This week’s issue of the Weekly featured eta Creative Arts Foundation and the expansion project that they are running. Some supplementary material that eta provided fell by the wayside in the course of writing the article, so I want to share that with you now, in photo form.

There are some very exciting things happening at eta, as always. I fully encourage you to go over there and see what’s up.

This is an artist’s rendering of eta’s new space, which will go up across the street from their current location at 7558 S. Chicago Avenue. Pretty spiffy, eh?

The next two pictures are of eta’s gallery space: the event, “Music Mondays”, is held on the 2nd Monday in each month and takes place in the gallery.

These last two pictures are production photos of “Broke-ology”, eta’s new mainstage show, the details of which are listed below in the Log. Go check it out! eta is a great venue that gives a platform for new writers and actors to show their talent in a neighborhood of the city that is in need of artists. Show your support for this mainstay of the South Side.

There are several excellent shows this week, including The Physicists and Broke-ology. Since it might be raining all weekend, it’s the perfect time to get out and see some performances. And look forward to the opening of An Iliad at Court Theatre next week!

This Wednesday, Cafe Society will meet at Brown Sugar Bakery at 6pm to discuss “Greening the Southside” with WBEZ’s South Side correspondent Natalie Moore and Blacks in Green founder Naomi Davis. Davis is one of a number of black environmentalists who see potential in green jobs for revitalizing poor and minority communities. The discussion is free, although reservations are required, so drop by and find out more about how the South Side can get greener and golder. And don’t forget to congratulate Moore on her recent Studs Terkel Community Media Award.
