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

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 Roger
Brown, 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.
