Hey #Chicago fam! Can't wait for tomorrow's @chi.shooters x @theimaged pres: #TheRealChicago Benefit Gallery at @360chicago! We'll be featuring works from some of Chicago's finest photographers and auctioning off their prints with proceeds going towards @afterschoolmatters - an organization that provides low-income children in Chicago with academic enrichment via out-of-school activities in arts, communication, sports, science and technology. Bring a USB with your favorite shot as there'll be live/on-site prints done courtesy of @photoinnovationlab and @moabpaper! And to kick things off, we're hosting a photography workshop/talk with @phives and @_alexqian an hour beforehand (5pm-6pm) where food/drinks will be provided - less than 10 tickets left for that so be sure to lock yours in ASAP. The workshop ticket also grants you access to the main gallery from 6pm-10pm. GA space will be limited and those tickets are going fast as well (link in bio). ----- Flyer: @maxwbender (at 360 CHICAGO) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2oxoXuAUdB/?igshid=1i7kv4x9ng59t

"It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. There would be no rainbows without sunshine and rain."⁣ ⁣ Yesterday was a cloudy, rainy day so I brought my own sunshine to @360chicago for their super fun preview event. Turns out, I didn't need to worry because they already had it covered with these gorgeous rainbow pillows! ⁣ ⁣ We had a wonderful time exploring the different neighborhoods partnering with 360 Chicago this year, relishing the views from the 94th floor observation deck, sampling tasty local eats and drinks (I'm looking at you, @kovaldistillery and @georgeremusbourbon ), and experiencing the Tilt (5 times in a row? Yes please!). Thanks so much to my friends at @chicagogrammers for sharing this fun event! ⁣ ⁣ #qcadventures #360chicago #therealchicago #bringyourownsunshine #rainbowstyle #liveacolorfullife #plussizestyle #colorfulstyle #colorqueen #chicagogrammers #chicagogirl #pinkhair #positivevibes #goodvibesonly #loveyourself (at 360 CHICAGO) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4E-5jgpWb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6ctbl5rt6kvn
