About: Brother Jacob is a proud Chicago native\, blues artist\, radio host\, and cultural preservationist whose performances blend the soul of g ospel with the electric grit of Chicago blues. Born and raised on the city ’s South Side\, he fell in love with the blues as a child listening to W VON-AM’s Pervis Spann “The Blues Man” in the midnight hours. That de ep musical foundation sparked a lifelong calling that would evolve into a unique voice on stage\, over the airwaves\, and in the city’s cultural c onversations. He began his professional journey through the Blues in the S chools program\, performing at the Chicago Blues Festival under the mentor ship of Deitra Farr. Over the years\, Brother Jacob has become a familiar face on the scene\, not just as a guest vocalist or sit-in performer\, but as a frontman building a body of work with his own band and his own voice . His music carries a spiritual intensity\, rooted in storytelling and tra dition\, and driven by a mission to connect\, uplift\, and preserve. Broth er Jacob delivers blues with reverence and revival.

What joins the work is not a shared theme in representation and style but a means of maki ng\, composed of statements that potentially have nothing in common at all - which is exactly the space LATITUDE was made to support. This exhibitio n is a net cast into the vast field of individuals that together make up L ATITUDE Chicago’s diverse community - some who do it themselves\, some w ho have the team do it for them\, some who have donated their time\, and s ome who have donated their resources and connections. Artists that work in painting\, photography\, collage\, analog or digital process .. artists w hose practices are built on personal joy or political justice. Regardless of the “why”\, this collection is born from a mission that holds the d oor open and welcomes a type of multiplicity that can be difficult to acce ss otherwise. A thread spun from the shared belief that access and educati on around photographic “Fine Art” production should come without barri ers. curated by Keanna Boyko\, Deputy Director of LATITUDE Chicago LATITUD E is a 501(c)(3) organization that closes the gap between individuals and their ability to access tools\, education\, community and conversations ar ound visual art.\n\nOfficial Link: https://dice.fm/event/avro67-the-closin g-reception-of-medley-by-latitude-20th-sep-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-ca tacombs-chicago-tickets\nNeighborhood: West Loop LOCATION:Epiphany Center for the Arts - Catacombs · 201 South Ashland Aven ue\, Chicago\, Illinois 60607\, United States · West Loop\, Chicago URL:https://dice.fm/event/avro67-the-closing-reception-of-medley-by-latitud e-20th-sep-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-catacombs-chicago-tickets STATUS:CONFIRMED TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:bd02f44ba63da9a0@chicagofreeevents.org DTSTAMP:20260907T013144Z DTSTART:20260921T130000Z DTEND:20260921T193000Z SUMMARY:Peace Day Chicago DESCRIPTION:Free public programming on Daley Plaza\, the civic plaza at the Richard J.

So named for the affectionate term name for a basement unit\, this is a room that is decorated without taking its architecture out of mind. The materials are in dialogue\, though some times they stand to contrast one another. A basement dwelling isn’t ofte n the most desirable\, but it has the ability to be a sanctuary — intima te\, and free from the distractions of the busy world above. Here\, the ar twork has become like furniture\, or roommates. A painting that feels like the centerpiece above the mantle. Tile and ceramic work brings to mind a bathroom. But they hang on the wall\, freeing up our real estate. Out of o ur way\, they don’t impose themselves but are nevertheless a treat for t hose who stop for more than a glance. For the length of the exhibition thi s is their home. Guest curated by Rudi Szilvasy\, featuring work by Avery Booth\, Jeremy Carter\, Davee Easterly\, Edwin Hartlove\, Lesley Jackson\, Haylie Jimenez\, Lee Mike Romero\, Danny Rosa\, and Jessica Zawadowicz. R udolf Szilvásy (b. 2000\, San Francisco) is a multi-disciplinary artist. He has exhibited work in Portland\, OR\, Co. Clare\, Ireland\, and Chicago \, IL. He holds a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art.\n\nOffici al Link: https://dice.fm/event/ryrexq-the-opening-reception-of-garden-apar tment-by-rudi-szilvsy-27th-sep-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-catacombs-chic ago-tickets\nNeighborhood: West Loop LOCATION:Epiphany Center for the Arts - Catacombs · 201 South Ashland Aven ue\, Chicago\, Illinois 60607\, United States · West Loop\, Chicago URL:https://dice.fm/event/ryrexq-the-opening-reception-of-garden-apartment- by-rudi-szilvsy-27th-sep-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-catacombs-chicago-ti ckets STATUS:CONFIRMED TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ae5e847d60716c08@chicagofreeevents.org DTSTAMP:20260907T013144Z DTSTART:20260928T153000Z DTEND:20260928T163000Z SUMMARY:Tummy Time for Babies DESCRIPTION:An introduction to story time for babies featuring stories and songs specifically for this age group.

About: One of the busiest blues outfits in Chicagoland\, the Smiley Tillmon Band is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There’s an obviou s reason why the veteran guitarist’s booking schedule is so jam-packed: Smiley knows how to have a good time and makes sure his audience does too. After 65 years on the local blues scene\, Tillmon serves up the blues and soul standards that people never seem to stop craving\, his rich vocals a nd fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right. B orn Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County\, Georgia\, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel\, country\, and a little blues. His mother moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten\; there he was exposed to calyps o music\, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guit ar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B singer Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats\, a calypso-oriented band\, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid the Af ro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established himself on the blues circuit\, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson\, Denise L aSalle\, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1 977. Upon his 2007 retirement\, Smiley reverted to full-time musical statu s. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko\, and they’ve been insepara ble onstage ever since.

So named for the affectionate term name for a basement unit\, this is a room that is decorated without takin g its architecture out of mind. The materials are in dialogue\, though som etimes they stand to contrast one another. A basement dwelling isn’t oft en the most desirable\, but it has the ability to be a sanctuary — intim ate\, and free from the distractions of the busy world above. Here\, the a rtwork has become like furniture\, or roommates. A painting that feels lik e the centerpiece above the mantle. Tile and ceramic work brings to mind a bathroom. But they hang on the wall\, freeing up our real estate. Out of our way\, they don’t impose themselves but are nevertheless a treat for those who stop for more than a glance. For the length of the exhibition th is is their home. Guest curated by Rudi Szilvasy\, featuring work by Avery Booth\, Jeremy Carter\, Davee Easterly\, Edwin Hartlove\, Lesley Jackson\ , Haylie Jimenez\, Lee Mike Romero\, Danny Rosa\, and Jessica Zawadowicz. Rudolf Szilvásy (b. 2000\, San Francisco) is a multi-disciplinary artist. He has exhibited work in Portland\, OR\, Co. Clare\, Ireland\, and Chicag o\, IL. He holds a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art.\n\nOffic ial Link: https://dice.fm/event/yodq9x-the-closing-reception-of-garden-apa rtment-by-rudi-szilvsy-13th-dec-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-catacombs-chi cago-tickets\nNeighborhood: West Loop LOCATION:Epiphany Center for the Arts - Catacombs · 201 South Ashland Aven ue\, Chicago\, Illinois 60607\, United States · West Loop\, Chicago URL:https://dice.fm/event/yodq9x-the-closing-reception-of-garden-apartment- by-rudi-szilvsy-13th-dec-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-catacombs-chicago-ti ckets STATUS:CONFIRMED TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:d95a7c2d2b27d931@chicagofreeevents.org DTSTAMP:20260907T013144Z DTSTART:20261215T200000Z DTEND:20261215T210000Z SUMMARY:Come Play Chess with Us DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of: teachbesideme.com Come and join us at the Ch icago Bee Library with facilitator eMadeline Morgan starting on Tuesday\, April 7\, 2026\, from 2pm to 3pm!
