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.

Chicago Cultural Center and Millennium Park Tours

I had to make this photo extra large - it's the Tiffany stained glass dome in the CCC.  Took a tour to start our morning in this magnificent building - then listened to a West African Dance orchestra - check them out below.

After this lunch hour concert, we headed on over to Millennium Park to walk among the sculptures and fountains - folks had fun playing in the water.

First Urban Culture to Chicago

A look back at the students on last year's trip - train traveling, Chess Records, the Chicago Cultural Center's Tiffany Dome, and Millennium Park.  Looks like fun?  Professors Lawlor and Hamilton are getting ready to take another eager group.
