Public Events

GAME NIGHT is a series of gatherings hosted by Chicago artist and rare game collector Josue Pellot. Selected guests were invited to play rare board games such “Capital Punishment” from 1981 and “What Shall I be? The Exciting Game of Career Girls” from 1966, at DePaul Art Museum. The games dissect social systems and structures and the main objective is to stimulate conversations throughout generations and identities of Chicago residents. GAME NIGHT challenges people to engage with topics that are taboo, to have healthy discourse through entertainment with enlightenment and education being the end goal.

The recorded games will be released on Wednesday, July 28 on DPAM’s YouTube Channel.

To kick off the last weekend of LatinXAmerican, join us for an all-ages closing party! DPAM will host family-friendly crafts, an outdoor dance party with music by DJ CQQCHIFRUIT, and tours of the exhibition with some of its featured artists. This event will take place throughout the museum with outdoor dancing and snacks in DePaul University’s Parking Lot D (located on the south side of the Fullerton Red/Brown/Purple line “El” tracks between the museum and Wish Field).

*Visitor parking can be found on the surrounding streets or in the Sheffield Parking Garage near Whole Foods.
