Free for Illinois residents

Michael Darling, James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator at the MCA will lead a tour on BMO Harris Bank Chicago Works: Paul Cowan on December 18. These tours are opportunities for the public to get a better understanding of the work from the curator who's involvement with the exhibiting artist provides insight and appreciation to the artist's concepts.

A recent graduate of the MFA program at the University of Illinois Chicago, Cowan has in a short period distinguished himself as a penetrating observer of and participant in the long tradition of painting, questioning its cherished ideals and putting forth provocative proposals for its future.

Free with museum admission. Curator tour groups meet by the admissions desk on the second floor.
