Engaging Tech-Talent with Contemporary Artists
Chuquimarca is excited to announce an artist-talk series at Uber Chicago HQ!
Cathy Hsiao is the first artist to be featured in this two part artist talk series. They will present their art practice to the Uber Chicago community on July 16, 2024.
Visiting Artist Series at Uber Chicago is an artist-talk program that invites visual artists to present their art practice at Uber’s Chicago headquarters in the historic Old Post Office building.
This series hopes to engage conversations about contemporary art in the tech space and to bridge relationships between tech-talent and working contemporary artists.
Part one of the series with visiting artist Cathy Hsiao is sponsored by Asian at Uber Chicago and Chuquimarca. Part two of the series will take place in September.
This artist-talk series is a private event.
