Perhaps more than any other state outside the thirteen colonies, Illinois has played a major role in shaping our nation. Learn how our state became a state—changing governments seven times in a little over a century—and spurred further national changes for another century to come. Presented by John Kokoris (a.k.a. “Mr. Illinois”). Registration encouraged.

Join us for a screening of the 2025 crime thriller film “Tuner.” Leo Woodall plays a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals. Along the way, the film provides an unlikely narrative blend: part New York story, part thriller, part romance.

Born in 1907, Lee Miller went from flapper to cover model, Surrealist artist to World War II photojournalist. She achieved success in her various professions and earned the respect of (mostly male) colleagues. Art historian Jeff Mishur returns to discuss a selection of Miller’s work, which is currently the subject of an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.
