Here are some events happening from July 5 to 11 in the Chicago suburbs and Northwest Indiana.
New exhibit
A new exhibit called “Grid Luck” is on display from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday through Oct. 6 at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn. Tickets are free. At 425 Fawell Blvd. 630-942-2321; theccma.org.
Chicago-based artist Alberto Aguilar explores a grid’s role in art. Drawing inspiration from the COD’s permanent art collection, the exhibit reimagines the materials and spaces within the museum, leading to the creation of new site-specific works. The installations will be accompanied by original photographs, drawings and paintings that use both a formal and conceptual grid in their creation.
