"Together We're F--ked" by Joel Fisher; courtesy of Bridgeport Art GalleryBridgeport Art Center’s First Annual Art Competition

The Bridgeport Art Center’s First Annual Art Competition features selected works from a pool of over 220 artists living or working within 100 miles of Chicago. The winning piece, titled "Together We’re F—ed," represents the gallery well. The piece, a giant sardine can stuffed with nine oversized dead fish, challenges viewers with its grandiosity – both in size and bluntness. Patrons can expect similar evocations from many of the exhibition’s works. The exhibit runs thru Jan. 31. Admission is free. The exhibit is open Monday thru Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
