A message from: The Italian American Human Relations Foundation

A Message of Regret to Our Members:
Friends and supports,
The Executive Committee of the Italian American Human Relations Foundation is sorry to report that our plan to produce Venetian Night Chicago on the riverwalk is now CANCELLED for this year.
A series of unforeseen circumstances made it impossible to produce a quality, fun-filled event. Please know that we are already working on Venetian Night 2027 and will keep you informed of our progress.
If you prepaid for a VIP ticket online via PayPal, you have already been issued a refund via PayPal.
In the meantime, keep a look out for the details of our next Pasta & Neckbone Dinner Concert scheduled for October.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Off the Wall Art Exhibit sponsored by The Italian American Human Relations Foundation brought much color and talent to Chicago’s Cine City Studio this afternoon.
A fraternity of artists, illustrators, and children’s authors displayed finished pieces as well as works in progress. Handmade pieces by artisans included upscaled macrame, jewelry, miniature books, and hand painted watercolor notecards. The beauty of imagination and the artistic process created a lively and exciting atmosphere.

The Italian American Human Relations Foundation is excited to sponsor another upcoming arts event.
Children’s author, Maryann Pisano Dibari will also be in attendance introducing her new book “Mama Maria’s Sugo.”The book is beautifully written with lively illustrations for young children. It will surely spark curiosity and imagination.
