At this critical turning point in society — with the magnified intersections of health, psychological and physical well-being, and systemic violence, prejudice, and injustice — the Chicago Brewseum is all the more committed to our communities.

This August, we are pleased to join efforts with the social service nonprofit Sacred Transformations to host Libations, an innovative four week series that addresses the ceremonial and celebratory functions of beverages and drinking as well as the negative consequences of over consumption and addiction.

Presented in conjunction with The Libations Exhibition opening in Michigan City, Indiana on August 1st, this series of talks compliments the exhibition which features over 60 works of art produced by a diverse body of artists throughout Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicagoland area. As beer is more than just a beverage that has the power to bring people together and the ability to make change, creating art has the power to heal, transform, and build community. We invite you to join us.
