Tishman Speyer makes space for Art

Tishman Speyer and Arts of Life in collaboration with Torque announce a new inspiring art installation by artist Tim Stone at The Franklin. Starting on June 15, every Tuesday-Thursday from 11:00am-1:00pm, the public is invited to view this limited-time exhibit, welcoming people back to the Loop this summer with a fresh dose of vibrant color.

Arts of Life advances the creative arts community by providing artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities a collective space to expand their practice and strengthen their leadership.  The exhibit at the Franklin will showcase artist Tim Stone?s work of abstract paintings, sculptures and collaborative projects.  The retail space on Franklin and Monroe became the perfect canvas for Tim Stone?s vision.

Tim Stone grew up in Park Ridge, IL, where he began sketching his first subject, Mickey Mouse, at the age of five. He soon grew beyond recreating others? images, and began exploring abstract image-making. Tim later joined Arts of Life, bringing his seemingly unlimited energy to drawing, painting, collaborative projects, and sculpture. He is an active member of the curatorial committee, assisting with the selection and display of various local and national artists at Circle Contemporary.

For many years, Tishman Speyer has worked with artists to create communal experiences for its commercial customers. Arts of Life and Tishman Speyer have found a shared passion for reaching people and nurturing communities through the richness of artistic expression. This collaboration at The Franklin is meant to bring people, talent, and spaces together to make connections and kindle the imagination.
