Water Street Studios' Dempsey Family Gallery will be hosting its latest art exhibit titled, "Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespeare."

This popular show, curated by Anne Farley Gaines, Robert Kameczura, and Maureen Warren, was first exhibited in 2012 and features a collection of works by nearly 50 Chicago-area artists inspired by the poetry and plays of William Shakespeare.

The Shakespeare show has been displayed in a number of venues throughout the region and was also one of many arts presentations in Chicago in 2016 that commemorated the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.

During the opening night reception, you'll get to meet a number of the artists while also enjoying live music, free food by Gaetano's Batavia, a cash bar featuring beer from Solemn Oath Brewery and wine provided by Bright Angel wines.

The opening reception for "Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespeare" will be 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 14. The exhibit will continue until Aug. 5.

Christine Willett will display a selection of her photographs at the Kane County Chronicle gallery, on the second floor at Water Street Studios.

The show will be on view during regular gallery hours: 1 to 9 p.m. Friday; and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, at 160 S. Water St. in Batavia.
