July 12, 2009 Chicago's own Bach and Beyond performed Mendelsohn's incidental music to Shakespear's, "A Midsummer's Night Dream" in the 6th floor ballroom of the DANK HOUSE. To add color and form to the stunning performance local and international artists including Cyd Smillie presented artwork inspired by the play (see example -"Puck and Oberon Amused by Fools")

The collected artwork continues to be on exhibit in the Scharpenberg Gallery through August. The gallery is open on Saturdays from 11 to 3 or by appointment.
