October is Artist's Month in Chicago! We're celebrating close to home with a show of local artists. Cyd Smillie will be showing three oil paintings tracing the surrender of the body to the landscape. All artwork will be for sale and is on view for the month of October in the building on the corner of Elston and Berteau. It's free to come by and see 10 different artists' views of the beautiful world we live in.

If you missed the warm and wonderful opening on Friday you can still stop by on week-ends through the month of October to see the show. Art In My Back Yard has invested in better lighting and the space is the best yet. Thanks again to Jackie Kazarian and Liz Mills.
