Do you live in the Chicago area? Will you be traveling to Chicago before January 9, 2010? If so, you're in luck! The FIDM Museum Claire McCardell dresses seen in today's post are on exhibit in Chicago as part of the Learning Modern exhibition at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Sullivan Galleries. Learning Modern is part of a larger, Chicago-wide initiative called Living Modern Chicago. According to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's website, "the exhibition Learning Modern is the centerpiece of the two-year long citywide program Living Modern Chicago, a series of courses, lectures, tours, and installations exploring the legacy of the Bauhaus, organized by The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in collaboration with the Mies van der Rohe Society at IIT." The Learning Modern exhibition runs from September 26, 2009 until January 9, 2010. The exhibition is free and open to the public, so if you're able to go, drop us a line!
