EXPO CHICAGO President | Director Tony Karman Featured at iconic Chopin Theater

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Miami, August 10, 2016: This art season Creative Minds Talks has teamed up with the Village of Bal Harbour's international art program, to present the first art talk in Chicago during the premiere contemporary and modern art fair EXPO CHICAGO held from September 22-25, 2016 at Navy Pier. The partnership pairs Unscripted's art talk series with Creative Minds Talks, a Miami-based series that covers art, design, fashion and architecture. The talk will be hosted by Chicago's iconic Chopin Theater, and guest speaker EXPO CHICAGO President | Director Tony Karman, will address how public art does and should activate its audience. Chicago's vast city public art collection and significant architecture provides the perfect backdrop for the discussion, which will be attended by Bal Harbour guests, art fair attendees and the public. The talk is scheduled for Monday, September 19 at 7.30pm at Chopin Theater.

Spearheaded by Creative Minds Talks founder and producer, Ewa Poilleux and Bal Harbour's curator Claire Breukel this partnership signifies regional expansion of the Unscripted art program following it's collaboration with The Armory Show, New York in 2015 and 2016. Bal Harbour Village City Manager Jorge Gonzalez explains the significance of collaborating regionally:
Bal Harbour's visitors hail from all over the world, and from the United States with concentrations from New York, Chicago and California. We hope to reciprocate this investment by bringing quality programming to these destinations. We are excited to be collaborating with like-minded arts initiatives Creative Minds Talks and EXPO CHICAGO.

Creative Minds Talks founder Ewa Poilleux is equally excited about the collaboration:
We are very excited to kick off our Creative Minds Series in Chicago with such a great partner, Unscripted Bal Harbour. We are equally happy to feature Tony Karman as our first guest speaker and discuss public art as an integrated part of our culture and society. We hope the art talk is a beginning of an ongoing regional cultural collaboration.
