PALETTE AND PALATE

An art exhibition celebrating Chicago, its artists, and one of the city’s most unique and beloved artist-run spaces of the mid-twentieth century, Riccardo’s Restaurant and Gallery, once called the Montmartre of the Midwest. On view from September 6 through December 16, 2022, Palette and Palate features paintings depicting Chicago street scenes from the Madron collection alongside The Seven Lively Arts, a group of seven enormous paintings by seven Chicago artists commissioned by Ric Riccardo in 1947 to hang behind his palette-shaped bar at 437 N. Rush St.
