Chicago's Fine Arts Building with Author Keir Graff

Author Keir Graff discusses his recently published book *Chicago's Fine Arts Building: Music, Magic, and Murder*, a look behind the scenes of the historic cultural hub that was originally conceived as a space for the city's working artists. He covers the building's immediate success and the long, slow decline brought by the Great Depression, then opens up about his writing process. The program takes place Friday afternoon, August 21, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM at the Harold Washington Library Center in the Loop. Graff will sell copies of the book afterward. A Read & Run program precedes this event for those who want to run and discuss the book before hearing from the author. Registration is required; accessibility requests need at least 14 business days' notice.
