Gardenia Hung Greetings for Summer 2009! My name is Gardenia C. Hung. I have been a member of the Art Institute of Chicago while I learned to appreciate the fine arts... I am still a devoted fan of the visual arts and visit the Art Institute of Chicago whenever I can get to Michigan Avenue...


Ellen Petrosky Nasto Can anyone tell me if the AIC gets really crowded on Friday nights?
Free summer evenings (Thurs & Fri) are always popular, but Friday is definitely less crowded than Thursday.

Rosemary Fanti I am a true fan. Attended SAIC for 8 years as a child, when the school was below ground. And I am now all grown and a REAL artist! Thank you (and my parents) for the greatest gift: knowledge!
