2006 EVENT CALENDAR   (Dates/Times Subject to Change)

I would like to thank the City of Highland Park for welcoming us into their community. You have helped Anatomically Correct further its mission to showcase the work of talented artists in unique and alternative spaces. Along with the artists, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the participating merchants for allowing artwork to be displayed in their storefront windows, and Gallery 60035 for donating their exhibition space. A special thank you to our corporate sponsors, committee members, volunteers and to jurors Robert Sliwinski and Paul Klein for their time and efforts in jurying the artwork. We thank you for your community support and are looking forward to making this an annual event.
