The arts—music, theater, drawing and painting—are powerful tools for making sense of the world. What happens to our brains on art?

In the 1950s, suffragist and philanthropist Katharine Dexter McCormick had an idea for a public garden. It would be no ordinary garden—and she was no ordinary woman.

"Sunday in the Park with George" was first produced on Broadway in 1984, 100 years after Seurat began his most famous painting.

On Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday, a communications editor dives into that 'other reason' she loves Seurat’s painting.

Though called "Twilight," there is no hint of the approaching night in this painting. The landscape is so vivid and intense that it’s tempting to call it a sunscape.

Join us as we take a closer look at this exuberant work by artist Hale Woodruff.

The adventure continues! 🐧🐧
This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3) 👇

The Hudson River School sought to inspire in viewers an awe of nature. For these American artists, landscape painting reflected a belief in the spiritual power possessed by the natural world.

Enjoy this selection of 19th-century paintings by artists of the Hudson River School.

@BarringtonHS220 Sculpture students have been experimenting with resin and mold making.  Student Paul L. cast his hand by creating an alginate based mold.  Plans are in the works for a larger piece due to this success; stay tuned. @220Arts @beattyart
