Friday Night Flora: South Side Show Features Plant Art and Edible Flowers

Art fans can turn over a new leaf at tonight's event — presented by the Ground Level Platform space in Pilsen — that pairs plants as art and flowers as food. The event, titled Another Taste II, will take place from 6-10 pm at 2001 S. Halsted, and will feature edible flowers.
This episode of a multi-part series is held in conjunction with the Plant Show, a group exhibition of plant art maximally presented within an environment of live plants. The Plant Show features artists from 10 institutions of higher education plus self-taught artists.
The event also is an opportunity to kick off your shoes... literally: Ground Level Platform is a shoes-off space. There also will be a closing reception at the same location on Friday, July 26 from 6-10 pm. For more information about this and other shows, visit Ground Level Platform
