Medicine Park Needs a Home
The Ukrainian Village art gallery Medicine Park needs a new home, after resident and co-owner Amy Cargill received an eviction notice over the weekend. The gallery's receptions -- the most recent was Friday night's opener for painter Ruth Ann Borum -- have stirred up a few complaints about noise from neighbors, making the current site at 2659 W. Chicago unsustainable as a commercial venue. Cargill and Med Park co-owner Jackie Keothavy aren't ready to call it quits on the gallery, however -- especially given that they have shows booked through the fall. "If anyone knows of anything, any space, any wealthy patrons of the arts, or grand ideas of collaboration, let's talk!," Cargill says.
