HCL Fall Aperitivo
Gala/Party for High Concept Laboratories NFPOct 27, 2023 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Our Fall Aperitivo is an event where friends, artists, and the community can come together for a fun evening to support the continued success of High Concept Labs. We are excited to ignite a fresh wave of support for HCL now and into 2024.
Indulge in Aperol Spritzes and delectable Italian nibbles to support High Concept Labs’ mission to make experimentation, risk taking, and exchange possible for artists across disciplines. Wander throughout our studio space, and the fourth floor of Mana Contemporary, to discover artistic interventions and activations. Enjoy performances by HCL Artists in Residence and alumni. Dive deeper into experimentation with our pop-up Soft Noise Skill Share workshop, curated by Meredith Haines, where you can try your hand at manipulating the nuances of sound. See if you can find the mesmerizing soundscape, created by Regina Martinez, tucked away in an unexpected location.
And, of course, don't miss out on our silent auction, where you can bid on exceptional items and experiences. All proceeds will support HCL's mission of creating accessible residency programs that contribute to the vibrancy of Chicago’s artistic community.
