Excitement continues to build at Catholic Charities headquarters, in anticipation of the 12th Annual After Supper Visions Photography Exhibition this Friday, June 6th, from 5-7PM, continuing on Saturday, June 7, from 1-3PM. Catholic Charities is located at 721 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago and this event has become one of the signature Gallery Openings of the summer in Chicago.
Sixty-one artists will unveil their work. Forty-eight are returning artists, who will each have four prints on display. The artists sincerely look forward to meeting everyone who attends the exhibit to share insights, about their photos and about photography, in general.
Thirteen new artists will be on hand, as well, each with three prints on display. They have been grateful for the chance to learn from the returning artists, while attempting to make their own unique contribution to the show. Here is a sneak peek at beautiful photos taken by new artist Eric J., gorgeous images of downtown Chicago on a brilliant sunny day. Come meet Eric and his sixty fellow artists this Friday.
It is hard to believe that, in its 12th year, ASV artists have captured unique and powerful images of Chicago that have never been seen before. But it is true. This year, the sixty-one artists participating in this year’s ASV Photo Exhibition have stretched themselves to fantastic new levels of creativity and professional growth in the art of photography.
Sometimes the photos are sensational in their utter simplicity. Other times they are stark reminders of the majesty of Chicago’s architectural masterpieces, its signature lakefront and expansive natural settings. Of the sixty-one artists, 48 are Returning Artists and 13 are New Artists, who have also embraced the project and taken artistic risks enthusiastically.

They did it again. The ASV Photo Team took what was already a beautiful photo and made it even more compelling, creating this new, exciting version of the 2014 ASV Photo Exhibition invitation.

Plans are underway for the upcoming ASV Photo Gallery Exhibition on June 6th and 7th, held at Catholic Charities’ Chicago headquarters, 721 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago.
Artists are reviewing their developed photos to choose which ones they want to have featured in the exhibit. Artist statements and portraits are being taken, as well, so gallery attendees can get to know the artists as they come to appreciate their work.
Sales of photo prints and note cards continue on this website and we welcome all donations, which offset the cost of operating the exhibition and give the artists greater opportunities to expand their knowledge and expertise in photography.
The Legal Assistance program of Catholic Charities is the latest Visions corporate sponsor, purchasing a select group of ASV photos for their new offices.

The 2014 ASV Photo Exhibition on June 6th and 7th: Twelve Years Developing Film, Talent and Hope.
Catholic Charities and the After Supper Visions Photo Team are deeply grateful to ZipCar, Inc. for the generous donation of $1000, the proceeds from the recent “Feeding Local Art” campaign. Special thanks go to Marketing Manager Tony Paske who created and coordinated this innovative campaign from start to finish. The impressive results are as follows:
– Chicago artist Czr Prz created a fabulous, multi-colored work of art called Mccollam on one automobile, and his fellow artist George Berlin created a separate, distinct work of art called Isthmus, also using the blank canvas of an automobile.
– From November 22nd through January 6th, the two Art Cars were made available to Zipcar members in Chicago, one car in Wicker Park and the other in Lakeview.
-As Zipcar members reserved these autos, donations were tallied for ASV. More than 100 different members made 184 reservations. A total of 3,844 miles were driven across five different states, generating 350,000 visual impressions of the cars.
ASV is proud to have been partners with Zipcar, the Chicago Loop Alliance, Mr. Prz, Mr. Berlin and all of the Zipcar members who joined in Feeding Local Art through this groundbreaking, inspiring promotion. Thank you again!
