Prague Days in Chicago
June, 2015, Chicago celebrated 25 years of the Prague-Chicago relationship as part of Chicago Sister Cities International program. The celebration featured the mayors of both cities, concerts, exhibitions, a gala dinner, and a review of the history of the Czechs who made their homes in Chicago.
One of the events was the exhibition “Treasured Legacy – Alphonse Mucha and Jarmila Mucha Plocková”, curated by art historian Rolf Achilles. As part of this exhibition, there was unveiling of the sculpture “Nature”, which was originally created by Alphonse Mucha, and recreated recently by his granddaughter Jarmila Mucha Plocková in cooperation with Prague sculptor Peter Nižňanský.

Sculptor Peter Nižňanský was in Chicago and had expressed his desire to meet with some Chicago sculptors.
So here we organized a trip to [1] Karpowicz Studio and [2] Vector Fabricating.
This one day, two studios visits included: sculptor Peter Nižňanský, his daughter Anna Nižňanský, wife of Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Chicago Katerina Lizcova Kulhankova, art historian Rolf Achilles, sculptors Terry Karpowicz, sculptor Boyan Marinov, and the Vector team of Barry Hehemann, Mike Wilkie and me!
