The South Side Community Art Center, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Logan Center for the Arts, and University of Chicago Presents invite you to Save the Date for Between Sound and Sight: Mapping the Sonic Imprints of Charles White’s Vision, a FREE day-long symposium offered in conjunction with the February 14th performance by pianist/composer Gerald Clayton of his original suite, White Cities: A Musical Tribute to Charles White at the Logan Center for the Arts. The symposium will explore sound, image, and history, offering a deeper engagement with Charles White’s multi-dimensional legacy. Discussions will consider White’s work with musicians and music media—such as illustrations for jazz album covers and film and television, as well as his paintings, etchings, and drawings of musicians—and ways in which his work and legacy continue to reverberate across the cultural landscape, particularly as an influence for contemporary artists. On February 14th, the evening before the symposium, Gerald Clayton will perform his piece White Cities: A Musical Tribute to Charles White, honoring the connection between music and visual art that permeates Charles White’s artistic vision.

This panel will explore how visual artists and musicians find inspiration in visual and sound/music practice and how these influences are rendered compositionally and as points of convergence and meaning-making. Moderator: Travis Jackson Panelists: Gerald Clayton, Angel Bat Dawid, Douglas R. Ewart 2:30 PM | Panel Three: Figures in Music: Charles White’s PortraitsCharles White’s portraits of musicians such as Leadbelly, Harry Belafonte, Bessie Smith, and Mahalia Jackson are some of his best-known works. This panel will explore White’s extraordinary portraiture of music-makers and how his relationships with some of these musicians and their work influenced his compositions and activism. In particular, the panel will consider White’s portraits of Black women in music. Moderator: Melanie Herzog Panelists: Daniel Schulman, Benjamin Jones, Tammy Kernodle 3:30 PM |Closing

Absolutely incredible experience!From the moment you enter, you&#39;re immersed in the history and interactive exhibits. The elevator ride adds to the anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking. We splurged on the drinks package, and they certainly didn&#39;t disappoint.

Before riding the elevator to the top, there&rsquo;s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower&rsquo;s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It&rsquo;s definitely a worthwhile experience.
