I love a refurb story and in this gem a but off of the beaten path, but near the site where the Obama Presidential Library will eventually be housed, you will find a site with huge Corinthian columns which leads you in to repository of some of the artifacts of the Johnson Publishing Company (which facing bankruptcy is alsp rumored to have its digital assets up for sale). Of most interest was an exhibit "The Obama Paintings" by Rob Pruitt which feature a painting of a scene for each day President Obama was in office hung in the main gallery space and throught the first floor. Each painting looks like an intermediate stage between the negative and the four color photo all in not-so-subtle tones of red, white and blue which once they come into focus feature some of the most iconic images and memorable momnets of the eight-year term. Many of the paintings were stacked because I dare say few museum spaces have enough room to display all of them at once (you can do the math of 8 years by 365 days). You can have fun seeing some of your favorite celebrities alongside the Obamas, now celebrities in their own right. On your way out be sure to stop by the very solemn...

L'endroit est magnifique. Par contre, le personnel n'est pas du tout accueillant et ils font tout pour nous mettre des bâtons dans les roues! Nous somme arrivés et l'agent de sécurité à l'entrée nous a remis notre badge en nous indiquant le plan. Nous avons donc décidé de commencer par le sous-sol. Arrivé là, une employé nous dit que cet étage n'est pas ouvert pour le public! Nous lui demandons gentiment s'il est possible de simplement prendre une photo du vieux coffre fort et elle nous répond que non! Nous insistons pour lui dire que nous ne toucherons à rien et que nous venons de très loin (Canada) expressément pour cela. Sa réponse ne change pas... Nous rebroussons chemin et décidons de reprendre l'ascenseur pour commencer par le dernier étage. Nous arrivons donc au 3e étage. Nous prenons quelques photos et encore une fois, la même employée (qui était au sous-sol!) nous dit que cet étage n'est pas accessible car il a été réservé par un groupe. Le groupe en question ne nous a pas posé de question et ça ne semblait pas les déranger que nous soyons là... Nous commençons à perdre patience. Nous redescendons alors au 2e étage afin de visiter la bibliothèque. Nous entrons mais après quelques secondes, un autre employé nous demande si nous avons une autorisation pour prendre des photos et si nous avons suivis la séances d'information. Je lui dit que non, et que je n'étais pas au courant qu'il y avait une séance d'information.. Elle me dit que oui et elle me demande de signer un formulaire afin de savoir pourquoi nous prenons des photos... Je lui explique que nous sommes 2 touristes qui prennent des photos personnelles. Ces photos ne seront pas utilisées dans un cadre professionnel. L'employé m'explique alors que je dois suivre la séance et remplir le formulaire. Elle ne collabore pas du tout et je perd patience en lui expliquant que personne ne nous a avisé à l'entrée et que ça devrait être mieux indiquée. Il serait alors plus facile de respecter leurs règlements! Après plusieurs minutes, ils consentent à nous laisser entrer. Par contre, l'employée qui était venu nous avertir initialement (dans le sous-sol et au 3e étage) refait surface. Elle me dit qu'elle trouve que nous avons été rude envers ses employés et que nous devons changer d'attitude, sinon nous allons devoir quitter les lieux. Je lui explique tant bien que mal (dans mon anglais approximatif) que nous sommes ici simplement pour prendre des photos, que nous ne toucherons à rien, que les photos resteront pour notre usage personnel. Je ne veux pas être bête envers les employés, mais nous aimerions avoir les directives claires lors de notre arrivée, ce qui n'a pas été le cas! Quelques minutes plus tard, un autre couple entre dans la bibliothèque pour prendre des photos. Le couple n'a signé aucune autorisation, touche sans problème aux livres et les employés sur place ne disent rien! C'est vraiment frustrant de faire tout ce chemin du Canada afin de capturer quelques moment de cet édifice historique et que le personnel fait tout pour nous nuire! Je ne le recommande vraiment pas. La place est belle, mais tout ce qui est autour ne fait que décourager...

I was AMAZED and PROUD and frankly EMOTIONAL to see the redesign and repurposing of the old Stony Island Bank...into a FABULOUS South Side GEM!

The Stony Island Art Bank had a great turn out for an event (Celebrating the life of Black Panther Party's young leader, Fred Hampton). The art displays, lighting, sound system, interior design and "artsy-cultural-historical" vibe of the building was electrifying. If you want to just soak up the historical ambiance of the building and relax in the MOST IMPRESSIVE PRIVATE LIBRARY I HAVE SEEN, you can just sink down into one of the leather chairs and pick up a book by authors well-known to new-on- the- scene.

The MUSIC collection is nostalgic to current and represents the best jazz- to- hip hop musicians, singers, rappers and orators.

I have found a new spot to help me "download the mess and stress of life" and get renewed and restored by submerging into MY ROOTS, MY CULTURE, MY VALIDATION OF GREATNESS. Well worth spending a leisurely afternoon...

Awesome afternoon (last Sundays, 2-6 pm) of bring-your-own-vinyl .... So much variety in music -- and in DJs, from beginners to sophisticates! Loved the drinks at the Johnson Lounge, walking through the downstairs gallery space. Even the bathrooms were very cool, built out with found and recycled materials. Very cool and fun. We'll be back for this event and others!

Attended ending reception for Jewel Ham exhibit with house party spun by the phenomenal DJ Powell. Event was sponsored by Hennessy with speciality cocktails served by really competent bar staff. Not sure who catered event but food was well prepared and tasty. Good vibe overall.
