now through 5th - Deadline for the Open Call for Entry for "Rhythm" the theme for the Wharton Esherick 30th Annual Juried Woodworking Exhibition From the Wharton Esherick Museum website: "we invite you to think about the rhythms that shape your creative practice. How do the rhythms of life – whether the daily movements, from waking to sleep, or the larger rhythms of shifting seasons or other cycles – show up in your work? Does making artwork help you capture rhythms, or keep you “on time”? Are there specific rhythms that you center in your creative work? What visual or material rhythms speak loudest through the works you create? We encourage applicants to think about this idea broadly, and hope you’ll submit entries across the spectrum of approaches to this theme, from literal to interpretive." 8th - South Suburban Chiselers/Illiana Woodturners monthly meeting - South Holland, IL 9th - Chicago Woodturners Monthly Meeting - Arlington Heights, IL website 11th - Hickory Hills Woodworkers monthly meeting - Orland Park, IL website
