The Old Town Triangle Art Center 
is proud to present Caffeine IX and Chicago Portfolio 
In keeping with the Chicago Artists Month theme celebrating The City as Studio, this joint exhibition highlights Chicago as a concept, a gathering of ideas put into action, by a people who are fluid, in constant transition, resourceful, original, and all sharing the backdrop of the city as their studio.

Caffeine IX features works by the Artists Breakfast Group (ABG), a networking and support group for Chicago’s professional artists to gather together sharing information, technical advice, camaraderie and good conversation.

Joining ABG is the Chicago Society of Artists, which is introducing its first portfolio of prints, appropriately titled Chicago, curated by educator and internationally known printmaker Rene Arceo.
