Take a moment and reflect upon the subtle beauty engrained, yet almost always overlooked, in our busy, urban environment.  From now until March 2, the Bezazian Library (1226 W. Ainslie Street, 60640) is proud to present the exhibition, William Moore: Uptown CTA in Transition, 2012.

Witness photographs by Chicago artist and urban explorer, William Moore, depicting the Berwyn and Argyle Chicago Transit Authority’s Red Line stations pre- and post-production of last year’s renovation project.

Check out this interview with Dr. Mark E. Lococo, Loyola’s own, and Vice President of the Association for Theatre in High Education as he gives his thoughts on the value of arts education. A theatre education can not only add value to a college experience, but also benefit future employment opportunities.
