SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture Series: D.L. Moody and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 12  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Steve Worsham  \nDwight L. Moody moved from Boston to Chicago as a teenager shortly before the start of the Civil War.  Moody achieved financial success in the shoe business but serving a Christian mission became his greater focus as he matured.  To that end\, Moody worked to meet the social and spiritual needs of orphaned children living on the streets of Chicago. \nWhen the Civil War started\,  Moody became heavily involved in the fledgling YMCA in Chicago. He eventually quit his job in order to minister to the children of Chicago and to support Union troops through the YMCA and the United States Christian Commission (USCC).  According to family records\, Moody traveled to nine battlefield sites\, arriving with either the YMCA or USCC to serve as a nurse\, transporter of supplies\, stretcher bearer\, substitute letter writer\, chaplain…whatever was needed in service of the troops. \nIn his talk\, Mr. Worsham will discuss the work of D.L. Moody with the YMCA and USCC war efforts\, particularly in Chicago and the Western Theater battlefields of the Civil War.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Transparent Watercolor Society of America's 48th Annual Juried Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:View the 80+ works of watercolor artists using a technique known as “transparent watercolor”. According to TWSA this technique is described as: “All watercolor pigments applied in a transparent manner allow light to penetrate the layers of glazes and reflect back through the pigments from the paper below. The whites are brilliant paper left unpainted. This light\, reflecting off the white of the paper\, makes the medium work.” \nOn view until August 4th.
