Explore the storied history of Edgar Miller's Handmade Homes of Old Town this summer and fall with Edgar Miller Legacy! This one and a half hour tour will cover a little over one mile in the Old Town neighborhood on Chicago’s Near North Side.
Beginning at the Art on Sedgwick Gallery (1404 North Sedgwick Street, Chicago) with an overview of Old Town through the lens of the Handmade Histories exhibition, attendees will then visit sites within and around the West Burton Place Historic District and up into the Old Town Triangle, focusing on Edgar Miller and Sol Kogen's Carl Street Studios and Kogen-Miller Studios and how they changed the urban fabric of the neighborhood. Other stops along the way will include many inspired "handmade" residential projects that are also home to artwork and design by Miller, Jesús Torres, and many others. View the dozens of incredible embedded art pieces hidden throughout the neighborhood within these architectural gems!
Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to go even deeper into the stories behind the unique built environment of the Old Town neighborhood by privately viewing collected art and materials on display at the Art on Sedgwick Gallery, including rarely seen media and images from the Edgar Miller Legacy archive.
