Chicago Sews Insider Perk — Visit the Paul Tazewell Exhibit at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry
Join your Chicago Sews community for a special Insider Perk outing to see Crafting Character: The Costumes of Paul Tazewell at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry on Saturday, March 7th at 11 am.
This immersive exhibition celebrates the creative journey and craftsmanship of award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell — the brilliant mind behind iconic looks from Wicked, Hamilton, West Side Story, and more. Through stunning original costumes, sketches, narration, photos, and behind-the-scenes videos, you’ll get a rare look at how imagination becomes wearable art.
Highlights of the exhibit include pieces like Glinda’s pink bubble dress and Elphaba’s Emerald City gown from Wicked, period tailoring from Hamilton, and vibrant designs from West Side Story — along with multimedia insights into Tazewell’s design process.
Where: Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (5700 S. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL)
When: Saturday, March 7th
Time: Meet at 11:00 am
Tickets: Everyone is welcome to join us for this museum visit,
but only Chicago Sews Insiders will have their exhibit tickets covered as part of this Insider Perk.
Whether you love sewing, costume design, theater, or just want to be inspired, this exhibit is a fantastic way to spend a morning with fellow makers and creatives.
Can't wait to see you there!
