UCT to host “Principles in Motion” Art Opening and Exhibit

In celebration of the close links between innovation and art, entrepreneurship and economic empowerment, UChicagoTech, the University of Chicago's Office of Technology and Intellectual Property, has teamed up with Little Black Pearl, a local non-profit organization, to present “Principles in Motion” Art Opening and Exhibit on Friday, February 12, 2010.

What began as a conversation to fill blank wall space in UChicagoTech’s new offices has evolved into a collaboration to maintain and showcase a rotating and ongoing collection of artwork for sale by local artists. The works are provided by Little Black Pearl, an organization that serves youth and adults in the Kenwood/Oakland, Woodlawn, and Bronzeville neighborhoods on Chicago’s south side.

Featured artists in the exhibit include Cleveland Dean, Steve Dennis, Maxine-Talia Garcia, Cydney Lewis, Ann Patrick O’Brien, Lou Raizin, and Robin Monique Rios. The collection represents the partnership between both organizations which share the same belief that mentoring, entrepreneurship and innovation can improve lives and society as a whole.

The event will take place at the new offices of UChicagoTech, 6030 S. Ellis Avenue, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 12, 2010. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend. This event is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is appreciated.
