Art Under the Stars
Join us for an alluring night under the stars! ArtReach is inviting you to an exclusive rooftop dinner on the beautiful roof deck of Lillstreet Art Center.  

Featured Chef: Spero Botsis

Art Under the Stars will feature the head chef of Red Lion Pub, Spero Botsis who has spent the last ten years in local kitchens, working alongside chefs such as Enoch Simpson, Aaron Lirette, Rob Levitt, and Michael Altenberg. In this time Spero developed a foundation of classical French cuisine and a personal style focused on technique and simplicity. Spero's philosophy revolves heavily around supporting both the environment and the little guy (that's ArtReach).

Local Craft Beer from Begyle Brewery and Fine Wine

Handmade Ceramic Plates

Guests will receive a one-of-a-kind handmade ceramic plate made by Lillstreet ceramicist Kyle Hendrix, on which dinner can be served.  Kyle completed his BFA in Ceramics and Art Education at the University Wisconsin-Whitewater. Kyle was a ceramic workshop assistant at  Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado and was an artist in residence at the Cub Creek Foundation in Virginia. Kyle's work now incorporates a variety of clay bodies and firing atmospheres, focusing mainly in atmospheric soda firings.

Art Under the Stars will benefit ArtReach at Lillstreet.

ArtReach's mission is to bring art programming to promote creativity and community for Chicagoans lacking access to the arts. We serve more than 2,000 people each year with art programs at schools, residential centers for the elderly and adults with disabilities, community centers, and social service agencies. For 25 years we have inspired people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, create, and engage through artistic expression. Art Under the Stars, will benefit our program at True to Life. The True to Life Foundation is committed to empowering Chicago communities through the operation of youth and family programs like The World of Ceramics workshop provided by ArtReach.

Please join us for a joyous summer evening of art under the stars and help spread your love for the arts to individuals who have limited access to them! But hurry, tickets are very limited!
