Women’s Events

Compassion Action Foundation in Chicago, an afternoon of Art History and Sisterhood.

We shared a wonderful experience at the Chicago Art Institute. The exhibit, Great Empires of Islam—An Introduction to Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Art. The majority of the attendees were artist, quilt makers, poets and and several bakers. The creativity was electric. To go back to the 1600 and hear and view the great work was just what these gifted women needed. They are planning the next event and looking forward to more opportunities of inspiration.
