Acts of Kindness: The Gift Project
How do we perform acts of kindness for our communities and ourselves? What inspires a stranger to be kind to another? Part of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's A CALL TO CONNECT series that works to acknowledge loneliness and create opportunities to connect through shared arts experiences, fostering a sense of belonging for participants, this Capstone class will create unconventional collaborations inside and outside of SAIC, considering careful and caring ways to work with each other and other members of our community in the city of Chicago. What motivates someone to step out of their bubble and go out of their way to help a person they don’t know?
Acts of Kindness: The Gift Project is a community fundraiser and pop-up gallery presentation with free Chinese and Mediteearn Food, cash bar, DJ, Electronic Chamber Choral Music Band.
Funded by Project UnLonely and Jeremy Nobel, this event brings together 15 students who have each chosen a community member whose contributions often go unseen to honor. Each student has made an art piece inspired by their community member to honor who they are and their work and to make the unseen seen. Additionally, to highlight an organization that often supports marginalized and unseen community members, we will be holding a fundraiser for Howard Brown Health and The Trevor Project with a pay-what-you-will entry and silent auction as part of the event. For one night only, come see the unseen in a pop-up gallery presentation honoring local community members, and come spread your own Act of Kindness, helping raise funds for Howard Brown Health, The Trevor Project and AIDS FOUNDATION CHICAGO.
