Arts Features

After thirty years in the Chicago advertising industry, longtime Fox Valley resident Nick Freeman is dedicating all of his time to doing what he loves--painting local scenes that catch his eye, and also documenting Chicago-area neon signs--an art form that he says is disappearing quickly.  Through the end of the month, Freeman's lifetime of works are being featured in a two-floor show called "The Wine of Life" at The Norris Cultural Arts Center in Saint Charles.  The show is the first of its kind in the Norris Gallery's 36-year history.  WFMT's Matt DeStefano brings us the story in this week's Arts Feature.
