May-August 2013 Feature:
Linda Warren Projects

In 2013 we embark on a new chapter for Linda Warren Projects, and we celebrate 10 years of doing business here in Chicago. Looking back on our experiences thus far, we feel a tremendous sense of pride, as well as earnest anticipation for what the future holds. The last two years have kept us especially busy with rewarding projects, including the creation of a corporate art collection for a Fortune 500 company’s new world headquarters; the acquisitions include over 100 works by more than 50 artists from 22 countries. Many of our own gallery artists also created extraordinary site-specific commissions for the collection.

As things are comfortably winding down from that tremendous undertaking, we’ve been able to shift our focus to other programs and priorities. We are especially excited to be adding two outstanding Chicago artists to our eclectic roster: Michiko Itatani (who will have a solo exhibit in September 2013) and Kim Piotrowski (who will be featured in September 2014.) This June we’re also looking forward to launching a new and improved gallery website, as well as introducing Higher Art – Conscious Corporate Collecting, Linda Warren Projects’ newest venture that assists corporations in building collections that support young artists.

No matter what comes next, our core vision remains the same: to support our artists in expanding their careers and accomplishing their ambitions, to expose their work to a broader audience and provide a welcoming and nurturing space where all people - artists, art aficionados, seasoned collectors as well as newbies - feel comfortable looking at art that contemplates and expresses both individual artistic perspectives and our contemporary times.

We believe passionately in the necessity of this dialogue of art and beauty and in the particularly intelligent and provocative ways in which our artists communicate different truths and points of view. We all benefit from this exchange, as it provokes inquiry and transforms the way we think and feel, thus instilling an appreciation and respect for our differences and our shared humanity.
