Hairy Who and the Chicago Imagists
Special Screening at the Princess Cinema
In the mid 1960s, the city of Chicago was an incubator for an iconoclastic group of young artists that celebrated a very different version of ‘popular’ from the detached cool of New York, London and Los Angeles. Chicago’s diverse artists followed no trend, preferring a path they ferociously cleared for themselves.
Over 60 artists from in and around the region are participating in a temporary exhibition in a large warehouse and office space at 151 Weber St. South in Waterloo. The Tri-City Stopgap Pop-up Art Exhibition is organized by Fine Arts alumni Mike Ambedian, Sheila McMath, and Nadine Badran.
