Chicago Arts Program Festival – A Completely Different Kind of Show

Jun 15, 2010
Katie Spencer

Katie Spencer takes a turn on the stage at the Chicago Arts Program Festival.

"Now for something completely different" was the unofficial theme for the spring 2010 ACM Chicago Arts Program Festival, as a filmmaker, a weaver, a poet, a musician, and a standup comedian took the stage to showcase their work.

The Festival highlighted the five students' independent study projects (ISPs), one of the program's academic components. While the students' art forms were different, they all used their semester in Chicago to try something completely different for themselves – developing their talents, embarking on new endeavors, and exploring life in the city.
