      First thing is first, due to nasty weather Betty stayed home on this day of adventure. However, I braved the elements and attended (and participated in) Locallective’s opening exhibition, After the Suffix. With a focus on how artists interpret aspects of life and in-turn interpret it’s significance, the show is appropriately varied in medium and content.

      Located at 1257 N. Milwaukee Ave, 2nd Floor, this incredible space expresses Locallective’s initiative to provide an unconventional environment for artist’s expression. Check it out! Exhibitions and events happen monthly and feature work from visual artists, designers, chefs, mixologist, and musicians.
