Art Chicago in the Park 2006 will return to its spectacular downtown location at Butler Field on Chicago's beautiful lakefront. The fair will take place from April 28 - May 1, in a gracious tent structure across from the Art Institute of Chicago and adjacent to the world famous Millennium Park. Last year's pavilion-in-the-park made a captivating impact on the ever-changing urban landscape of downtown Chicago and was met with unanimous approval and accolades. Plans for this year's exposition will offer visitors and the participating dealers an even greater setting than last year. The double tent structure, approximately 125,000 square feet, will include added dining amenities and designated facilities for lectures, events, and special exhibitions. 2006 will mark the 14th year for Thomas Blackman Associates' Art Chicago and this year promises to be a stellar event. Many returning galleries will be present as well as those participating for the first time. As in 2005, International invitational and Stray Show dealers will be exhibiting under the same roof, offering a diverse and exciting format for all.

"LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN" TO HIT THE ROAD IN MAY FOR NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" is taking its show on the road. The top-rated, critically praised late night show will travel to Chicago to broadcast for the week of May 9-12 (NBC, 12:35 - 1:35 a.m. ET). "Late Night" will broadcast from Chicago's legendary Chicago Theater. Erected in 1921, the classic vaudeville venue has hosted generations of luminaries from Bob Hope, Duke Ellington and Jack Benny to Aretha Franklin, Prince and Beck. Said Rick Ludwin, Executive Vice President, Late Night and Primetime Series, NBC Entertainment, "It's always exciting to take the Conan show on the road -- for viewers, for the staff and crew, and especially for the fans who will be in the Chicago Theater audience each night. We can't wait." Though based in New York, "Late Night" has deep Chicago roots, from the numerous writers on the show who have honed their craft in Chicago at the famed Second City and Improv Olympic theaters to the show's recurring "live" Central Time Zone New Years Eve Countdown. "Late Night" went to Los Angeles in 1999 and did an enormously popular run in Toronto, Ontario Canada in 2003. The show has also shot remotes all over the world, from Ireland, Amsterdam, Sydney and India to the show's most recent and most talked-about trip Conan's recent visit to Finland, which yielded a unique and highly rated hour-long special March 10. Guests and other details for the weeklong Chicago trip will be announced at a later date. Conan will give viewers ticket information when the show resumes first-run episodes March 28. "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" is from NBC Studios in association with Broadway Video. Lorne Michaels and Jeff Ross are the executive producers. Mike Sweeney is head writer. | ||

Friday, May 19 How does design impact our culture? To qualify to participate, we’re looking for your 60-second presented response. Show us. Tell us. Wow us. Sell us. Straight or twisted. Written, memorized or mimed. Designed and visualized, put to music, put to death - any way you want to put it is up to you. The idea is to rock the house with your profundity. Send your response, or description of your presentation, to our judging panel at info@aigachicago.org, subject: SLAM by April 15, 2006. We will select the best 20 entries based on originality, relevance to the membership and our judges warped sense of fun. Judges decisions are final. Each participant will be given exactly 60 seconds to present their Slam response. Then the hook comes out, the microphone power goes off. It’s that raw, er, simple. Would you rather be the slamee than the slammer, come on out and cheer on your colleagues to their 60 seconds of infamy. Schmooze. Relax. Carouse. You know, like designers. Start: 1:00 am
This event will be modeled after the National Conference’s 20/20 Series where 20 designers each get 60 seconds to relay a message (totaling 20 minutes of presentations). We will define a theme and allow a limited number of members to sign up to present. This event will be an excellent opportunity to relax and socialize with members of the community. Start: 10:00 am
