Hybrid's Paradise Exhibit @ Evanston Art Centre's new location

There are exciting things happening in Evanston. The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is moving to its new location soon. Founded back in early 1930, EAC has been always dedicated to fostering the appreciation and expression of the arts amongst diverse audiences by believing in the power of art to inspire, amaze and enrich.  EAC offers extensive and innovative instruction in board areas of artistic endeavor through various classes, exhibition, art activities and community outreach.

It is an honor to have my artwork selected for the opening ceremony of EAC to celebrate their new location. The selection process was curated by the one and only Sergio Gomez who is a s a Chicago-based visual artist and creative entrepreneur. He is also the Director of Exhibitions at the Zhou B. Art Center.  I can not describe how I felt when I found out my name is within the artists handpicked by him for this special event.  The name of the exhibit is "Hybrid's Paradise" so prepare yourselves to experience amazing artwork around this theme. Being part of this amazing group of artists is an absolute honor.

For this exhibition I'm creating something very different; an Art installation. It is challenging yet exciting as I believe it's necessary for artists to come out of their comfort zones once in a while. The opening ceremony is approaching so it needs a lot of hard work.... but surely will be rewarding. Stay tuned as I will update you on the process of my installation. For now just remember #Whisperingwalls

I can not wait to celebrate the new location of EAC with you all. Mark your calendars, tell your friends and those who are interested and come join us at this amazing new location.

Date & Time: Sunday, June 14th 2015 - From 1-4 pm

Location : 1717 Central Street, Evanston

The official invitation will be shared soon as well. Hope to see you all there.

In search of The Perfect Studio space, could this be it?!

Well, I have been looking around for a long long time. Been moving studio spaces few times and still looking for that one inspiring space..I think I finally have found it! Fingers crossed! From Ravenswood to Bridgeport I have been looking around at any artist studio space possible, been added to all the waiting lists for the high in demand locations in Chicago and been in contact with the best realtors. It has been a long process searching for that perfect location for my art creation. Some spaces were located in great neighborhoods but were really overpriced, some where in not the best areas and not with that much traffic for art enthusiasts, some where too small, some were in bad condition, ... you name it I have seen it all!

Few weeks back, I found a space at Bridgeport Art Centre in Chicago. The building is great and they are also adding a Ceramic section to the building. Full of amazing artists with access to the Gallery and small museum in the building. There is a down side to this though;  the space is in a basement level and there are NO natural lights what so ever...I know they say some artists become more creative in dark spaces but I don't think I could be in that category just yet...

I have now hopefully found the perfect location. It will be revealed soon along with invitations to a very exclusive list of invitees to attend for the opening. This space has its own curator and gallery built in and the team working behind it are one of the most amazing artists I have seen in Chicago so far so it is really exciting and really hoping I can get into this space as soon as possible.  Hopefully I can settle down in this space for a while and I have a feeling that might be the case. Stay tuned. There are some many amazing news coming up. Working on two major projects at the moment. Also some great great news coming up for me. As it seems 2015 is getting better and better already.

Will reveal the news once 100% confirmed...It is going to be an amazing chapter for Sarvin Haghighi and her art. Wait for it Chicago, you are going to hear my name more and more and more ...
