This is not your run-of-the-mill art show. No white walls. No light wine sipping from small, easily cracked plastic cups. No strange looks. No pretentious conversations on subject matter you have no clue of the meaning. No absurdly ridiculously priced artwork. This is an Art Show Gone Wild! Imagine an art experience you actually can have ...wait for it ...FUN!! Yes, you read that correctly ...good, old-fashion FUN! And, you can actually purchase a great work of art for about the cost of a nice dinner date (the best part is, the artwork you can enjoy forever, while the meal can be hit-or-miss)! Come for an unforgettable evening of visual art, live music and entertainment brought to exclusively by Jaccola and The Metropolitan Club of Chicago. Live music by Skip Class and The Dropouts. Jaccola will be revealing a new series of work exclusively at the event. If the above isn't enough reason to come, please read the "Frequently Asked Questions" section ...hint, hint. If you come "Dressed to Impress" (see below), you will not be disappointed!
