“Hidden Art: Behind the scenes” at the Art Institute-Chicago (AIC), April 2026. Quite a bit of wonderful art is in storage and not currently on view at AIC. We’d like to arrange this behind the scenes viewing. The limit is 18 people and we have to give a two weeks-notice. Is there anyone interested? I’m out of the country until April 14th but until I can find another person to arrange this, email Lourdes lsguerr4@gmail.com, with your name and what artist you’d like to see.

Pot-luck General Meeting February 22, 2026, 2:00pm Lots of people coming so a new location will be announced soon!

The CWCA is seeking volunteers to help as we grow.
