Welcome back to Monday! We missed you, but we know you would probably rather be in bed than in the office. Luckily we have got some great things for you to do today that will make you feel like the weekend is still here. If you live in the Chicago area, then this one is perfect for you and the best part is that everything is free of charge. Check it out below!
See The Chicago Twelve Exhibit At The Garfield Park Observatory
As an exhibition space, the Garfield Park Conservatory presents unique possibilities and challenges. This exhibition of sustainable art, curated by Sergio Gomez, features a dozen local artists presenting works made of everything from traffic cones to dead trees to baling wire. The pieces vary in how successfully they work within the various greenhouses. Works that more subtly announce their presence have greater impact; there’s enough quiet, abstract beauty in this show to counterbalance the more obtrusive works.

Visit The Steve McQueen Exhibit At The Art Institute Chicago
Steve McQueen is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work is primarily engaged with moving images. Born in London in 1969, he has, over the last twenty years, made a series of film and video installations designed for gallery-based presentation, along with two feature films made for cinematic release. His efforts in these two distinct, but interrelated, arenas have earned him a reputation as one of the most important and influential artists of his generation working with these media, and beyond.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Read Your Monthly Credit Card Statements
If you are using a credit card you should read your statements when they arrive every month. It’s a good habit to keep all charge receipts. Put them into a folder when you get home from shopping. When your statement arrives, check the statement against the receipts. This way you can make sure that all of the charges are yours. You also can account for the charges by categories in your budget rather than by having one large expense called “credit card.”
