About 625 AT 6:25
625 AT 6:25 is a new series of events held in the ART WORKS Projects studio gallery at 625 N. Kingsbury in Chicago. Launched in 2014, the programming will include free exhibitions, community conversations, panel discussions, film screenings, concerts, and more. Each event is designed to give audiences the opportunity to learn about and discuss a range of regional and global human rights topics and to consider how the arts are being used to address these issues.
Announcing the Emerging Lens Program

Heriberto T Quiroz, a Chicago-based photographer currently studying at Columbia College, is the first photographer selected for the program.
