LOTUS POWER : Art, Food, Drink, DJ Pleather Heather Classics v. EDM Mashup

Getting the old BC (Before Covid) "PoP-uP" Crew back together after 6 years, only THIS time, we have our own gallery, bordering Chicago's beautiful Roscoe Village / Lakeview Neighborhoods.

Timeless Arts Gallery & Studio at 3040 N. Ashland.

Returning Lineup includes the Queen of Chicago's art scene, Miss Ruth La Sure, Heather Barstow aka DJ Pleather Heather, Laura Slota, Jenn-Y., Ivan Bilic, Sunshine Unit and gallery owner, Rob John Proue, PLUS Readings by "Dr." Madelin Addams.

Heather came up with the idea for Lotus POWER from the Season 3 Premiere, "No Man Is an Island", of the popular television show The White Lotus, and although I've never seen it (don't watch TV "programming" anymore), I love the concept of a peaceful artistic retreat in the Heart of the City, where Pleather Heather is mashing up Classics with today's EDM! cRaZy!

"...everyone is kind of dealing with the fact that this is a healing show, dealing with our bullshit, like getting on vacation in the summer, it's a happy thing too, leaving the bad stuff behind, healing and just enjoying the summer. The belly of the well, there's a lot of undercurrent, it can be emotional...." Heather Barstow (I was typing as she was RANTING, so I may have butchered it badly.)

"Artists lay their hearts (and souls) on the line, everytime."

Canvas, oils, acrylics, some alcohl inks by Ruth, Kat Nesbitt's pOp-uP photography, Ivan's Artography, Rob's metal sculpture & jewelry, some unique furniture concepts by Kevin Stack and Nino, putting out some pretty amazing angle-iron and teakwood root furniture, buddha statues, wine racks...imaginative stuff.
