One Hundred Years of Old Town Art & Design: The World of Edgar Miller in A Total Work of Art

About this event

Adults: 18 and up, Teens: 13 to 19 years. Jeff Kruse, Director of Operations of Edgar Miller Legacy and scriptwriter for the newly published graphic novel A Total Work of Art, will present on the life and times of the prolific, twentieth century Near North Side Chicago artist Edgar Miller, as well as give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the fully illustrated biography of the artist.
