A few weekends ago, I was tooling around the south side on a positively beautiful Saturday afternoon: sun, autumn chill, colorful leaves, and . . . hold it, are those gig posters wheat-pasted to that wall?
Those of you who like to post walking selfies to Instagram and Facebook should be on notice: for every photo of the exhibit posted to social media with the hashtag #thefanclubchicago (whether you’re in it or not), Someoddpilot and Public Works will donate $1 to CIVL. Shirts and limited-run posters are for sale at Someoddpilot’s website; proceeds from both directly benefit the venues and CIVL. The exhibit features art from Bill Connors (who created a poster for the Empty Bottle), Whitney Colley (the Whistler), Nathan Hanley (the Promontory), Julio Ruiz-Santana (Subterranean), Ashley King (the Hungry Brain), Alexa Viscius (the Hideout), Charlotte Croy Hudson (Thalia Hall), and Joi Fulton (Sleeping Village).
