Above the Skyline
Forté Productions has planned “Above the Skyline – Hardt & Soul: Rooftop Edition” on Saturday, September 26, 2009 to deliver a distinctly refreshing event experience to Chicago music, art and fashion connoisseurs. Above the Skyline embodies Forté Productions’ and Hardt & Soul’s philosophy of creating unique, intimate, and unforgettable experiences for our audience utilizing alternative venues, while showcasing innovative futuristic music, art and fashion. Above the Skyline offers an atypical event experience in Chicago by showcasing world renowned DJ, artist, and designer talent at dual indoor/outdoor rooftop decks at River City, located at 800 S. Wells. The first rooftop, Skyline Park, is a picturesque 1.5-acre park with grassy hills, trees, plants and flowers, chairs, benches and tables, with the Chicago River and skyscrapers as the backdrop. The second rooftop is a more industrial setting with a 360-degree view of downtown Chicago, the Chicago River, and Lake Michigan. Industrial picnic benches, chairs, and lounge-chairs are available for guests. DJs will provide the musical entertainment on each rooftop and local artists will showcase their art in each building and at booths, while models will be wearing local designer fashion.
Above the Skyline will be produced in benefit of For the Mamas, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for women whose lives are affected by cancer and its treatment. Proceeds raised will be used to provide these women with massage, acupuncture, manicures, pedicures, chiropractic treatment, yoga, music lessons, art lessons, and more free of charge. Additional program will also include education and information, classes on exercise, nutrition, and stress reduction, as well as psychological support for these women, their families and friends. In addition to having DJs, artists and designers, Above the Skyline will also have onpremise licensed massage therapists and acupuncturists offering services free of charge to attendees. For the Mamas recognizes and cherishes the mothers and women in our lives. This special launch party will be the first of many events that Forté Productions intends to promote as a fundraising vehicle benefiting For the Mamas.

Willing to teach ages 5-105 painting, drawing, and mixed media.

Art Classes for All Ages!
I have been racking my brain to figure out how to make money making art and not bar tending.....so I am putting some effort into it. If anyone is interested in taking private art lessons from me either at my home or yours.... I am willing to teach painting, drawing, mixed media or even host critiques of current work. I have been making art since I was 7, I graduated with an Art Therapy degree in 2000 and have been successfully selling my art in Chicago for the last nine years. Payment would be arranged on a sliding scale. If you are interested in taking a class with me please, email me at ludamila9 at gmail dot com with "art lessons" in the subject heading.
