Chicago leapt into its final month of summer with a splash of paint during the vibrant art exhibit, Art Alliance:<br />
The Provocateurs. From July 31 to August 4, Block 37 at 108 N. State St. hosted Art Alliance: The Provocateurs,<br />
an art exhibit curated by acclaimed contemporary street artist, Shepard Fairey. Hosted in partnership with<br />
Lollapalooza, the event showcased the work of over 40 contemporary artists, including Swoon, Haze and Space<br />
Invader, combining a variety of unique styles into one exhibition. The highly anticipated show also featured<br />
music, panel discussions, charities, education and other topics in a sweeping celebration of local, national and<br />
global art initiatives. Additionally, alternative hip-hop group Deltron 3030 performed an aftershow on August<br />
2, an apt conclusion to a weekend of energy and creativity.<br />

A portion of the proceeds from the event were donated<br />
to Chicago Art Partnerships in Education (CAPE), an<br />
organization that enhances students’ classroom experiences<br />
by integrating visual and performing arts into their lesson<br />
plans. CAPE was one of four sponsors of the exhibit,<br />
along with Bud Light, Herradura Tequila and Hennessy.<br />
Hennessy V.S. currently offers a limited edition bottle that<br />
was designed in collaboration with Fairey..<br />
