Chicago’s historic Fine Arts Building (410 S. Michigan Avenue) is thrilled to announce Mayor Brandon Johnson has proclaimed Friday, October 13 as Fine Arts Building Day in Chicago “in recognition of [its] milestone 125th anniversary” and to “encourage all residents to support this historic landmark.” The full Mayoral Proclamation is available at fineartsbuilding.com/mayoral-proclamation. The Fine Arts Building is hosting a free public celebration on October 13 from 5-9 p.m. that activates all ten floors of this Chicago Landmark, an artist haven since its founding in October 1898. Programming will include a free concert in the Studebaker Theater from Dr. Yulia Lipmanovich, a distinguished concert pianist and piano teacher based in the building, who will be recreating part of the original piano recital setlist that opened the Studebaker 125 years ago. Advance registration for the 7:30 p.m. concert is recommended by visiting fineartsbuilding.com/events/125. Additionally, guests will be able to visit new historic exhibits Art Alone Endures and Staging Ground on the 5th Floor, which offer “windows into history,” sharing stories of the artists and companies that have called the Fine Arts Building home over the past 125 years.
