Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespeare!

Dear Friend,

I have two works and am co-curator of his exhibit at Concordia University,
"Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespeare: As They Like It."

The opening reception is November 10th, 4 to 6 PM, and I hope you
can come see the show and say hello to friends of the Bard.

It features work that touches on Shakespeare's plays, poems, characters,
etc. by 22 talented Chicago Artists.

Hope to see you there.

Robert
