One of the Best Weeks of the Year

Blog-wise, I usually get out ahead of this each year, but it's been an really busy spring. Anyhoo, this past week was one of my most favorite of the year--the week that ends in Columbia College Chicago's Manifest.

It's a magical week on campus--students are wrapping up their finals, seniors are dreaming about graduation, street art and performance art starts to crop up around campus. And we had the added bonus of hot sunny weather almost the entire last week.

The first thing I saw that let me know Manifest was gearing up was this great installation by (don't fret.). Super talented wheat paste artist that Columbia gave a wall to play on. Obviously, he doesn't need to be given a wall. His job is to find walls and take them over. But I think it's a lovely testament to the college's dedication to all forms of art that we invited him to do his thing on one of our buildings!
