What to expect throughout the year

October through April, we meet on five Wednesday afternoons for lectures. Past yearly topics have covered such subjects as folk art, Chicago art, and the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Members also gather for special programs throughout the year: a kickoff luncheon in September, a holiday luncheon in December, a tea in February, a special program in March, and a final luncheon in May.

Lectures are included with membership. Luncheons and special programs carry a separate fee, announced with each event.

Please bring a guest

Bring a friend to a lecture for $10, paid at the door - no registration needed. For luncheons and special programs, guests pay a small additional charge, and you'll add them when you register.

Guests are welcome at everything we do. It's the easiest way to introduce someone to the Society, and it's how a good many of our members first came through the door.
