Art Shay book signing this Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 6:30 PM at the MCA

This Saturday, June 14, 2008, you have the chance to meet famed Chicago photographer Art Shay at the Museum of Contemporary Art. He'll be signing his books, including Chicago's Nelson Algren, Art Shay: Chicago Accent, and Nelson Algren's Chicago. Art was good friends with Nelson Algren, and hand-picked the photographs for the exhibit.

Chicago's Nelson Algren was published in 2007, and has been a very popular book, especially approaching the centennial of Algren' birth.

Art Shay: Chicago Accent is the companion book to the recent exhibit at the Stephen Daiter Gallery. Many of those same photographs are part of the current exhibition.

Nelson Algren's Chicago was first published in 1988, shortly after Nelson Algren passed away.

Show up at 6:30 PM before the line gets too long, and check out the 19 photographs on display. The exhibit is featured in association with our production of Nelson Algren: For Keeps and A Single Day. Tickets for the 7:30 PM show will be on sale, as will the books that Art will sign.
