ACTIVATE ALLEY - Downtown Chicago

Location: Benton Place alley located next to the Chicago Theater.
175 North State Street, Chicago.

Times: Set times will be 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM.

Link to Official Site: http://loopchicago.com/activate

Wasteland: Dispose and Discover explores the alley as the space where we dispose of our unwanted stuff – and discover discarded objects that continue to hold value.Through a series of interactive art installations using discarded objects and trash receptacles as the primary materials, the event highlights the story of our trash and the alley's role as garbage hotspot.

The 2017 ACTIVATE theme, Off Street, invites the public to explore the pulse of daily life that the alley embodies. Art and programming will focus on a different aspect of alley life for each event.

EE Opens The Bughouse Square Debates.

Location: Washington Square Park (aka Bughouse Square), 901 North Clark Street, across Walton from the Newberry Library.

Noon-4 PM. Free and Open to the Public. All Ages.
EE Plays our Set at the Opening from Noon to 12:30.

The Newberry Library will also be having its once a year, Book Sale.

"The 2017 Bughouse Square Debates will take place Saturday, July 29, across from the Newberry in Washington Square Park.

Bughouse Square (bughouse is slang for mental health facility) is the popular name for Washington Square Park. Just south of the Newberry, this park was Chicago's most boisterous and radical free-speech space from the 1910s through the 1960s. Bohemians, socialists, atheists, and religionists of all persuasions mounted soapboxes, spoke to responsive, vocal crowds, and competed informally for attention and donations. The square's core contributors, however, came from the Industrial Workers of the World union members whose radical views and wit made them perennial crowd favorites. In the park's heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, as busloads of tourists ogled the scene, thousands of people gathered on summer evenings. World War II and a post-war crackdown against socialists and communists led to Bughouse Square's decline and, by the mid-1960s, it had all but ceased to exist. The Newberry and community activists officially revived the spirit of the park with the Bughouse Square Debates in 1986."
