Chicago Truborn's 13 Year Anniversary is up next Chicago Truborn opened its doors in West Town with a pretty simple idea: make art accessible, to support artists, and create a space that felt less like a traditional gallery and a more like a place to call home. I've watched artists and galleries come and go. I've seen our neighborhood change, the buildings, the businesses, and entire casts of people come through the Chicago art scene. I've seen artists who were just getting started become household names. Taken chances on people I believed in. Put paintings in living rooms and bedrooms and kitchens... murals on walls, weird objects on bookshelves, and art in the hands of people who maybe never thought they were “art collectors.” Chicago Truborn is Still here. Still independently owned, putting artists first. Still trying to make art feel approachable. Still got that door propped open. Playing my tunes. It's only right to celebrate my business Bat Mitzvah by showing an artist who has been Instrumental in my experience, both professionally and personally. An artist whose name and work can not be seperated from the history of Chicago: That artist is my friend Anthony Lewellen.
