January 17 – 26
Your puppetry destination for food, drinks, and exhibitions!
Come check out our Pop Up Puppet Hub on the 4th floor of the Fine Arts Building. Bursting with site-specific activities, it’s the perfect place to relax between shows, meet up with friends and make some new ones! Enjoy Spoke & Bird Pop-Up Cafe as well as two special exhibitions: Lessons in Puppetry by Myra Su, in which the artist shares her various puppetry experiments and lessons she’s learned along the way; and Puppetry Under the Sea, a display of over 20 puppets that were designed and built by the Chicago Puppet Studio, for Drury Lane Theatre’s production of “The Little Mermaid.” FREE, family friendly (for all ages).
