The "Other" Art Institute: The Union League Club and Grant Park Public Art

At NSSC, Northfield Locaiton, Departs from Northfield Locaiton:

Experience one of Chicago's most extraordinary art exhibits! Join us for a docent led visit to the Union League Club of Chicago, recently described by The Chicago Tribune as the “Other” Art Institute, and rightly so. Established in 1879, the same year as the Art Institute, this private club has acquired 825 works of art. What’s so special about the collection isn’t just the variety from Monet to RogerBrown, but how they are displayed. Art is in every hallway and every room, even bathrooms. After a delicious buffet lunch at the club, we will adjourn to the south end of Grant Park and walk through the installation called Agora, a group of headless figures that seem to be milling around. Back on the bus, we will ride around and view some of the other wonderful sculptures in Grant Park. Fee includes tours, lunch, and transportation. Departs from our Northfield location.
