    Art of Georgiana Gheorghiu to be Showcased at 9th Annual ‘Chicago Art Open,’ Oct. 17-Nov.4










    chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 16, 2006

    The art of Georgiana Gheorghiu (aka Georgianka), a resident of Chicago, will be among the local artists whose work will be on display at the 9th annual “Chicago Art Open”, the largest annual exhibition of Chicago artists under one roof.

    The show will be held from Tuesday, October 17, through Saturday, November 4, in 18,000 square feet on the second floor of the Zhou B. Art Center, 1029 W. 35th street in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.

    The art that Georgiana will display at the show is titled: Time slips through your fingers- onyx and oil on wood, tryptic. This is a tribute to the 9/11 victims.

    The show is open seven days a week. Hours are: 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. There is a $ 5 suggested donation but those 18 years or younger and students with ID are admitted free. The event’s opening reception will be held from 6:00-11:00 p.m. on Friday, October 20. Admission is $ 20.

    Chicago Art Open is a visually eclectic exhibition showcasing the works of professional artists as well as student artists from area colleges and is sponsored by the Chicago Artists’ Coalition (CAC), a non-profit service organization that has championed the cause of Chicago area artists since its foundation more than 30 years ago.

    Since its debut in 1998, Chicago Art Open has been an integral part of Chicago Artists’ Month, a citywide celebration coordinated by Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs in October to bring attention to the city’s rich visual arts community.

    For more information on Georgiana Gheorghiu’s art, please visit http://www.georgianka.com

    Chicago Hotel Packages for Windy City Good Times

    Posted by admin on March 20th, 2011 and filed under Chicago | No Comments »

    Are you in the midst of hunting down chicago hotel packages for a trip you are making plans to the Chicago area? When looking for Chicago hotel packages there’s much for you to think about, you’re going to need to find out where the hotel is found, if the positioning of the hotel is handy for you, and if there are eateries and activities close by which are inside easy access.

    You may also need to know what types of rooms the hotel is offering, what sorts of facilities and services are supplied, and you will often would like to see pictures of the location and room too so that you can get a sample of what the hotel is like. You can spend several hours surfing the web for all of the details you have to make a smart purchasing call about Chicago hotel packages, or you can utilise a single resource where it takes only moments for you to make your package purchasing decision.

    If you’re looking for discounted Chicago Hotel Packages, you’ll find such info reasonably straightforward to find out! What hostels are on offer in the Chicago area and what forms of superlative Chicago hotel packages are you able to gain benefit from? Check out all the fine offerings at places such as the Vacation Hotel Express Chicago O’Hare, the Mannheim Rd, Rosemont, the Hilton Garden Inn Oakbrook Patio , the Hilton Suite Chicago Oakbrook Patio , the Crowne Square Chicago Metro, the Hotel Indigo Chicago Downtown, the Hilton Towers Chicago, or the Hyatt Regency Stylish ! Base your Chicago hotel packages selection on price, on the scale of accommodations on offer, on the comforts supplied, and on the site of the hotel in query.

    Find hostels that are close to things that you would like to enjoy and explore while in Chicago. Accessing one of many Chicago Hotel Packages offered by hotels today takes the trouble out of arranging a getaway or business excursion. Hostels enthusiastic to attract new guests are providing travelers some rather nice accommodations at rates having an important discount applied. Use the Net to find what you seek. Rather than spending hours or even days looking up different hostels in the Chicago area that supply super reasonable Chicago hotel packages, you may be booking the ideal accommodation in seconds through the Net. Chicago is a superb town but for good Chicago hotel deals you have got to stay clear of the Loop. The Chicago Loop alludes to the historic middle of downtown Chicago, and here’s where the costliest Chicago hotel deals are going to be found. For Chicago hotel deals it’s far better to look in Lincoln Park, Lakeview and Bridgeport. Chicago hotel deals can be discovered in the Loop if you’re able to find exciting package deals. There are budget hotels in Chicago and staying in these will save you cash. Nevertheless you do not want to be wasting time on your holiday by spending time on busses and trains but rather be near to the town centre. Chicago hotel deals can be found at the Benedictine B and B which is run by Benedictine Monks in Bridgeport. Other alternatives can include the Villa Toscana, close to Wrigley Field, the Days Hotel Chicago which is a boutique hotel that’s extraordinarily cheap and is allegedly the home from home of touring rock groups, and the Old Chicago Hotel . Finding Chicago hostels deals at these hostelries will mean that you’re situated inside reach of public transport, and just outside the tourist area. The Heart O’ Chicago isn’t in The Loop.

    It’s a motel, situated roughly 9 miles north of this downtown area. Situated in Edgewater, this retro motor lodge shouldn’t be simply discharged. The rooms are not that agreeably decorated and it’s a traffic heavy area. But you shouldn’t let this stop you, this bare-bones motel provides free parking which is a comprehensive treasure and staying here will guarantees a great Chicago hotel deal. It also implies that you are going to be staying close to the shopping in Clark Street and Broadway as well as near to the bar hopping scene.
