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 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.

Millennium Park



Susan orchestrated a wonderful self guided tour of Millennium Park Thursday morning. What a beautiful day we had to walk in the park and play in the fountain. Here's a sample.

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.
