Welcome to November, arts fans! While we’re sad that the most popular day of costuming is over, this new month has plenty of exciting events in store for Loyola Arts. Remember to keep your calendars open!

We Just Clicked: A Visual Arts Alumni Exhibition runs through November 9. See the professional, post-graduate work of four alumni: Elizabeth Tornabene, Eric Steigerwald, Megan Nutley, and Justin Schnor. This exhibition is free and open to the public.
Into the Woods is Loyola’s mainstage opener and only musical of the academic year. Performances run from November 3-13. Tickets can be purchased online at LUC.Tix.com.

LUMA (Loyola University Museum of Art) is having its first ever benefit art sale! All proceeds from the November 2 festivities will go to supporting LUMA’s mission of exploring art’s illumination of spiritual questions from all cultures and societies.
Events will begin at 6PM with a silent auction and cocktails, followed by a live auction at 7:30PM and finally the Backroom Bazaar which guarantees a patron an unique piece of art to take home (with the purchase of an additional $50 ticket) at 8:30PM.
A public onsite preview will take place October 31-November 2 in addition to an online preview.
Tickets may be purchased online or by calling Mary Arhondonis, Events Coordinator, at 312.915.7608. Despite tickets being $100 or $150 per pair, all but $30 per ticket is tax deductible ($70 of the full single ticket; $90 of the $150 pair)!
This is a great opportunity to not only support a local museum but get some amazing artwork!
