Award from the League of Chicago Theatres, was named the Chicago Tribune’s 2013 “Chicagoan of the Year” for Theater, and received the 2016 Award of Honor for Outstanding Contributions to the Field from the Illinois Theatre Association, a special award for 2016 from the Joseph Jefferson Award Committee for outstanding theatrical accomplishments and contributions to Chicagoland theatre for the past 25 years; and a distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Illinois.
Jeffrey C. Kessler works at the intersection of fiction, criticism, and art in the nineteenth century. He is currently working on two book projects. Portraits of the fin-de-siecle examines portraiture across media as part of emerging modern conceptions of subjectivity in the nineteenth century. He is also coauthoring a textbook, tentatively titled A People’s Grammar, which marries traditional grammar instruction with democratic principles of style. His work has appeared in several academic journals including Nineteenth Century Contexts, English Literature in Transition, and Victorian Studies. He received his PhD in English from Indiana University and taught at DePaul University for several years. Currently, he is a lecturer in the English department at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Though it is called River North today, during the Gilded Age the neighborhood surrounding the Nickerson Mansion was known as McCormickville. Through exclusive historical photographs and visits to surviving buildings, Chicago historian Sally Kalmbach will illuminate the lives of the prominent families and notable public figures who once called McCormickville home.
Tour is approximately 75 minutes and requires standing and walking. Tour goes on rain or shine. Comfortable walking shoes, water, a hat, and sunscreen are highly recommended, especially on warmer days. Please arrive at the Museum 15 minutes before the tour begins.
Sally Sexton Kalmbach is a fourth generation Chicagoan whose family founded a Chicago-based coffee and tea company in the early 1880s, at the same time Potter Palmer was developing the Gold Coast. She has taught classes in Chicago history at the Newberry Library and gives speeches and tours on topics including Chicago’s Gold Coast, the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and prominent families of Chicago’s Gilded Age

Every picture tells a story, but none as haunting a tale of terror like ThePicture of Dorian Gray. This critically acclaimed American horror-drama film based on Oscar Wilde’s 1890 novel, was released in 1945 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, directed by Albert Lewin. The black-and-white film features early special effects and Technicolor frames. Starring George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield and Angela Landsbury, it was nominated for four academy awards, winning the Oscar for Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actress. Join University of Chicago film historian, Tom Gunning to discuss the significance of the controversial narrative’s first adaptation in modern film.
Tom Gunning works on problems of film style and interpretation, film history and film culture. His published work (approximately one hundred publications) has concentrated on early cinema (from its origins to the WW I) as well as on the culture of modernity from which cinema arose (relating it to still photography, stage melodrama, magic lantern shows, as well as wider cultural concerns such as the tracking of criminals, the World Expositions, and Spiritualism). His concept of the “cinema of attractions” has tried to relate the development of cinema to other forces than storytelling, such as new experiences of space and time in modernity, and an emerging modern visual culture. His book D.W. Griffith and the Origins of American Narrative Film traces the ways film style interacted with new economic structures in the early American film industry and with new tasks of story telling. His forthcoming book on Fritz Lang deals with the systematic nature of the director’s oeuvre and the processes of interpretation. He has written on the Avant-Garde film, both in its European pre-World War I manifestations and the American Avant-Garde film up to the present day. He has also written on genre in Hollywood cinema and on the relation between cinema and technology. The issues of film culture, the historical factors of exhibition and criticism and spectator’s experience throughout film history are recurrent themes in his work.

How do we communicate important ideas through visual culture and material objects? How can sculpture, design and architecture act as catalysts for change or opportunities for conversation? In exploring these questions, Driehaus Curatorial Fellow, Kekeli Sumah will host a conversation with two of our Chicago-based A Tale of Today Artist FellowsDarrell McKinney and Luis Rodríguez Rosario, to discuss the ways in which, materials and concepts come together to spur conversations in their art and design practice.
DARRELL MCKINNEY https://www.darrellmckinney.com/
Darrell McKinney is a designer exploring the intersections across design, art, and architecture. His practice speaks to how design can be utilized to explore the complexities of politics, race, and social infrastructure through the interconnectedness of history, people, and places. Currently his work spans spatial design, object design, and social practice.

Though it is called River North today, during the Gilded Age the neighborhood surrounding the Nickerson Mansion was known as McCormickville. Through exclusive historical photographs and visits to surviving buildings, Chicago historian Sally Kalmbach will illuminate the lives of the prominent families and notable public figures who once called McCormickville home.
Tour is approximately 75 minutes and requires standing and walking. Tour goes on rain or shine. Comfortable walking shoes, water, a hat, and sunscreen are highly recommended, especially on warmer days. Please arrive at the Museum 15 minutes before the tour begins.
Sally Sexton Kalmbach is a fourth generation Chicagoan whose family founded a Chicago-based coffee and tea company in the early 1880s, at the same time Potter Palmer was developing the Gold Coast. She has taught classes in Chicago history at the Newberry Library and gives speeches and tours on topics including Chicago’s Gold Coast, the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and prominent families of Chicago’s Gilded Age

Though it is called River North today, during the Gilded Age the neighborhood surrounding the Nickerson Mansion was known as McCormickville. Through exclusive historical photographs and visits to surviving buildings, Chicago historian Sally Kalmbach will illuminate the lives of the prominent families and notable public figures who once called McCormickville home.
Tour is approximately 75 minutes and requires standing and walking. Tour goes on rain or shine. Comfortable walking shoes, water, a hat, and sunscreen are highly recommended, especially on warmer days. Please arrive at the Museum 15 minutes before the tour begins.
Sally Sexton Kalmbach is a fourth generation Chicagoan whose family founded a Chicago-based coffee and tea company in the early 1880s, at the same time Potter Palmer was developing the Gold Coast. She has taught classes in Chicago history at the Newberry Library and gives speeches and tours on topics including Chicago’s Gold Coast, the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and prominent families of Chicago’s Gilded Age

On September 7, the Richard H. Driehaus Museum will open Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany, an exhibition featuring 11 outstanding, ecclesiastical stained-glass windows made by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his workshop artisans between 1880 and 1925. The exhibition captures the artistic range and intricacy of Tiffany’s output, while drawing particular attention to his religiously-themed works as important signifiers of America’s rapidly shifting social, economic, and religious landscape at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. As religious communities responded to these changing norms by erecting new churches, Tiffany worked to leverage his technical prowess, his skilled workforce, and glassmaking innovations to meet the newfound demand. The windows included in the upcoming exhibition, along with a selection of other Tiffany objects, preparatory drawings, and archival materials, highlight Tiffany’s incredible creative and commercial vision and provide a new opportunity to examine him as a key purveyor of America’s modern future. The exhibition will remain on view through March 8, 2020.
To further contextualize the prominence of Tiffany’s religious works and to underscore his impact on Chicago’s art and architecture, the Driehaus Museum has also organized a 14-stop interactive self-guided tour through the city, titled Chicago’s Tiffany Trail. The tour, which will be available via the app Vamonde, will build on themes explored in the exhibition and provide details on the patrons who commissioned the projects, the technologies used to realize the designs, and how each Tiffany work is incorporated into the architectural design of their environment. Highlights include the Chicago Cultural Center, Church of Our Savior, Hyde Park Union Church, the Marquette Building, Macy's on State Street, Rosehill Mausoleum, Second Presbyterian Church, and the Levere Memorial Temple. Together, these sites underscore the ways in which Tiffany took advantage of a critical moment in American history to further establish himself and attain new financial success and notoriety. The Driehaus Museum has also been named a partner site for the 2019 Chicago Architectural Biennial, creating further connections between Eternal Light and the city’s architecture, past and present.
“Eternal Light looks without sentiment at the ecclesiastical windows of the Tiffany firm as rich reminders that America is ever-changing,” said Richard P. Townsend, Executive Director of the Richard H. Driehaus Museum. “Tiffany’s masterpieces tell stories of American entrepreneurship, of places of worship as community incubators, of our country’s evolving relationship to religion. This exhibition is not only about beautiful objects exceptionally crafted, it is also about the ideas and stories behind the windows: progressive technologies, designers, and patrons.”
As the social and economic climate in the United States shifted—driven by the wealth created through industrialization, internal migration following the Civil War, and an influx of immigrants—the nation’s religious views shifted, too. This was, in part, an appreciation for the country’s achievements and a desire to celebrate what many saw as divinely inspired success. By some estimates, cited at the time, thousands of churches were commissioned and under construction at the end of the 19th century.
Eternal Light provides audiences with a rare opportunity to see 11 of Tiffany’s ecclesiastical windows together and to examine Tiffany’s technical and creative approach to distinguishing these houses of worship. Works in the exhibition are drawn from major public and private collections across the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass, and Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. The exhibition also includes a number of works that have not been on public view since the 2016 closure of the Richard H. Driehaus Gallery of Stained Glass at Navy Pier, which housed one of the largest collections of Tiffany stained-glass windows in the nation.
“Creating a Tiffany stained-glass window was a complex process that required the skills of a designer along with many well-trained craftspeople,” said Catherine Shotick, curator of the exhibition. “Louis Comfort Tiffany employed numerous window designers and artists—notably Agnes Northrop and Frederick Wilson—and this exhibition sheds light on the stories of those individuals, as well as how their involvement affected the different window styles produced by the firm.”
Eternal Light has three distinct sections:
The first section, “Tiffany’s Process: The Making of a Stained-Glass Window”, examines the progression of an idea from design to finished product within the workshop’s Ecclesiastical Department. Presenting a number of drawings and colored illustrations, audiences will learn how Tiffany and his artists worked through a commission from its initial concept, to creating watercolor-infused examples that suggest how light will filter through the final, stained-glass product.
Included in this section are pieces by two of the workshop’s leading designers Jacob Holzer (1858- 1938) and Frederick Wilson (1858-1932). Holzer, who served as chief designer at the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company from 1890 to 1897, was a skilled architectural draftsman. His Design for Chancel of Christ Church, Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, New York (c. 1899) epitomizes his skill as both an architect and an artist, showing the depth of perspective necessary to understand the space to be built, while conveying its pre-production beauty. Wilson began working for Tiffany in 1893, and in 1897 became head of the Ecclesiastical Department. In addition to his strengths as an artist, Wilson’s grasp of religious imagery is seen in the Cartoon for Window, Saint Anselm, St. John’s Chapel Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts (1912).
The second section, “Tiffany and the Chicago World’s Fair”, presents Tiffany’s marketing genius and, in particular, the firm’s successful efforts to promote its services to Christian congregations and their patrons. Expanding upon the traditional modes of advertising—such as placements in architectural and design magazines or promotional events when new church windows were installed and dedicated—Tiffany seized on a new opportunity for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The firm designed and built a chapel within its broader exhibition space, featuring elements such as 16 mosaic-clad columns; a 1,000-pound, 10-by-8-foot cross-shaped electrolier; a marble and white glass mosaic altar; a baptismal font; and several stained-glass windows. The goal was straightforward: demonstrate the splendor an individual or congregation could expect to see by commissioning work from Tiffany.
Several important pieces on view will convey to contemporary audiences the ornate and majestic nature of the Tiffany chapel. The first is an altar cross from 1891, commissioned and produced for a client in New York and borrowed by Tiffany for the World’s Fair; standing more than four feet tall. The cross is made of gilt-brass, topaz, amethyst, and glass, and was designed to catch light from nearly every direction. The second is a monumental candelabrum, made in 1893, of bronze and molded glass. These objects are complemented by some of the marketing materials that give insight into the language that Tiffany used to sell his firm’s specialties.
This section closes with the Antependium window (c. 1892-1893), a leaded glass work that closely mirrors the fabric antependium that would have been seen hanging over the lectern in the chapel. At its center is a white and green opalescent crucifix, enlivened by textured, swirling leading, and set against a background in rich crimson and purple glass that conveys a sense of a velvet-like texture. This window, which demonstrated Tiffany’s skill to viewers at the time and possibly designed by Agnes Northrop, was sold off during the bankruptcy sale for Tiffany Studios and, for all practical purposes, lost. It resurfaced in the 1970s, when it was identified and subsequently conserved.
The final section of the exhibition presents ten stained-glass windows and one memorial chandelier, demonstrating—in glass—the incredible creative and artistic capacity of the Tiffany firm’s Ecclesiastical Department.Spanning the firm’s four decades of ecclesiastical commissions from churches across the United States, the windows demonstrate the Tiffany artists’ ability to convey movement and emotion through stained-glass, as well as the Gilded Age’s appetite for decoration. Among the windows included in this section are:
Exhibition Catalogue
Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany will be accompanied by a full-color hardcover catalogue featuring illustrations of each work, as well as contextual and comparative plates. The catalogue includes historical context and commentary by exhibition curator, Catherine Shotick, a foreword by Richard P. Townsend, Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum, and an essay by curator and noted Tiffany scholar Elizabeth De Rosa, on the history, design, and production of sacred stained-glass windows at the Tiffany firms.
Public Programs
In addition to Chicago’s Tiffany Trail, the Museum will present a range of public programs exploring Tiffany and his workshops’ history, the art of glassmaking, and the connections between history and contemporary questions about artistic production and representation. A few highlight programs are listed below, and the full roster of events will be available on the Driehaus Museum website in the fall.

Experience the magnificent collection of Tiffany Studio ecclesiastical stained-glass windows that Milwaukee has to offer. We will visit Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Plymouth Church, and Milwaukee’s oldest church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Built in 1884, St. Paul’s includes the largest Tiffany window ever completed at over 24 feet high.
These large, intricate, and beautifully saturated glass windows are truly magnificent examples of the true artistry and genius of Tiffany, and the wealth that developed the Midwest.
The tour will be led by Rolf Achilles, internationally recognized art and architecture historian.
Rolf Achilles is an art and architecture historian with a special interest in Chicago and its stained glass. Rolf was the founding curator of the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows at Navy Pier and the curator of the current installation of windows in the Macy’s Pedway. He is also an Honorary Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, London, England and was awarded Freedom of the City of London in 2013 as well as the German-American Friendship Award, 2017.

Cathy’s Marston’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë‘s trailblazing novel is a “quietly enthralling classic” that combines theater and dance to tell the coming-of-age story of Jane Eyre. With stirring choreography and an enthralling Victorian design, this avant-garde ballet breaks the mold of the traditional ballet heroine. Dr. Jennifer Conary and Joffrey artists will explore how choreography, stage setting, and music bring this beloved novel to life.
This program is presented in partnership with The Joffrey Ballet and will take place at Joffrey Tower: 10 E. Randolph St. Chicago, IL 60601
Presentation: 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Wine reception following
Jennifer Conary received her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and joined DePaul University faculty in September 2008. Her research interests include Victorian literature and culture, the history of the novel, 18th- and 19th-century British women’s writing, and issues related to gender in the long 19th century.

The City’s flag exhibits important components of our city’s rich history and geography, and it can also teach us about Chicago’s drinking culture. Join historian and Chicago Brewseum Executive Director, Liz Garibay for a discussion on how booze and beer connect to those red stars and blue and white stripes. Learn the history and stories of the individual stars and the collective stripes and discover the important link between our city flag and Chicago’s long drinking culture. Of course, we’ll have a few beers to sample along the way.
Liz Garibay is a Chicago historian and founder of the Chicago Brewseum who has been studying and conducting field research in beer and alcohol history for nearly two decades.

Alternative Truths: The Tiffany Women
Wednesday, October 23, 2019 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Jennifer P. Thalheimer, Curator and Collection Manager at the Morse Museum of American Art, will discuss the extraordinary life of Clara Driscoll and several other female artists from Tiffany Studios.

On September 7, the Richard H. Driehaus Museum will open Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany, an exhibition featuring 11 outstanding, ecclesiastical stained-glass windows made by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his workshop artisans between 1880 and 1925. The exhibition captures the artistic range and intricacy of Tiffany’s output, while drawing particular attention to his religiously-themed works as important signifiers of America’s rapidly shifting social, economic, and religious landscape at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Today Lincoln Park is known as one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods, but in the mid-19th century, the area served as one of Chicago’s original cemeteries. Over the last 100 years, bones from the previous grave sites have routinely been uncovered. Historian Sally Kalmbach will lead the way as you discover the areas macabre history as a vast, windswept burial site. The suggested age is 8 & up; walking distance is approximately 1.5 miles. Costumes are encouraged on this fun family Halloween tour.
Please note:
Sally Kalmbach is a fourth-generation Chicagoan whose family founded a Chicago-based coffee and tea company in the early 1880s, at the same time Potter Palmer was developing the Gold Coast. She has taught classes in Chicago History at the Newberry Library and gives speeches and tours on topics including Chicago’s Gold Coast, the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and prominent families of Chicago’s Gilded Age.

Engage with professional glass artist Celia Hunt as she demonstrates the technique of stained-glass, discusses its history, and explains the materials and methods used to produce a stained-glass masterpiece. Celia Hunt will then demonstrate, from conception to completion, exactly how a stained glass masterpiece is made.
Celia “Muffy” Hunt is an accomplished glass artist who blends her passion for glass with a love of history and nature. Her practice spans hand blown glass, fused glass, stained glass, flameworking, etched glass and jewelry. She has studied glass for more than 25 years with maestros including Jerry Catania at Oxbow Summer Residency, The School of the Art Institute and George Jercich of California Polytechnic University. Her additional course work includes glass enameling and medieval staining at Arrowmont School of Crafts and art classes at UCLA.
Muffy has blown glass with Evan Chambers at Pavonine Glass in Pasadena, CA; at Ignite Studios in Chicago, IL with Aaron Wolf-Boze; at Glass Axis in Columbus, OH with Erin Riley; and at The Firehouse Art Studio in Chicago, IL with Pearl Dick. She is active in civic and charitable organizations in the community, a member of the Glass Art Society, and a museum docent engaging with students, educators, donors and VIPs.
Her one-of-a-kind works can be found in museum gift shops, galleries and private collections around the world. Muffy has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Political Science from Southern Methodist University.

In concert with our exhibition: Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained Glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Driehaus Museum is presenting public programs exploring the ways in which people have remembered wars and commemorated the fallen. Robert Graves’s Goodbye to All That takes us from his early life in England, through the hecatomb of the Western Front as a junior officer, and finally to the ways in which his service transformed both himself and the world around him. In this program, we will look at how Graves, through the medium of the memoir, tries to come to terms with his own experiences of war and how his book stands as a testimony of the new world that emerged from the ashes of the long 19th century.
Alex Revzan received a BA in history from Lake Forest College and a MA in history from Northern Illinois University in the field of Irish History. His main area of study has been the Irish nationalist movement with a focus on the way in which historical memory has been leveraged by the Irish Republican movement. Alex joined the Driehaus Museum in 2015 and is now the manager of Operations and Visitor Experience.

American Commemorative Art and the Sacralization of Memory
The signature event for Eternal Light will examine the development of America’s culture of commemorative practices particularly as it relates to war. The world’s foremost specialist on World War I, Dr. Jay Winter of Yale University, will examine the vital importance of war memorials and the nation’s desire and need to memorialize, remember, and heal. Dr. Winter’s presentation will be followed by noted Louis Comfort Tiffany scholar, and exhibition catalogue contributor Dr. Elizabeth De Rosa, who will examine how the Tiffany firms, in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, were at the forefront of establishing the appropriate way to commemorate war and the loss of life. Sunday provides an extraordinary opportunity to explore of one of Tiffany’s most remarkable war memorial commissions, The Levere Memorial Temple in Evanston, Illinois, with these two renowned experts.

On September 7, the Richard H. Driehaus Museum will open Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany, an exhibition featuring 11 outstanding, ecclesiastical stained-glass windows made by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his workshop artisans between 1880 and 1925. The exhibition captures the artistic range and intricacy of Tiffany’s output, while drawing particular attention to his religiously-themed works as important signifiers of America’s rapidly shifting social, economic, and religious landscape at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

LIVE From the Drawing Room
Thursday, May 14, 8 PM, CDT
We have greatly missed being able to share the Museum with the people who love it and have been working hard to create an experience that would allow us to do just that.
Allow the stunning interiors of the Driehaus Museum to once again transport you to another time and place - now, from the comfort of your own living room.
Celebrated local musician Patrick Donley will play a wide-range of selections from the period on the Driehaus Museum's exquisite Chickering & Sons piano along with some discussion about the music and the instrument.
From Schubert to Joplin, Donley's joyful playing along with a cocktail demonstration and curatorial insights will provide plentiful after-dinner entertainment. It's prime time, Gilded Age-style - we hope you will join us!

PAN: Prints of Avant-Garde Europe, 1895-1900 documents a new era of printmaking for the turn of the century, as well as the desire of the arts and literary journal’s founders to elevate graphic arts to the same level as the academic fine art of its day. PAN, published in Berlin, attracted an international selection of some of the most important painters and graphic artists of the time to fill its pages, such as Aubrey Beardsley, Käthe Kollwitz, Auguste Rodin, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Max Liebermann. The result is a stunning visual arts magazine that today, over 120 years later, continues to have a voracious following that includes Art Nouveau lovers, graphic design enthusiasts, and art aficionados across the globe.

The Chap-Book and William H. Bradley
The third floor Sewing Room will feature a small companion exhibition of five lithography prints from The Richard H. Driehaus Collection by artist William H. Bradley. One of the most successful magazine cover artists of the time, Bradley work was featured many times on the cover of The Chap-Book. Printed in Chicago from 1894-98, The Chap-Book was Chicago’s answer to the art and literary magazine trend at the turn of the last century.

Guided tours are currently offered through private reservations on Fridays, every 45 mins from 11 AM - 4 PM.

• Hear from artists Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi as they describe their work and how they considered the history and architecture of the Driehaus Museum's Nickerson Mansion for their contributions to A Tale of Today: Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi.
The second exhibition in the Driehaus Museum's new contemporary art initiative focuses on two Chicago-based artists, Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi, whose works will engage our expectations of the Nickerson Mansion by responding to the design and history of the 1883 building.
The newly commissioned artistic additions by both artists consider the interiors and architecture of the building, questioning mainstream historical narratives and inviting the opportunity to reflect on the history of a place from a diversity of perspectives.
![](\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419494/zwievgcrzjqq9rxiljwr.jpg\")
Nate Young combines sculptural installation and his signature woodwork to recall the craftsmanship lauded during the Gilded Age while allowing his work to seamlessly blend into the existing furnishings of the mansion. Young's work is a continuation of his exploration of his great-grandfather's journey from the rural South to the urban North during the Great Migration.
Mika Horibuchi, similarly interested in playing optical tricks, will use trompe-l’œil as a conceptual framework to pose questions about representation and museology. One of Horibuchi's installations will revisit the Nickerson's notable collection of East Asian antiquities, which were donated to the Art Institute of Chicago in February 1900.
A Tale of Today: Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi is organized by the Richard H. Driehaus Museum.

After a year of Zoom meetings from the North Pole, Santa is dusting off his red suit, trimming his beard, and tuning up his sleigh for his non-stop journey to the Driehaus Museum. Tell Santa if you've been naughty or nice and take a family selfie with the bearded man himself. Afterwards, join Aunt Holly in the Ballroom. She will lead you in a round of story and song with such cheer that your heart will grow at least five times bigger.

“The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost...”
So reads the synopsis of HBO's new period drama, The Gilded Age, helmed by Julian Fellowes of Downton Abbey fame and set in late 19th century New York City. Inspired by the HBO show, this winter we are featuring \"Inventing the Gilded Age,\" a series of conversations that will dive into the era of the Nickerson Mansion and investigate the birth of the American city as we know it today.
In \"Chicago Goes Shopping,\" we welcome back Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., who will walk us down the State Street of the turn of the last century, to the palaces of retail...like The Fair, Marshall Field & Co., Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., and Wieboldt Stores Inc...that became one-stop shops for the working and leisure classes. Using historical images, Goddard will explore how the department store became an urban phenomenon made possible by mass transportation, acted as a laboratory for the era's greatest architects, and functioned as a new social space for women.

This spring, the Driehaus Museum is proud to present the work of Los Angeles-based artist Theodora Allen in Theodora Allen: Saturnine. The exhibition marks the latest iteration of the Museum’s newest initiative: A Tale of Today, which features work by leading contemporary artists to expand the immersive experience and to shape our understanding of the world through the art, architecture, design, and cultural history of the Nickerson Mansion, the Museum’s home.
Curated by Stephanie Cristello, Saturnine derives its title from figure of Saturn and its historical association with melancholy, often referred to as the curse of artists. Visitors to the Museum will see Allen’s luminous and meditative compositions, filled with a lexicon of snakes, planets, moons, and plant life – motifs that draw from ancient Greek mythology, literature, fin-de-siècle Europe, and the zeitgeist of 1960s California. According to Cristello, “Through these intensely detailed and distilled paintings, we come closer to an experience of understanding the enduring symbols that surround us.”
Allen’s paintings will be exhibited in the second-floor galleries of the Driehaus Museum, convening a dialogue between the rich ornamentation of the Gilded Age Nickerson Mansion and the artist’s interpretation of iconic mythical, natural, and celestial symbols. Alongside its collection of Tiffany glass, pre-Raphaelite paintings, and Art Nouveau flourishes, the unique environment of the Driehaus Museum becomes an essential part of Theodora Allen: Saturnine. “As the Driehaus Museum moves into its next chapter, we are thrilled to recommit to the core philosophy pursued by both the Nickerson family and founder Richard H. Driehaus to enliven the Mansion as a host to art and artists of their time and ours for connection, inspiration and learning,” said Anna Musci, Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum. “Theodora Allen’s work is emblematic of timeless tropes that resonate with the museum and the collection, as well as our present day.”
Theodora Allen is represented by Blum & Poe (Los Angeles / New York / Tokyo), Kasmin (New York), and 12.26 (Dallas). A monograph published by Motto Books (Berlin, Germany) accompanies this iteration of the exhibition traveling from Kunsthal Aarhus (Denmark) and will be available for sale in the Driehaus Museum Store. The Museum will offer exhibition programs throughout the run, including select events presented in partnership with EXPO CHICAGO.

Driehaus Museum today announced it will extend Capturing Louis Sullivan: What Richard Nickel Saw through May 21, 2023. This is a major exhibition of photographs by Richard Nickel, best known for his role in documenting and preserving the work of the modernist architect Louis Sullivan. Focusing on Adler & Sullivan’s Chicago buildings of the 1880s and early 1890s, the exhibition explores the firm’s architecture through the lens of Nickel’s photography, which provides a detailed record of these buildings and, in particular, Sullivan’s signature ornamentation. The exhibition highlights the integral role Nickel played in preserving Sullivan’s legacy—the photographer’s work is all that remains of many of Adler & Sullivan’s major buildings—while ultimately losing his life in an effort to salvage artifacts during a demolition. It features around forty photographs as well as a selection of over a dozen architectural fragments from The Richard H. Driehaus Collection and loans from other private collectors—many initially saved by Nickel himself. The exhibition is curated by David A. Hanks, and the exhibition’s Presenting Sponsor is Northern Trust.
In response to the popularity of this exhibition, the Museum is expanding its public opening hours to include Wednesdays from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and is adding more public tour and group tour availability.

The Richard H. Driehaus Museum announces a day-long symposium to explore important themes found in the architecture of Louis Sullivan and the photography by Richard Nickel that documented the destruction of many of Adler & Sullivan’s most important Chicago buildings. Titled The Art of Architecture: Perspectives on Sullivan & Nickel, the symposium will bring together an array of experts to share their perspectives on topics as diverse as the power of photography, the neuroscience behind ornamentation, and the role, impact, and benefits of preservation on the urban built environment. The event will be held Saturday, October 22, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. All tickets include free admission to the Museum from Friday-Sunday, October 21-23.

The symposium builds on many of the themes in the Museum’s current exhibition, Capturing Louis Sullivan: What Richard Nickel Saw, which focuses on photographs by Richard Nickel— best known for his role in documenting and preserving the work of the modernist architect Louis Sullivan—and which features over forty photographs as well as a selection of over twenty architectural fragments from Adler & Sullivan buildings, many of them pieces initially saved by Nickel himself.
\"Richard Nickel’s relationship to the work of Louis Sullivan was complex, and challenged his work as a photographer,\" said Anna Musci, Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum. \"Ultimately, Nickel decided that the most effective method of documenting his city as it was becoming lost to demolition was through both photographs of buildings and the fragments he salvaged as they were being torn down. While Nickel’s photographs captured the magnificent scale and geometry of Adler & Sullivan buildings, saving Sullivan’s ornament - the art and emotional pulse of the building - was an inseparable part of his effort to record Sullivan’s legacy. Our exhibition--and the upcoming symposium--seek to explore these interconnections.\"
Among the symposium speakers will be:
David Van Zanten, highlighting Sullivan’s developing use of ornamentation, culminating in his design for the Wainwright Building (St Louis, 1890-91). Van Zanten has researched and taught on American and European architecture and urbanism after 1800. His book Sullivan's City: The Meaning of Ornament for Louis Sullivan was published in 2000.
Matt McNicholas, speaking about how ornament affects emotion and experience in the built environment. McNicholas is an architect who has created designs and ornamental details for buildings in 16 countries and on four continents. He is a member of the Society for Neuroscience and holds a Certificate in Neuroscience for Architecture from the New School of Architecture and Design.
A session on the Richard Nickel Committee, which sought to capitalize on Nickel’s work and the issues that he raised to steer a new generation of architectural preservation in Chicago, featuring: Richard Cahan, author of three books on Richard Nickel including the recent Richard Nickel: Dangerous Years: What He Saw and What He Wrote; Tim Samuelson, the director of the Chicago Architectural Preservation Archive and cultural historian for the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs; Ward Miller, Executive Director of Preservation Chicago and, from 2003 to 2011, Executive Director of the Richard Nickel Committee, and John Vinci, FAIA, an architect with extensive experience in the restoration of historic architecture, including Sullivan’s Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room, as well as the design of new buildings.
Also participating will be David A. Hanks, curator of the exhibition Capturing Louis Sullivan: What Richard Nickel Saw at the Driehaus Museum, and David Travis, former Curator of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago and Adjunct Professor at Columbia College Chicago, where he teaches on the history of photography. Alison Fisher, the Harold and Margot Schiff Curator of Architecture and Design at the Art Institute of Chicago, will moderate one session.

Tune in for a fascinating lecture by leading architectural historian, Charles L. Davis II, about the history of the Adler & Sullivan building that began life as the Kehilath Anshe Ma’ariv Synagogue in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, and what it tells us about the lost voices and influences of Chicago’s Jewish and African American congregants connected to the building as well as Louis Sullivan’s legacy.

Driehaus Museum is proud to present Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism, an exhibition exploring the life and work of Hector Guimard (1867-1942), the French architect and designer whose name is synonymous with the French Art Nouveau movement. Bringing together approximately 100 works including furniture, jewelry, metalwork, ceramics, drawings, and textiles from collections worldwide, Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism is the first major American museum exhibition devoted to Guimard since the retrospective organized by the Museum of Modern Art in 1970. The exhibition will run from June 22 until November 5, 2023.
This exhibition was co-organized with Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, where it was on view from November 18, 2022 through May 21, 2023. At the Driehaus Museum, the exhibition was curated by guest curator David A. Hanks, who also edited the accompanying catalogue, and Sarah Coffin, former curator, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
Hector Guimard is best-known for his designs for the Paris Métro, which are so emblematic of the French Art Nouveau style that it was sometimes referred to as “le style Métro.” Representing a radical break from the classical and revival styles of the nineteenth century, Art Nouveau embraced natural forms while integrating architecture with the decorative and fine arts. Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism explores Guimard’s commitment to sharing beautiful, sensuous, accessible designs for both civic architecture and everyday objects with a wide audience, as well as Guimard’s modern entrepreneurial approach to promoting his work through Le Style Guimard branding and his use of mass-production technologies. The show also explores the critical role played by his wife and collaborator Adeline Oppenheim Guimard, presenting new scholarship that underscores her critical role as her husband’s creative partner during his lifetime and ardent steward of his legacy.
“This exhibition tells the full story of Guimard’s career, with a new focus on the role his wife played in promoting his work and his innovative efforts to make modern design affordable, accessible, and a force for social good,\" said curator David Hanks. \"The collections of Richard H. Driehaus and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum hold some of the most significant objects by Hector Guimard in the United States. We are thrilled to unite these objects alongside important loans from national and international collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Musée d’Orsay, to reveal new insights into this remarkable designer and his lasting impact.”
Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism highlights how the designer’s commitment to the Gesamtkunstwerk – or “total work of art” – shaped his life and career, reflecting his desire to incorporate beautiful design in all aspects of urban life, from transportation to large-scale apartment buildings. In his most famous buildings, such as Castel Beranger, Hotel Guimard, and Castel Henriette, Guimard achieved this unity of work by carefully designing and planning every element, from the exterior façades to the furniture, wallpaper and doorknobs within the buildings. The exhibition also includes Guimard’s designs for affordable housing as well as some of his plans for responding to the post-World War I housing crisis.
Extending beyond his work, Guimard applied the concept of integrated design to his personal life as well. He designed everything from his wife Adeline Oppenheim’s wedding dress and engagement ring to their home and Guimard’s studio. On the occasion of their marriage, Oppenheim remarked, “It will be necessary for us to make of our whole life a work of art,” – a declaration manifested in every detail of the couple’s life.
“Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism reveals just how committed Guimard was to exceptional – and accessible - design,” said Interim Executive Director, Lisa M. Key. “And by situating his work within the beautifully elaborate halls and galleries of the Nickerson Mansion, our audiences are promised an exceptionally immersive environment that reminds us how good design elevates our daily lives, a core belief of our founder, Richard H. Driehaus. The exhibition also shares the next chapter in the story of modern architecture, following the work of architects like Louis H. Sullivan, whom we featured in our most recent exhibition.”
The exhibition is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Richard H. Driehaus Annual Exhibition Fund.

The Richard H. Driehaus Museum announces Glass to Garden: Tiffany Inspired Floral Designs, an exhibition showcasing newly commissioned floral design installations from four local floral designers in dialogue with work by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Studios. The exhibition is curated by Elizabeth Cronin, the founder and Creative Director of Chicago’s Asrai Garden—and widely known as one of the judges on HBO Max’s competition program, “Full Bloom”— who has selected and worked closely with each of the florists to create works inspired by the Tiffany pieces they in turn chose.
From Glass to Garden will be on view at the Driehaus Museum (40 East Erie) from November 30, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
A seminal artist of the Gilded Age, Louis Comfort Tiffany is the best known and most widely collected figure in late nineteenth and early twentieth century American decorative arts. Tiffany relied on forms and colors inspired by nature to create a virtuosic array of windows, lamps, vases, and accessories. By bringing contemporary floral installations together with Tiffany objects, the exhibition will demonstrate a new way of seeing these works—taking them beyond their more traditional presentation and vividly connecting them with the natural forms that so inspired their creation. Glass to Garden will feature a total of eight Tiffany works, including vases and lamps drawn from the Driehaus Museum and the private collection of Richard H. Driehaus.
The floral designers participating in the exhibition include Angelica Rivera Varela from Semillas Plant Studio; John Caleb Pendleton from Planks & Pistils; Taylor Amilas Bates from Dusk Lily Floral; and Serena Madrigal from Espinas. This diverse group of emerging designers will draw on their own backgrounds as further sources of inspiration for their designs.
“Nature was Tiffany’s muse,’ says Executive Director, Lisa M. Key. “And so we’re having a bit of fun with this idea in Glass to Garden. Now contemporary floral artists—who work directly with nature—are letting Tiffany be their muse. We’re particularly excited to partner with Elizabeth on this exhibition, given her own work as a floral designer and her array of experiences both collaborating with and guiding others in the field.\"
According to curator Elizabeth Cronin, \"The designers will be using preserved floral and plant material, which is a very new approach to floral design, and also helps to keep the Museum’s historic interiors critter-free. The juxtaposition of contemporary floral artists using a modern medium in a modern design style, inside a Gilded Age home and in conversation with Tiffany's work from the same time period, is exciting for us as designers and we hope will be equally engaging for the Museum’s audiences.\"
This is the first floral exhibition at the Driehaus Museum and the timing—as fall recedes into winter—is intentional to coincide with the museum’s Gilded Gala on November 30 and the start of the festive holiday season. This year, in tandem with this exhibition, the museum will be celebrating a season of light with a festive focus on Christmas, Hanukkah, St. Lucia Day, and Kwanzaa.
About Elizabeth Cronin
Elizabeth Cronin is a floral, retail, and interior designer. A Chicago native, she founded Asrai Garden in the heart of the City’s Wicker Park neighborhood in 1999. Known for its stunning floral arrangements, luxurious fine jewelry, and magical curiosities, Cronin opened a second location in 2018 in the historic Fulton Market district of Chicago’s West Loop. In addition to her stores and consultative design work, Cronin is also the founder and supporter of the Black Florist Fund, in partnership with Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO) and a team of Black entrepreneur advisors. Through donations and sponsorships, Black Florist Fund (BFF) aims to provide worry-free capital grants and other crucial business resources to for-profit Black florists and Black flower farmers across the U.S. The fund was able to raise $90,000 and provide capital to seven Black florists across the US. Cronin has also served as a judge on the hit reality competition show “Full Bloom” on HBO Max.

Driehaus Museum Store Trunk Show
Saturday, December 16
11:00 AM - 2:00PM
Our Trunk Show will feature special vendors selling vintage jewelry, clothing, and other treats and treasures.
This spring, the Driehaus Museum is proud to present the first solo US museum exhibition of Copenhagen-based artist Sif Itona Westerberg, featuring recent bronze and concrete sculptures that draw from popular mythological narratives in dialogue with the museum’s richly-ornamented 1883 Nickerson Mansion. Curated by Stephanie Cristello, Sif Itona Westerberg: Twin Flame, Double Ruin is presented as part of the Driehaus Museum’s contemporary art series, A Tale of Today, in which emerging artists build upon the immersive experience and cultural history of the Gilded Age building to expand our understanding of the world through the art, architecture, design. Sif Itona Westerberg: Twin Flame, Double Ruin is on view at the Driehaus Museum, 40 E. Erie, from February 15 to April 14, 2024.
In Sif Itona Westerberg: Twin Flame, Double Ruin, Westerberg takes inspiration from the Ancient Greek myth of soulmates—a single body that was divided into two parts, fated to forever yearn and search for its reflection. The exhibition title borrows terminology from new age concepts of interpersonal connection, a ‘twin flame’ often described in psychology as akin to soulmates, which Westerberg contrasts with ideals of creation and metamorphoses through the double entendre of ‘ruin’ in reference to either disaster or the remnants of Classical artifacts.
Creating a language of hybrid forms, Westerberg transforms common industrial materials such as aerated concrete into delicate, sensitive surfaces engraved with the retellings of ancient lore. Using material to explore the technological advances of industrialization, as well as the disenchantment that replaced myth in the dawn of modern society, Westerberg’s work offers a deeper understanding of the Nickerson Mansion and the cultural and social ideals of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
Westerberg’s work will be on view in the Driehaus Museum’s Second Floor galleries, and will include a site-specific installation in the stained-glass domed Maher Gallery. The exhibition also includes a gallery of works from the Museum’s permanent collection in response to themes in Westerberg’s work.
“Since its inception, A Tale of Today has provided artists the opportunity to delve into how the decorative and fine arts have influenced visual culture, and the world around us, beyond the institutional context of the white cube,” said Stephanie Cristello, Curator of Sif Itona Westerberg: Twin Flame, Double Ruin. “Sif Itona Westerberg’s work presents the next chapter in this innovative exhibition format, which engages with history while also foregrounding the present, centering the immersive experience of the Museum’s singular architecture and collection.”
“My practice draws a lot of inspiration from archaic mythologies and Classical art, so working in a building brimming with history, ornamentation, and craftsmanship is just extraordinary to me as an artist,” said Sif Itona Westerberg. “The fundamentally human experience that art has strived to express throughout the ages—and the craftsmanship, care, and precision that have resulted in works of art and architecture that have survived for centuries—always gives me hope. I am very grateful for this opportunity to work closely with the Driehaus Museum and Stephanie Cristello to bring the contemporary and the historic into dialogue with this show.”
A Tale of Today, Sif Itona Westerberg: Twin Flame, Double Ruin, is generously supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, the Ny Carlsberg Foundation, and the Richard H. Driehaus Annual Exhibition Fund.

ABOUT A TALE OF TODAY
A Tale of Today is the Driehaus Museum’s contemporary art exhibition series. It takes its name from The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, the 1873 book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that gave the era its name. The series was conceived as an opportunity for audiences to explore the legacy of the Gilded Age from different perspectives and to understand that history’s place in our experiences today. Previous exhibitions were Yinka Shonibare CBE (2019), Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi (2020), and Theodora Allen: Saturnine (2021).

A Tale of Today is the Driehaus Museum’s contemporary art exhibition series. It takes its name from The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, the 1873 book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that gave the era its name. The series was conceived as an opportunity for audiences to explore the legacy of the Gilded Age from different perspectives and to understand that history’s place in our experiences today. Previous exhibitions were Yinka Shonibare CBE (2019), Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi (2020), and Theodora Allen: Saturnine (2021).

This first-of-its- kind exhibition includes a range of never-seen-before jewelry and decorative arts objects from the Richard H. Driehaus Collection alongside objects from the Chicago History Museum, the Field Museum, and the Lizzardo Museum of Lapidary Art, among loans from other Chicago institutions, collections, and private lenders with unique areas of focus. Chicago Collects: Jewelry in Perspective is organized by jewelry historian and author Elyse Zorn Karlin, guest curator of the Museum’s 2015 exhibition Maker and Muse: Women and 20th Century Art Jewelry, and will be on view at the Driehaus Museum, 40 E. Erie Street, from May 23 to September 23, 2024.
Chicago Collects: Jewelry in Perspective opens with a timeline of stylistic periods of jewelry history from the late 17th century to the present. From there, items are organized into categories of collecting interest, such as Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Vienna Secession, British Arts & Crafts, Chicago Arts & Crafts, 19th Century Revival, Belle Époque, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Art Deco, Fabergé, Important Makers, Tiaras, and Mid-Century Modern and Contemporary Jewelry.
Highlights of the exhibition include loans from the Field Museum from the 1893 World’s Fair; a rare piece of silver made by Paul Revere, Jr.; a handwrought silver punch bowl belonging to the Cliff Dweller’s Club, jewelry renderings by Art Nouveau master Rene ́Lalique, a number of jewels and objects made by Chicago’s own Kalo Shop as well as other Chicago artists from the Arts & Crafts Movement, and more.
Driehaus Museum Executive Director Lisa Key says, “Chicago Collects: Jewelry in Perspective continues our commitment to presenting new research and ideas around decorative art, and honors the collecting legacy of our founder, Richard H. Driehaus. The exhibition brings audiences closer to a very personal artform – jewelry—to show how history can add new perspectives to our everyday lives. Audiences will be thrilled to experience, up close, incredible works of wearable art and revel in the artistry of this universal artform. We are pleased to work again with Elyse Karlin, whose expertise in jewelry remains unparalleled.”
Karlin says, “Chicago Collects has a broad thesis that allows us to show a variety of jewelry from across centuries, but what all the works have in common are their origins-- they all come from Chicago collectors. Many of the pieces have never been shown publicly before and they illustrate a number of periods and styles in jewelry history. In addition, the exhibition showcases the work of noted contemporary Chicago goldsmiths. It's been a delight to work with so many wonderful pieces, all right here in Chicago.”

Plenty can be learned by walking Chicago’s streets, but a whole hidden history can be seen in its alleys. Visitors can discover how Chicago became the alleyway capital of the country, dig into the history of urban trash, and see Chicago architecture from a new perspective on this alleyway walking tour. Curator and historian Madeline Crispell will trace a route through the Gold Coast and end at the Driehaus Museum, covering everything from how activists like Jane Addams worked to clean up the alleyways to how a new generation of green alleys can help the city adapt to a changing climate.

Frank Lloyd Wright had a lifelong fascination with photography, viewing it as a hobby as well as a way for his architecture to reach a broad public. Photographing Frank Lloyd Wright is the first exhibition to explore the little-known topic of Wright’s own photography dating back to the 1890s, as well as images by the leading photographers who documented his career. With photos that appeared in publications such as LIFE magazine and Architectural Forum, the exhibition offers insights into how photography influenced public perception of his work. In addition to the architectural photos, the exhibition also includes examples of Wright’s decorative designs, demonstrating his concept of design unity.

About the African American Museum of Performing Arts
The African American Museum of Performing Arts (AAMPA) was founded in 2019 by award-winning television and stage actor and director Harry J. Lennix and TaRon Patton. AAMPA's mission is to study, memorialize, and present works that celebrate the contributions of Black performance to arts and culture from the perspective of African American performing artists globally. AAMPA's ultimate objective is to become a nationally recognized center for African American history and tradition within the performing arts. AAMPA was founded in response to a lack of resources for African American artists of all disciplines to gather, to learn from their ancestors and each other, and to amplify their significant contributions to the performing arts in an environment that centers African American voices. AAMPA's partnership with the Driehaus Museum began in December 2023 when the organizations produced a Kwanzaa Celebration, followed by a one-woman show entitled Tammy McCann Presents: Mahalia Jackson at Carnegie Hall.

In the autumn of 2023, the Driehaus Museum held an open call for submissions, asking artists to identify a material from the Museum, research its history, and produce site-specific responses that connect the fabric of the building to distant shores, traditions, and ideologies. The commissioned works connect the past and present in original and compelling ways, linking different cultures to specific materials and allowing visitors to see the Nickerson Mansion through different perspectives.
An original idea of guest curator Dr. Giovanni Aloi, organized by the Driehaus Museum, this dynamic, three-floor exhibition includes works from artists Rebecca Beachy, Jonas Becker, Olivia Block, Barbara Cooper, Richard Hunt, IOTO, Beth Lipman, Luftwerk, Dakota Mace, Bobbie Meier, Laleh Motlagh, Ebony G. Patterson, Jefferson Pinder, and Edra Soto, working across a variety of disciplines. A Tale of Today: Materialities will be on view at the Driehaus Museum, 50 E. Erie Street from February 7 to April 25, 2025.
Driehaus Museum Executive Director Lisa M. Key states, “It has been wonderful to work with Dr. Aloi, whose own unique perspective on the connection between art and nature supports the concepts of this exhibition. This exhibition explores how materials themselves can be storytelling devices, bridging our modern times with those that came before.”
Guest Curator Giovanni Aloi adds, “For this exhibition at the Driehaus Museum, it was clear to me that I had no other choice but to directly engage with the building’s incredibly rich material essence. I became fascinated with the idea of following materials, tracing the often invisible connections that tie this one-of-a-kind architectural gem to a multitude of historical, ecological, and cultural universes. It was wonderful to steward the creative approaches of this group of artists through this process.”
Exhibition-related programming will include two free community days, plus engaging panel discussions with both the curator and the artists that examine the hidden cultural, economic, political, and ecological histories and networks reflected in the Museum’s materials. These programs will invite visitors to consider the global systems involved in building and decorating the home, as well as the contributions of unrecognized artists and laborers from around the world who played a pivotal role in its construction.
Conceived in 2019, the A Tale of Today series fulfills the Museum’s mission to help audiences understand the relevance of the past—particularly the history of the Gilded Age—through different lenses, and to see the present with new eyes. Past iterations include solo exhibitions of notable contemporary artists Yinka Shonibare CBE (2019), Mika Horibuchi and Nate Young (2020), Theodora Allen (2022), and Sif Itona Westerberg (2024), whose works engaged with the Museum’s historic environment to allow visitors to appreciate the enduring appeal of its remarkable interior art and design.
A Tale of Today: Materialities is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city's artistic heritage and creative communities. A Tale of Today: Materialities is funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

It’s Women’s History Month and Third Wednesday is celebrating with a performance featuring the work of important but overlooked late 19th century female composers, including Amy Marcy Beach (US) and Dame Ethel Smyth (UK). Their popularity in Europe and North America is the musical representation of the immense international efforts to introduce women’s suffrage in the 20th century.
About the Performers:
Duo F.A.E. presents concerts that feature chamber music in its rawest form by joining two voices into one. In 2012, violinist Charlene Kluegel and pianist Katherine Petersen founded the partnership by taking their name from the motto of virtuoso violinist Joseph Joachim and composer Johannes Brahms “Frei Aber Einsam” meaning “Free but Alone.” The duo brought new meaning to this motto, doing all of their rehearsing and concertizing while living separately in Canada and the U.S. at the start of their partnership. Duo F.A.E. has performed extensively across Canada and the U.S. and they have been described as being filled with “virtuosity and maturity.” (Hill and Hollow Music)

Presenting over one hundred works, including sculpture and manuscripts, the exhibition reveals how McEwen forged his own personal interpretation of 20th century modernism, portraying flowers, leaves, and vegetables as individual subjects worthy of their own portraits. Establishing McEwen’s role in shaping new generations of artists, the exhibition also features the work of contemporary botanical artists who continue to shape McEwen’s artistic legacy today. Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature will be on view at the Driehaus Museum, 50 E. Erie Street from May 16 to August 17, 2025.
McEwen’s vibrant paintings balance the scientific detail of traditional botanical art with a modernist perspective influenced by other visual artists of his time. A student of the Old Masters as well as his contemporaries, McEwen developed a distinctive style over the course of his career, painting on vellum and using large empty backgrounds on which his plant portraits seem to float. In his paintings, he forged his own personal interpretation of twentieth-century modernism, portraying individual flowers, leaves, and vegetables as subject matter, “as a way of getting as close as possible to what I perceive as the truth, my truth of the time in which I live.” By encompassing a rare ability to see a plant as more than “just” a plant—to imbue his paintings with a sense of his subject’s “soul”—his techniques have had a lasting impact on botanical artists today. McEwen was a modern-day Renaissance man, whose artistry extended to sculpture, poetry, and most notably, music, where he was a successful folk revival musician and host of the popular 1960’s music show, “Hullabaloo!”
“We are pleased to welcome audiences to the Museum this summer with an exhibition that invites us to approach our natural surroundings with curiosity and wonder and to feature an artist who is lesser known on these shores but who embodies the kind of excellence the Museum celebrates,” says Driehaus Museum Executive Director Lisa M. Key. She continues, “McEwen’s naturalistic paintings will echo the organic forms and ornamentation throughout our historic interiors.At the Driehaus Museum, we are committed to special exhibitions that bring visitors new perspectives and this exhibition hits that mark.”
“The ability to give life and luminosity to a spectrum of emotions is what gives Rory McEwen’s art those qualities that distinguish it from the ordinary,” says Ruth L. A. Stiff, guest curator. “As Rory McEwen conceded to Wilfrid Blunt, his drawing master at Eton, ‘I have never really been interested in botanical illustration per se, but rather in that moment when painting starts to breathe poetry.’ “
Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature offers viewers an unparalleled context to explore McEwen’s pioneering artistic vision. The exhibition presents works by McEwen alongside works by the 17th and 18th century painters whom he studied—such as Nicolas Robert, Pierre Joseph Redouté, Georg Dionysius Ehret, and Claude Aubriet—as well as early illuminated manuscripts and folio volumes drawn from the Mellon Collection, Oak Spring Garden Foundation, and the RoyalBotanic Gardens, Kew. It includes works on loan from McEwen’s family as well as works drawn from numerous private collections, most of which have never been seen by the American public. Loans from the extensive contemporary botanical collection of British botanist and philanthropist, Dr. Shirley Sherwood, showcase contemporary artists following in McEwen’s techniques and styles.
As part of Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature, the Driehaus Museum will partner with local institutions across exhibits and programs, including Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods, Chicago Botanic Garden, the Morton Arboretum, the Old Town School of Folk Music, and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The Driehaus Museum will also be participating in the Magnificent Mile Association’s annual Tulip festival with a special presentation of tulips and a tulip sculpture in the Museum’s garden.
Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature is generously supported by the Driehaus Trust Company, LLC., the Kovler Family Foundation, and Barbi and Tom Donnelley. Additional support provided by Friends of Rory McEwen.
The exhibition is curated by Ruth L. A. Stiff, Curator of International Exhibitions, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (London) and accompanied by a full-color catalogue produced by the Oak Spring Garden Foundation. It is presented in association with the Oak Spring Garden Foundation (Virginia) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew with tour management by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA. Major support is provided by the Gerard B. Lambert Foundation. The Driehaus Museum is the final U.S. institution to host the exhibition, which included the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, South Carolina; the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Massachusetts; and the Society of Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rory McEwen (1932-1982) grew up in Scotland as the third of seven children at Marchmont House, the family’s Palladian stately home, where he learned to draw flowers from an early age encouraged by his French governess, who instructed him in drawing from nature. He was influenced by 17th and 18th-century French flower painters throughout his education at Eton, including visits to the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, and his continued studies at Trinity College, Cambridge. After serving with the British Army, he discovered his passion for art. Initially a blues musician, McEwen toured the U.S. in 1956 with his brother Alexander, recording an LP for Smithsonian Folkways Records and appearing twice on the Ed Sullivan show. Back in Britain, he became known as a guitarist and singer, appearing nightly on the BBC’s Tonight show and produced, presented, and performed on the seminal music program, Hullabaloo. However, from 1964 until his death in 1982, McEwen focused solely on his work as a visual artist, known for his detailed work on vellum with watercolors. His posthumous 1988 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London is considered one of the pivotal turning points in the development of contemporary botanical art, and his techniques have had a lasting impact on botanical artists today. McEwen’s work can be found in private and public collections across the globe, including the British Museum; Victoria and Albert Museum; Tate; National Gallery of Modern Art, Scotland; Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; Hunt Institute, Pittsburgh; andMuseum of Modern Art, New York.

The Driehaus Museum is proud to announce Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade, an exhibition illuminating the volume and breadth of Louis C. Tiffany’s vast artistic production. From the 1890s to the 1920s, Tiffany Studios created a captivating range of decorative lighting fixtures that embraced the technological shift from oil lamps to electricity and simultaneously met the styles and tastes of nineteenth and twentieth century consumers. Drawn from the expansive collections of the Museum and the private art collection of Richard H. Driehaus (now in the Art Exhibition Lending Foundation), the exhibition explores how the artisans at Tiffany Studios used a range of materials—including bronze, enamel, pottery, and glass—to bring Tiffany’s innovative lighting designs to life. Organized by guest curator Alexandra M. Ruggiero, Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade will be on view at the Driehaus Museum, 50 E. Erie Street through April 19, 2026.
Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum Lisa M. Key says, “Many Chicagoans and tourists have seen Tiffany lamps in passing but have not had a chance to encounter them in depth or within a richly contextualized narrative. This is a chance to draw people back to the Driehaus Museum by inviting them to see familiar works in new ways. It is an opportunity for the Museum to highlight a core strength and position as a national leader in the complex storytelling of the Gilded Age and the interpretation of design and decorative arts from this time period. In this case, the exhibition will explore the broader context—from design processes, to materials, labor, and the influence of designers like Clara Driscoll—to reframe the narrative around Tiffany Studios.“
Building on past exhibitions such as Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany (2019-2020) and Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection (2015), Tiffany: Beyond the Shade expands the narrative of Tiffany lamps beyond their iconic glass shades.
Guest curator Alexandra Ruggiero says, “I am thrilled to partner with Driehaus Museum and present the extraordinary range of Louis C. Tiffany’s lighting fixtures with a new perspective. The exhibition features objects that exemplify Tiffany’s remarkable ability to marry innovation and outstanding design, enabling museum visitors a chance to marvel at the materiality and incredible artistry of Tiffany lamps.
In addition to presenting a range of lamp types and designs, the exhibition will include a selection of decorative objects produced by Tiffany Studios, such as Favrile glass and pottery vases, enamel and bronze boxes, and a leaded-glass fire screen. The exhibition also includes noteworthy works never before exhibited at the Driehaus Museum, including a table lamp with an enameled base and a monumental bronze and Favrile glass chandelier. Within the setting of the Driehaus Museum, the exhibition contextualizes the significant output of Tiffany Studios and provides visitors with a look at the innovation, design, materiality, and business of Tiffany lamps.
Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade deepens the natural partnership between the Driehaus Museum and the Richard H. Driehaus Art Exhibition Lending Foundation. By bringing together works from the Museum’s permanent collection and the Foundation holdings, the Museum can offer a broader, richer, and more nuanced presentation of Tiffany’s legacy—one that exemplifies Richard Driehaus’s belief in the power of beauty to inspire. This support deepens the Museum’s role as a cultural steward of the Richard H. Driehaus collection and extends its ability to tell new stories through exceptional design.

ABOUT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Founded by Theodore Thomas in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s great orchestras. In April 2024, Klaus Mäkelä was named the Orchestra’s 11th music director, and he will begin an initial five-year tenure as Zell Music Director with the 2027/28 Season. Riccardo Muti, the Orchestra’s distinguished 10th music director from 2010 until 2023, became Music Director Emeritus for Life at the beginning of the 2023/24 Season. Daniil Trifonov is the CSO Artist-in-Residence for the 2024/25 Season.
The CSO commands a vast repertoire, from baroque through contemporary music. Its renowned musicians perform more than 150 concerts annually, in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center in downtown Chicago and each summer at the Ravinia Festival in suburban Highland Park. The ensemble regularly tours nationally, and since 1892, has made 64 international tours, performing in 29 countries on five continents.
Patrons around the globe enjoy weekly radio broadcasts of CSO concerts and recordings via the WFMT Radio Network and online at cso.org/radio. Launched in 2007, CSO Resound is the ensemble’s Grammy Award–winning independent record label, featuring live performances with world-class conductors and guest artists. Since 1916, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have amassed an extensive discography that has earned 65 Grammy awards from the Recording Academy.
The CSO is part of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA), which also includes the Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Symphony Center Presents, and the Negaunee Music Institute. The Chicago Symphony Chorus, founded by Margaret Hillis in 1957, is the country’s largest professional chorus. Founded by second music director Frederick Stock during the 1919/20 Season, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago is a training ensemble for emerging professionals with Ken-David Masur serving as its principal conductor. Symphony Center Presentsfeatures guest artists and ensembles across an expansive array of genres, including classical, jazz, world and contemporary. The Negaunee Music Institute offers community and educational programs that annually engage more than 200,000 people of diverse ages and backgrounds throughout the Chicagoland area.

The installation will be on view in two galleries on the Museum’s third floor. Curated by Laura Woolley, a memorabilia expert and consultant known for her appearances on Antiques Roadshow and her work at The Collector’s Lab, Land of Oz: Beyond the Page explores the imaginative artistry required to turn the classic children’s story into a beloved movie. Divided into three sections—Writing, Costume, and Production Design—the installation reveals how designers brought L. Frank Baum’s world to life.
Highlights include a replica of Dorothy’s Ruby Red Slippers, an early draft of the script, a prototype of the iconic Flying Monkey costume, a character costume from Emerald City, and a replica of the Cowardly Lion’s Medal of Courage. Visitors will also see an original edition of the Wizard of Oz book, a historic telegram announcing the change from silver to ruby slippers, and a rare illustration of the Emerald City. Families, film lovers, and design enthusiasts alike will find something to spark their imaginations.
Land of Oz: Page to Screen deepens the natural partnership between the Driehaus Museum and the Richard H. Driehaus Art Exhibition Lending Foundation.
This support cements the Museum’s role as a cultural steward of the Richard H. Driehaus Collectionand extends its ability to tell new stories through exceptional design.
According to Cynthia Van Osdol, the President and CEO of the Driehaus Trust Company, “From a young age, the Land of Oz presented a fantasy world for our founder, Richard Driehaus. He found great escape in the purpose and teamwork of its characters, and the Yellow Brick Road held a particularly vivid allure for him. As he expanded his art collection, he acquired texts, costumes, and production design originals from the 1939 film. These included, of course, our pair of Ruby Red Slippers, and a series of brilliant watercolors by Jack Smith Martin which were instrumental in the creation of the film. Equally influential is a spectacular pastel of the Emerald City, with its pair of concentric deco-styled white halos and the white light that radiates from its core. As a champion of late 19th and early 20th century architecture, it's easy to imagine why this piqued Richard's imagination. By sharing these treasures--some for the first time--we hope the public will be equally inspired. \"

This summer, the Driehaus Museum presents Ink & Outrage: 18th Century Satirical Prints in London & Dublin, an exhibition that explores the wit and graphic brilliance displayed by English graphic satirical artists such as James Gillray (1765-1815) and Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) to lampoon civics, society, and culture in Georgian London. The exhibition places original prints in dialogue with plagiarized works by artists in Ireland, evoking conversations about piracy, originality, and reproduction that have become more relevant than ever today. Organized by guest curators Silvia Beltrametti and William Laffan and following its debut at the Irish Architectural Archive in Dublin in 2025, Ink & Outrage: 18thCentury Satirical Prints in London & Dublin takes place at the Driehaus Museum, 50 E. Erie Street, from May 15 to September 13, 2026.
Now ubiquitous in Internet meme culture and modern-day satire, the groundbreaking use of image and text during the Georgian period was a powerful form of storytelling, holding those in power accountable, and fostering bonds between classes and communities. Ink & Outrage: 18th Century Satirical Prints in London & Dublin includes approximately 100 original prints and features loans from The William A. Gordon Library of British Caricature, the collection of the O’Brien family, and the Richard H. Driehaus Art Exhibition Lending Foundation.
The exhibition places original prints alongside plagiarized works made in Ireland, where copyright law of images did not apply and business for replicas flourished. These pirated copies provoked historic debates around authorship and plagiarism that set the stage for current conversations around artificial intelligence, intellectual property, and mass reproduction today.
In the context of the Driehaus Museum, the exhibition presents Georgian satirical prints as a vital precursor to the art, architecture, and ideas that shaped the United States during the Gilded Age. The works reflect the visual and political culture of an influential period in Britain and Ireland that went on to inform American taste and civic life.
Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum Lisa M. Key says, “Ink & Outrage: 18th Century Satirical Prints in London & Dublin is a model for meaningful international collaboration, strengthening the Museum’s commitments to rigorous scholarship, shared stewardship, and cross-cultural exchange. We hope visitors see the trajectory from these early forms of satire to the present day, and the importance of satire as a public forum for debate and connection.” Co-curator Silvia Beltrametti adds, “Caricature is the intellectual vehicle that speaks truth to power in the fastest, funniest, and most piercing way possible. Behind the blasts of color in these prints lie a remarkable copyright story-- free from the legal constraints, Irish publishers could copy original productions from London.”
Major support for this exhibition is provided by the Driehaus Trust Company, LLC.

Step into the sharp, subversive world of satire, past and present, in this panel inspired by the Driehaus Museum’s exhibition Ink & Outrage: 18th-Century Satirical Prints in London & Dublin. Using the exhibition as a springboard, writers and contributors from The Onion (Head Writer Mike Gillis, Staff Writer Rob Knoll) and The New Yorker (Caricaturist Tom Bachtell) will bring the conversation into the present day, exploring how satire is crafted, circulated, and received in today’s fast-moving media landscape. Panelists will reflect on how their own practices echo (or diverge from) historical traditions, focusing on the enduring mechanics of satire, its targets, its techniques, and its cultural impact. Moderated by Colin Barr of the University of Notre Dame, whose scholarship bridges Irish and English history, the conversation offers audiences a unique opportunity to connect the incisive humor of the 18th century with the satirical voices shaping public discourse today. Sponsorship support for this program is provided by Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, University of Notre Dame and Pat O'Brien.

The built environment of Chicago features a dozen variety of bricks and even more brick designs. The Nickerson Mansion was built with two types of brick: Cream City, so-called because of the light color that results from the type of clay deposits used, and Chicago Common brick. As the name suggests, it is widespread throughout the City and was made from clay from the Chicago River. There are many fine examples of brick buildings in the area around the Driehaus Museum, and architectural expert Will Quam will take participants on a tour through some of the highlights, including the Medinah Temple and the Allerton Hotel.

The Driehaus Museum presents free music in the Murphy Auditorium every third Wednesday of the month, when the Museum is open late. Bach’s Third and Fourth Cello Suites are among the most beloved works ever written for solo cello—music that is both deeply expressive and brilliantly crafted. Performed on baroque cello with gut strings, these suites take on a distinctive warmth, clarity, and immediacy that bring listeners closer to the sound Bach himself would have known. From the joyful energy of the Third Suite to the expansive richness of the Fourth, this program highlights the remarkable range and emotional depth of Bach’s writing in an intimate historically informed performance.

For some 300 years, cartoonists have cast their satirical lens on fashion, capturing trends at their most absurd. In this visually immersive lecture inspired by Ink & Outrage: 18th-Century Satirical Prints in London & Dublin, Alex Aubry, Director of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fashion Resource Center, explores the role of satire as a visual record of social mores, tastes, and opinions on fashionable dress. While using humor to ridicule vanity, excess, and eccentricity, the most talented satirists were also keen observers of society. For those who followed them, satirical cartoons also ignited larger conversation around gender roles, class, and morality in a rapidly changing world.

While plenty can be learned by walking Chicago's streets, a whole hidden history can be seen in its alleys. Discover how Chicago became the alleyway capital of the country, dig into the history of urban trash, and see Chicago architecture from a new perspective on this alleyway walking tour. This tour with curator and historian Madeline Crispell will trace a route through the Gold Coast and end at Washington Square Park, covering everything from how activists like Jane Addams worked to clean up the alleyways to how a new generation of green alleys can help the city adapt to a changing climate.

As the Museum’s first artist-in-residence, Fernandes transforms the Museum’s 1926 Murphy Auditorium into a dynamic site for dance, movement, sound, and sculptural installation. Organized by guest curator Stephanie Cristello, Brendan Fernandes: In the Round is part of the Museum’s A Tale of Today series that places contemporary art in dialogue with the art, architecture, and design of the Museum. Brendan Fernandes: In the Roundprograms are free and reservations are encouraged at driehausmuseum.org.
Following its launch in April 2026, this Fall’s In the Round programming brings back Fernandes’ critically acclaimed performance commission Score for the Murphy Auditorium and presents the work of three dance artists in Concerts of Dance, a series of open rehearsals, workshops, and performances spotlighting collaborators from Chicago’s independent dance community, Xenia Mansour, Hanna DiLorenzo, and Kara Hunsinger.
In the Round is inspired by the pioneering spirit of New York City’s Judson Dance Theater and their Concerts for Dance. The Judson Dance Theater was an influential collective of choreographers, composers, filmmakers, and artists in 1960s New York who revolutionized dance by rejecting classical technique in favor of everyday gesture and shared experimentation. Initially staged in the sanctuary of Judson Memorial Church between 1962 and 1966, the group’s early performances offered a radical blueprint for creative freedom. Decades later, Fernandes reimagines this legacy for the present, re-situating its spirit in the Driehaus Museum’s 1926 Murphy Auditorium.
Dancers interact with minimalist site-specific installations developed in collaboration with AIM Architecture (Antwerp, Shanghai, Chicago) and textile-based works byThe Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia), echoing the multidisciplinary ethos of Judson Dance Theater. The installation places modern minimalism in dialogue with the Museum’s Gilded Age ornamentation, creating an interactive stage setting for visitors to experience history, performance, and space from multiple perspectives.
Lead support for Brendan Fernandes: In the Round is provided by Cari and Michael J. Sacks.
Major support is provided by the Driehaus Trust Company, LLC., Anne L. Kaplan, and Gary Metzner and Scott Johnson.
Generous support is provided by the Kovler Family Foundation, Elizabeth Liebman, and Abby Pucker.
Additional support is provided by Friends of Brendan Fernandes.
The Fall 2026 schedule is as follows:
Brendan Fernandes: Score for the Murphy Auditorium
Wednesday, September 16, 4-6pm
Wednesday, October 14, 5-7pm
Saturday, November 14, 3-5 PM
In this critically acclaimed durational work choreographed by Brendan Fernandes, an ensemble of performers from across Chicago’s vibrant independent dance community gather to create a dynamic site for sculptural installation, movement, and sound inspired by the pioneering spirit of New York City’s Judson Dance Theater.
For the culminating presentation on Saturday, November 14, Fernandes is joined by composer and sound artist Alex Inglizian and a group of musical collaborators, who will perform a live score in the Murphy Auditorium as the dancers complete the final activation of the project. Featuring a prepared piano inspired by the experimental compositions of John Cage alongside synthesizers and electronic instruments, the performance creates a rich sonic environment that unfolds in dialogue with movement, sculpture, and architecture.

Xenia Mansour: was, still is
Saturday, September 19, 1-2pm
Xenia Mansour and collaborator Faith Balderrama presents was, still is, a durational, site-specific performance that will be newly adapted for the Murphy Auditorium. Originally created as a ten-minute work for New Dances 2025 on a proscenium stage, audiences are invited to enter, exit, and move through the Murphy freely, encountering the work patiently from multiple vantage points. Rather than a fixed performer–audience relationship, the work creates a porous environment in which dancers, viewers, and the architecture are all in dialogue. Viewers are not bound to seats or a linear narrative, prompting questions: What does it mean to be ‘unfinished’? Is it infinite? What is not ‘there’ for us right now but should have been? And with that, what remains? Diving deeper into these questions and movement vocabulary, the work aligns deeply with the legacy of Judson Dance Theater, Fernandes’s inspiration for In the Round.
After hours | Brendan Fernandes House Dance Party
Saturday, September 19, 8pm
Brendan Fernandes invites audiences to connect during a dynamic evening that blurs performance, sound, and installation.

Drawing from principles of movement meditation, the session supports physical mobility, nervous system regulation, and emotional well-being. Participants experience how movement, like conversation, can foster presence, release stress, and create meaningful human connection. This workshop is intended for non-dancers. This event requires pre-registration.
Kara Hunsinger: Return to Us
Friday, November 13, 1-2pm
Kara Hunsinger presents a solo variation of her new work entitled Return to Us, a live performance examining the psychic and social dissonance of contemporary life under constant digital mediation. We congratulate a friend on an achievement, then repost footage of state violence. We take in news of war, genocide, and climate collapse while presenting images of perfection, productivity, and belonging. Hunsinger’s work interrogates the normalization of such digital behavior and considers the cost of performing stability while everything feels fractured. Tracing an arc from disconnection to reconnection, Return to Us questions how easily we surrender agency to the rectangle in our hands.
Live Filming: Kara Hunsinger
Friday, November 13, 2-4pm
Kara Hunsinger conducts a live filming of Return to Us.

While plenty can be learned by walking Chicago's streets, a whole hidden history can be seen in its alleys. Discover how Chicago became the alleyway capital of the country, dig into the history of urban trash, and see Chicago architecture from a new perspective on this alleyway walking tour. This tour with curator and historian Madeline Crispell will trace a route through the Gold Coast and end at Washington Square Park, covering everything from how activists like Jane Addams worked to clean up the alleyways to how a new generation of green alleys can help the city adapt to a changing climate.

The Nickerson Mansion was built with two types of brick: Cream City, so-called because of the light color that results from the type of clay deposits used, and Chicago Common brick. As the name suggests, it is widespread throughout the City and was made from clay from the Chicago River. There are many fine examples of brick buildings in the area around the Driehaus Museum, and architectural expert Will Quam will take participants on a tour through some of the highlights, including the Medinah Temple and the Allerton Hotel.
