> Saturday October 3 1-3pm – Blind Service Association and Statue Stories Chicago present Family Day at “The Bean” in Millennium Park
> Blind Service Association and Statue Stories Chicago <http://www.statuestorieschicago.com/partners.php> are teaming together to present Family Day. Blind and visually impaired youth and their families are invited on a special tour of Chicago’s exciting new art project that gives voices to some of the city’s most beloved statues. Join us at 1pm at the east side of “The Bean” in Millennium Park. Elizabeth Downs, spokesperson for Statue Stories Chicago, will guide us south on Michigan Avenue and give her insights on the monologues performed by Chicago actors, like David Schwimmer. Each pre-recorded monologue offers a unique and non-visual way to interact with “The Bean”, the lions in front of the Art Institute, and many more statues. This exclusive event is the only tour planned in partnership with Sing London, the artists group behind Statue Stories. The tour is a leisurely one mile walk with refreshments. A smartphone, preferably with a QR reader app (these apps are available for free), is required to access the monologues. For more information or to RSVP, call Bill Green at 312-236-0808.
