Union League Club

The Brigantine was lucky enough to have two of it's resident artists chosen to exhibit their works at the prestigious Union League Club of Chicago recently. Both artists sold very well and had beautiful, well attended shows.

The following pictures are from the evening of the artist's receptions. They include the George Ceffalio (November) and C. L. Smith (December) one man Art Shows.
