Well, no, not really. I just managed to bamboozle my way into a Chicago-themed group exhibition at the Bridgeport Art Center with a couple of low-grade watercolor paintings I had sitting in a pile and gathering dust.
Do not worry about the spoiler above – there is a lot of other art to see there until Sept. 1. It’s well worth the visit, especially every third Friday of the month, when you can also check out some of the artists’ studios in the center’s vast innards.
