Happy Birthday Chicago | Thursday March 4, 7-11pm

“I’m There: A Birthday Celebration for the City of Chicago” is meant to give a celebratory real-time, ground level look at the current state of three pivotal neighborhoods in Chicago- Wicker Park, Wrigleyville and Pilsen. Each neighborhood will be represented visually by a photographer and musically with a DJ from each hood.

The overall basis for the party is to celebrate the birthday of Chicago by giving an insiders look into three neighborhood pillars that shape the unique social zeitgeist of the city as a whole.

Each photographer and DJ collaborated to take unique shots for a one night only photography exhibit that is meant to produce a truly unique and personal journey into their neighborhood and lives as influential artists in the city.

Food and beer: America’s Dog will be providing tasty treats, 404 Wine Bar will be sampling some spectacular wines along with a food pairing and Bleeding Heart Bakery is putting together a cake of epic proportions. There will be a hosted Old Style bar from 7-8, with a donation-based wet bar after that.

Photographers:

Clayton Hauck
Kyle LeMere
Nick Haas

DJs:

Kid Color

Come out and celebrate the birthday of the City of Chicago with a night of art, music, food and of course, Old Style!
