PPG rolls out new web site design

Your soaking in it!  After months of deliberation, discussion and diatribes, we finally decided on this elegant web site design and Karelia's Sandvox as our web site maintenance software.  Along with the new design comes new content, telling you more about us in a more timely manner and in a manner more consistent with who we are.  But don't take our marketing department's word for it: cruise around the new site and let us know what you think!  And please remember that despite the months of palaver and lay out, there's still lots of unfinished bits and construction noise, so stop back often to see how things shape up.

Reception at The Mercury Cafe

Come join us for a gala mid run reception at the Mercury Cafe!

Gallery to close, Pilsen Photo Group to continue

The Pilsen Photo Group's Gallery, currently located at 1839 s. Halsted will close it's doors January 31st. Citing increasing operating expenses at the current location and seasonally low turnout for the winter openings, the PPG has decided to close it's Gallery. "You can't ask your landlord for a fair weather lease," said Acting PPG director Hairball, "we need to step back and reasses what kind and how much space we need, versus what we can afford."

Director Hairball went on to say "This doesn't mark the end of the PPG, just a transition while we regroup."
