"Moms and Mimosas on Mother's Day at Swimming Pool Project Space"
Swimming Pool Project Space pays homage to hardworking moms this Mother's Day by rewarding all mothers with free mimosas and hand-sewn corsages during their visit to the gallery.
On view will be "Group Show" featuring artists included in the booth at Goffo's section of the NEXT fair. Swimming Pool director Liz Nielsen was asked to curate this year’s Goffo section, which includes artist-run galleries from the Chicagoland area.
"Group Show" presents works in photography, sculpture, painting, and embroidery unified by irreverent attitudes and motifs that challenge the aesthetic line between craft, kitsch, and impeccably manufactured objects.
Artists participating in the Swimming Pool exhibitions include:
- Daniel G. Baird (BFA, School of the Art Institute of Chicago [SAIC]; MFA
candidate, SAIC, Otis )
- Caleb Charland (MFA candidate, SAIC)
- Mark Dal Pra (BFA, Kansas City Art Institute; Graduate work at University of
South Florida)
- Carly Fischer (BA Honours, RMIT Melbourne, Australia; works in Berlin)
- Steve Frost (BFA, Alfred University New York State College of Ceramics & Design;
MFA candidate, SAIC)
- Lauren Gregory (BFA, University of South Carolina; MFA, SAIC)
- Brent Houston (BFA, SAIC)
- Erin LaRocque (BFA, Western Michigan University)
- Liz Nielsen (BFA, SAIC; MFA, University of Illinois, Chicago)

- Cheryl Pope (BFA, SAIC; Masters in Design candidate, SAIC)
