WELCOME

Welcome to the Urban Culture course at Avila University created by Susan Lawlor and Dotty Hamilton.  We travel with our students to great cities to explore art museums, engage with the architecture, study the local film and music venues, and experience the ethnic enclaves as a way to learn about the culture of urban spaces and the interaction of art and environment.  It's a fun, intense learning environment.

Chicago Cultural Center

Touring the Chicago Cultural Center - amazing architecture and history.  At one time, a public library; now a center that provides year round free cultural events in art, music, dance, and film to the public seven days a week.  We were able to view the two beautiful stained glass domes, including the largest Tiffany stained glass dome in the world.  The are rotating art exhibits - as you can see from some of the ceramic statuary and mixed media light and color exhibit below.
