Oct 30, 2015

by Matt Baron
He hadn't been to his native Oak Park in a decade, so when artist Matthew James Collins recently made the journey back from his adopted home of Florence, Italy, he made every moment count.
Among the spots on his packed itinerary: the opening of a show featuring his work at a Chicago art gallery, a workshop at the Oak Park Art League, a lecture at the Oak Park Public Library, and an interview for a feature segment on the Village of Oak Park's Channel 6.
