ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
I am drawn to the beauty and colorful aspects of life. Even in difficult times, beautiful color surrounds us as a reminder to live life to the fullest. My connection to family, tradition, Mexican culture, and femininity is my inspiration for this collection of works. Our experiences of sorrow, learning, connection, everything that forms our being is a complex and colorful collection of moments. Moments that can be interpreted in different ways by each of us.
This sense of complexity and beauty also lives in the design of Bell Works, where Mexican modernism is woven throughout the public spaces. Lead Designer and Creative Director Paola Zamudio draws inspiration from artists Josef and Anni Albers, whose love of color and travels through Latin America shine in through their work. Their legacy—rooted in a respect for indigenous craftsmanship, geometric abstraction, and the balance between tradition and modernity—resonates in the spaces found here.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Cristina Colunga Ramírez studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has worked in various mediums including acrylic and oil on canvas, watercolor, ceramic, large scale sculpture, video and mixed media. Her work centers on themes related to femininity, spirituality and her Mexican heritage. Vibrant color, movement, emotion are often present in her pieces. Cristina is passionate about sharing her work with her community , she has conducted classes in libraries, schools and nonprofits for adults and children. Her work ranges from private commissions to public artwork. She has exhibited mainly in the Chicagoland area.Reserve your spot here!

Bell Theater presents: Marc Ribler and Friends: A Folk Rock Retrospective
2025-11-07 19:30 - 21:30
Join us at Bell Theater on Friday November 7 for Marc Ribler and Friends: A Folk Rock Retorspective.
In 1961 Bob Dylan burst upon the Greenwich Village folk music scene. By 1965, he single-handedly changed the course of modern music with his “electric” performance at The Newport Folk Festival. The Byrds quickly followed and exploded on the scene with their version of “Turn Turn Turn” and Bob’s song “Mr. Tambourine Man” and their very unique vocal sound, which included David Crosby and Roger McGuinn. Roger also brought the Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar to the forefront, which went on to influence great bands, like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. After booking a tour to England in 1966, Bob chose The Hawks to be his backing band and renamed them “The Band.” This began the next incredible chapter as one of the most influential bands in rock history.
Join us for an incredibly diverse and dynamic musical celebration of the most influential of all modern songwriters, Bob Dylan, and his offspring that took over the world in the heart of the ’60s.
