Our friends at the Floating Museum are hosting free cultural programs in Southeast Chicago starting Aug 2nd!

These events are a part of their Summer on the River programing, which is part of their overall exhibit River Assembly. The project has transformed an industrial barge into a mobile gallery filled with art crates displaying work created by collaborating artists, institutions, and organizations from our own neighborhoods. The barge will travel from Kindra Towing here in the Southeast and make its first appearance at Park 571 in Bridgeport from August 7–13. Join us for one of the programs next week to kick off the festivities!
