154

Four Chicago artists—Mike Genovese, Erik DeBat, Joe Compean, and Kingdom Kilpatrick—will
showcase their newest works at the innovative “The Insider Art Show” at 154 W. Hubbard
on April 26th through April 29th during the weekend celebration of Art Chicago 2007.

The art show will also celebrate the sneak-preview opening of 154 Lofts On West
Hubbard, a classic timber-beam loft conversion being developed by Foxford Development
and marketed exclusively by Jameson Realty Group in the River North neighborhood.

The Insider Art Show will take place at 154 West Hubbard, just footsteps from Art
Chicago, an international art fair taking place at the Merchandise Mart in conjunction
with ARTropolis.

The gala VIP preview for The Insider Art Show opens on Thursday April 26th from
6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will be sponsored and served by August Hill Winery. Hours
for other show dates are: Friday, April 27th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, April
28th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 29th from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The artists have shown their work in professional galleries, public spaces, and
alternative art spaces, and are always on the lookout for exciting new ways and
environments to exhibit their art. “As an alternative art display space, The Insider
Art Show, fits this plan,” said DeBat.

At the opening night gala, August Hill Winery will display its private-label wines
and gift packages. Founded in 2002, August Hill Winery is owned by Sean Ginocchio
and Mark and Teri Wenzel, who all share a passion for producing and promulgating
handcrafted wines.

Located in Peru, Illinois on land that has been in the winemaker’s family since
the 1800s, the 3-acre vineyard and winery stands atop a bluff overlooking the Illinois
River Valley. www.augusthillwinery.com.
