Hello Beautiful!
Hello Beautiful!: The Curated Series

The inspiration for The Curated Series is to mimic the tradition of group art shows, connecting artists by a larger concept. The twist is that we provide the concepts for Chicago artists and curators to choose from. Listen to what Chicago artists did with the theme, “Games People Play.”
