CELEBRATING CHICAGO’S LOCAL CARTOONIST/COMICS ARTISTS

EXHIBITION :: March 8 through 29, 2025

OPENING Reception ::
Release Party! / Saturday March 8, 7:00 - 10:00 pm

JOURNALS ON SALE :: Agitator Comics! Volume 5 will be sold throughout the exhibition. Volume 5 is our first volume with a theme. This year we are dealing broadly with “Health,” something that affects us all.

Contributing Artists
Andrea Kaspryk, Gretchen Hasse, Whitney Wasson, Meredith Thomas, Michael Abcede, Allison Carol Schmocker, Mike Triplitt, Connie Gao, Atticus Ybarra

Use the gallery as an OPEN WORKSPACE; bring your art (make new work or continue projects from previous weeks).  Every session begins with a DEMO provided by a lead artist (an Agitator Member or guest artist) that will focus on a specific art material or process. Then work on your art, ask questions, give & receive feedback. This is a great opportunity to workshop your ideas and get input as you develop existing or new pieces.
