Open House Oak Park & River Forest
September 12, 2015 |
On September 12, 2015 select area cultural civic organizations and historic buildings are opening their doors to the public for free. At varied time slots throughout the day, area buildings, attractions and cultural institutions will have free tours, performances, and docents available to give our community the inside scoop. Area attractions such as the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, Pleasant Home, Hemingway’s Birth Home and the Oak Park Art League’s historic gallery space are just a few of the locations participating in the 2015 Open House Oak Park & River Forest.
Open House Oak Park & River Forest is currently seeking volunteers to direct area visitors on September 12 and to help spread the word before this inaugural event. Interested volunteers can sign up at the website: OpenHouseOPRF.com.
Through Dominican Business School’s Community Leadership program Oak Parker’s Heidi Ruehle May of Pleasant Home, Tom Gull with Frank Lloyd Wright Trust and Sarah Corbin of the Oak Park River Forest Chamber of Commerce have developed this project in fulfillment of course responsibilities and to help promote area cultural experiences.
“With the support of the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation and the Communityworks partnership, Dominican University’s Brennan School of Business offers a Community Leadership Program (CLP) that targets the professional and personal development of emerging and existing leaders in the Oak Park and River Forest area. Over a nine-month period, program participants work with Brennan facilitators and dozens of experts in various venues to discuss and enhance their skills in various leadership areas. In addition to building a network of contacts within the communities, the participants also form teams to work on developing projects that will benefit the communities.”
