May 4    Chicago Print Crawl

An annual, self-guided tour of printmaking production, publishing, exhibition and sales venues throughout the City of Chicago.

Organized by Spudnik Press Cooperative.

The Chicago Print Crawl offers a behind-the-scenes peek into Chicago’s vibrant printmaking industry. 38 eclectic printmaking venues throughout the city are inviting the public to stop by for a day of free activities including studio tours, print sales, hands-on art projects, gallery exhibitions, and printmaking demonstrations.

Chicago has been a hub for commercial printing since the late nineteenth century with dozens of mail order catalogs (Sears Roebuck and Co.), magazines (Time Magazine via RR Donnelley), and maps (Rand McNally) all produced in the area. While the printing industry has undergone tremendous change, the Third Coast continues to boast an impressive spectrum of print shops from private artist studios to commercial facilities to collectives and educational spaces. Some venues proudly house cast iron presses, tradition stone lithography, and analog processes. Other favor digital design, modern technology, or a blend of old and new. Connected to these distinctive production sites are a range of unique galleries, local businesses, and DIY spaces that bring printed items (i.e. stationary, fine art, books, posters, apparel, and more) to an audience of print-enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone interested in craftsmanship and shopping local.

With open houses in neighborhoods from Evanston to McKinley Park and from Oak Park to Michigan Avenue, participants are invited to print their way through Chicago.

This event is free and open to the public.

May 15    On the Table Advocating for Adult Literacy

The CLA Confab's emergent working group on Advocacy and Collective Voice will be hosting an On the Table discussion around advocating for adult literacy on Monday, May 13 from 10:30 am - 12 noon in the Room on Mango Street (3rd Floor) at the Literacenter.

This year's focus of On the Table is creating a "Memo to the Mayor." We want to make sure that the mayor is aware of the high number of adults dealing with low literacy in our city and the organizers of On the Table think a "memo is the best way to document what our community wants to tell Chicago’s new mayor." Will you help us shape our message to the Mayor and other stakeholders? The conversation will be led by the working group's co-chairs, Claire Haasl of David L. Hoyt Education Foundation and Lola Harrison of Concordia University Chicago's Center for Literacy.

All are invited to attend, please tell your colleagues and anyone interested in participating to join us. If you want to be involved in this Confab working group, but can't make it to this conversation or the next Confab on May 15, please email Claire at Claire@davidlhoytfoundation.org.

May 18    EUROVISION SONG CONTEST VIEWING PARTY!

Once again, the DANK Haus is opening its doors for one of the greatest contests on earth: the Eurovision Song Contest.

Every year, millions of people tune in to watch this wacky, international spectacle. Last year, the winner was the singer Netta from Israel with the song "Toy", written by Doron Medalie and Stav Beger.

So far, Germany has only won the contest twice: in 1982 with Nicole and her unforgettable “Ein bißchen Frieden," and in 2010 with Lena and her song "Satellite". Germany is noteworthy for having competed in the contest more than any other country; they have competed in every contest since the first edition in 1956 except for the 1996 contest when the nation was eliminated in a pre-contest elimination round.

As one of the longest-running television shows in the world, the Eurovision Song Contest could be called the "granddaddy" of all singing contests. Since 1956, member countries of the European Broadcasting Union have sent their candidates to compete for the best performance. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition.

DANK Haus will stream the last day of the contest live from Israel. Channel the European in you and come to cheer for your favorite country and song!

Doors open at 1:00 pm | Contest starts at 2:00 pm

Free Admission | Food and drink available for purchase
