CAD: Part 1

On Wednesday "Chicago by Becca" and I went to the Chicago Art Department. To our demise it was closed. Also the phone number has been disconnected. So we sent an email, haven't heard back from CAD yet. However, there is an art walk tonight hosted by CAD. "Chicago by Becca" and I will be going, and hopefully learning more about CAD. Also, I am killing two birds by one stone by supporting a fellow SAIC student and seeing her artwork.

Here is the information on the Art Walk:
