This exhibition is co-curated by Tricia Van Eck and Nathan Abhalter Smith and has traveled from 6018North, an exhibition space considered Chicago’s home for experimental arts and culture. Living Architecture was developed with support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. The current presentation of Living Architecture is a collaboration between 6018North and LCA, sponsored by NIPSCO.

First Friday attendees will want to explore Jamiah Calvin's The Healing, which ends November 2. As an artist, Calvin uses his art to reflect self-healing while yet striving for peace and tranquility in his own life. His work displays vulnerability, flaws, imperfections, pain; but in all things the complex beauty of human nature. This exhibition is on display in the NIPSCO Art Education Studios.
Dorothy Graden
Intermittent Manifestations
Attendees can also enjoy the work of Dorothy Graden in Perceived Realities, on display in the NIPSCO Art Education Studios. Graden’s unique paintings are inspired by time spent hiking through the mountains and deserts of the American Southwest while studying ancient petroglyphs and prehistoric rock paintings.
Those interested in a more in-depth look at Living Architecture are also invited to attend two free events on November 9. From 11:00 AM to noon, LCA will host a curator-led tour of the exhibition. Between 1 PM and 4 PM, families are invited to the center for a Family Day featuring age-appropriate interpretive tours and onsite artmaking.
