CREATING CONNECTION CONVERSATION SERIES
How well do you know your fellow CSI members' work?
Have you checked out fellow member profiles in the directory?
If you haven't, we strongly encourage you to do so!
CSI Indoor Exhibitions Committee launches a collection of conversations between CSI members. This series will feature artist-to-artist talks recorded on Zoom, a unique and timely format, and integrated into the Member Directory. It will provide an opportunity to make personal connections with your fellow artists, network, and promote you and your art in a supportive, virtual environment.

Outdoor Works
The Newest Addition to the Chicago Tree Project!: Nestful, 2021, a collaboration between CSI's president, Janet Austin, and 3D4D's Programming Coordinator, Emily Moorhead-Wallace.
190 reclaimed and repurposed wood birdhouses in a 100-year-old oak tree in Chicago's Lincoln Park. The birdhouse sculpture supports increased biodiversity, reflecting the city’s varied residents. The artists hope Nestful will provide shelter over the winter of 2021 and they look for family nesting next spring and for many springs to come.
