St. Mary of Perpetual Help Church has been proudly serving the Bridgeport community for over 130 years. Continuing in a tradition of Polish foundation, the parish community of today is a multicultural and diverse group, but united in faith of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ and service to one another in His name. Founded in 1882 as a Polish parish. It remained a parish for Polish workers in the Union Stockyards until the yards closed in the early 1970s. In recent years the neighborhood has seen a growth in new housing and has seen an influx of new residents of many backgrounds and cultures. St. Mary of Perpetual Help was built off the same plans as St. Casimir in Detroit in 1889, which was eventually razed.

Over the past decade the D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) movement has been steadily cultivating an expansive group of dedicated followers. Brought together by a commitment to shared principles, this handmade community has validated the act of individual creation not only as a socially conscious alternative to mainstream mass production, but also as a respectable means of expressing oneself both for pleasure and for profit. Successful businesses such as Etsy.com and Renegade Handmade have evolved out of this movement and continue to attract new buyers and sellers who appreciate the unique quality experience of crafting. The D.I.Y. movement is not limited to crafting exclusively, however. Burgeoning artists have benefited from building on the ideals of this community as well. Lowbrow art has seen a quiet explosion over the past 10 years, especially amongst those in their twenties and thirties. This demographic seems to gravitate towards the popular, often nostalgic themes of lowbrow art and appreciates the idea that someone "like them" created it. Again successful endeavors like Flatstock poster show and DeviantArt.com exemplify the popularity of digital art and screenprinting, two very prevalent lowbrow artforms, and reflect the significance that getting to know the artist plays within this movement. 50/50 The Blurring of Art and Craft attempts to explore the blurring of lines between artists and crafters. By highlighting the skill and expression of creativity found in both the art and craft worlds, we hope to encourage further support of local artists and D.I.Y. businesses and to facilitate a rethinking of the relationship between art and consumerism within our American corporate run culture.

Chinatown Square is a two-story outdoor mall located in Chinatown, Chicago, a mile (1.6 km) from the center of Chicago just North of the main Wentworth Avenue District (the main Chinatown Street). Chinatown Square, on 45acre of reclaimed land from a former railroad yard, houses mostly restaurants, retail space, boutiques, banks, clinics, beauty shops, and a handful of offices. This outdoor mall is the largest Chinese mall in the US east of San Francisco and west of New York City. In the middle of the mall, there are statues of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac from Xiamen, China. Other landmarks in the mall include twin pagodas.The mall opened in 1993 as a result of the efforts of Chinese activists who wanted more land from the city of Chicago. In the 1960s, Chinatown's land has been reduced due to the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/I-94) and the Stevenson Expressway (I-55). This created a problem of overcrowding and reduced the possibility of further expansion. On the present location of Chinatown Square, there was a large railroad yard in the 1980s. The conversion of this rail yard led to the creation of Chinatown Square, allowing for much needed commercial and residential expansion. New parks were created at the same time along the Chicago River. Chinatown Square was developed by the Chinese American Development Corporation.
