 The Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour Continues July 15

Friday, July 15, people are invited to immerse themselves in the Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour. The Trolley Tour offers great access to the largest African American Art District in the Nation. Now in its 16th year, the tour will happen from 6 to 9 p.m. Attendees will be able to enjoy art and entertainment, as well as have an opportunity to meet with the gallery owners and artists. The event is free but guests must RSVP at https://bit.ly/2022bronzevillearttour

The five galleries featured on the Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour 2022 are: Gallery Guichard, “Art That Touches The Soul;” Blanc Gallery, “A Culture Of Conversation;” Bronzeville Artist Lofts, where extraordinary art is created and curated, Faie Afrikan Art, “African Art In Bronzeville;” and the South Side Community Art Center, “A Legacy Of Artistic
Excellence.” The evening will also include food and cocktails.

Attendees are excited that the trolleys are back this year! Due to Covid-19 restrictions this special part of the tour was discontinued for two years.

“We are excited about the double- decker buses being a part of the
Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour again this year. These trolleys are good for Chicago tourism and have become a symbol internationally for tourism in our city. It is important that they are in Bronzeville again
now,” said Andre Guichard, the Mayor of Bronzeville and co-owner of Bronzeville’s Gallery Guichard.

“The trolleys show off the best Chicago has to offer. Chicago has great culture, art, architecture, restaurants and history. All of these things and more can be found in Bronzeville,” said Frances Guichard, the
First Lady of Bronzeville and co-owner of Gallery Guichard.

The trolleys also offer great convenience and safety for attendees because they can hop on and off the trolleys as they desire at each of the five galleries. The Bronzeville Art District Art Tour 2022 will take place the third Friday of each month.

Additional dates are Aug. 19, and Sept. 16. Patrons and guests can find out more at Eventbrite:https://bit.ly/2022bronzevillearttour. Sponsors for the 2022 Trolley Tour are: University of Illinois Cancer Center,
DCASE, CIBC Bank, Building Community Foundation and the Bronzeville Art District.
