Art on My Mind A Chicago Critics Table Public Salon Series (Nov 15)

Join us for a two-day public salon inviting writers, curators, artists, and cultural workers to engage with the ideas and reflections of the 2025 Chicago Critics Table cohort. Designed by this cohort’s facillitator Tempestt Hazel, Art on My Mind will take the form of an open studio for writers. Drawing from the essay and book of the same name, these gatherings take on bell hooks’ call for us to deeply involve ourselves in visual culture and the politics of seeing, in community and conversation with one another.

All APL programs are free and open to the public. To help us continue to provide these programs and build a hub for arts & culture on the South Side, we appreciate donations of all sizes. Your support sustains the rich ecosystem of artists that make the Arts Block so vibrant. To make a donation, please visit our giving page.
