Susan Aurinko, Lisa Goesling and Sally Metzler at ULCC
Opening ULCC
It is an incredible honor to exhibit my art in the Union League Club of Chicago's third floor gallery. Being surrounded by so many people that I care deeply about made it an even more amazing experience! A big THANK YOU goes out to Susan Aurinko, Sally Metzler, Gerould Kern and the entire ULCC Art Committee for making this happen.
The Union League Club of Chicago not only supports cultural institutions, it has developed its own cultural significance. The Club supported the establishment of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, the Harold Washington Library and many other local cultural destinations. Its commitment to culture is further evident through its art collection, its cuisine and its programming. One of Chicago's oldest and most important private collections, the Club's museum-quality art collection is the reason the Chicago Tribune named it “The Other Art Institute in Chicago.”
There are nearly 800 works in the Club's collection which represent more than 150 years of art making in America. The collection features a range of art movements, styles, and subjects, from traditional to contemporary art, and it includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, watercolors, prints, photographs, and decorative arts. The art collection is one of the oldest and most important private collections of American art in the Midwest, and it has one of the best collections of Illinois art.
ULCC offers group tours led by Union League Club Docents. They are available by advance reservation, group tours minimum charge is $250 for the first 25 guests, after that the cost is $15 for each additional person. (312-435-5942) or artdirector@ulcc.org
