Our exhibition at the Apollo Theatre in conjunction with the smash musical Million Dollar Quartet now features the work of Rick Janes, Don Elmi, George Lindmark and has prints by Howard Finster.

We encourage artists to create new pieces for this exhibit (obviously the pieces must relate to the show in some way and be wall mountable).

We congratulate the cast and crew of the production for remounting the show on Broadway and for the Tony nomination. Congrats to Levi Kreis for Best Actor in a Musical Tony Award in the Broadway production of Million Dollar Quartet!

The Chicago production will continue as long as audiences support it. It's a wonderful show! Don't miss it! Stop by the theatre to view the art in the lobby (you don't need a ticket for the show to see the artwork). The art is for sale. Please support local artists!
