chicago history museum research hours cuts

The Chicago History Museum has cut hours at its Abakanowicz Research Center by roughly 50%, reducing it to three days a week with limited hours, following staff reductions tied to a labor dispute. Employees voted to unionize in February under Chicago History Museum Workers United, and several organizers were later dismissed; remaining staff had their hours cut to part-time in July, losing health insurance and income. The cuts affect access to archival holdings including police records and personal papers of notable figures, which supported over 5,500 research requests in 2024.

Tucson Artists Protest group unveils art exhibit on tail of No Kings Day

The Tucson Artists Protest group has launched an unjuried exhibition titled "Expression Against Repression" at the Historic Y arts space in downtown Tucson. The show opened Sunday with a parade, film screening, and poetry reading, featuring 82 works including a paper mache effigy of President Donald Trump, a comic strip about healthcare, and a portrait of a father and child. Founder Betty Harris, also first vice-chair of the LD20 Democratic Committee, organized the exhibit to merge art and politics without campaign advertising, inspired by an earlier "Roots of Resistance" show at Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery and Workshop.

Milwaukee art gallery owner working tirelessly to keep her space open amid potential foreclosure

Fatima Laster, owner of the 5 Points Art Gallery & Studios in Milwaukee’s 5 Points neighborhood, is facing potential foreclosure on the building she purchased in 2018. She acquired the property through the city’s ARCH loan program and financed it with a five-year loan from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Impact Investing program. The balloon payment of $260,000 is due by December 1, 2025. Laster has been fundraising to save the space, which has hosted hundreds of artists and thousands of visitors. Her current immersive installation, “Interrupted: Cash for Homes,” replicates her grandparents’ home and addresses gentrification and housing displacement on Milwaukee’s north side.
