Coverings Welcomes Chicago-area Partners to Expand Creative Program
ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Coverings, the largest global tile and stone exposition in North America, has partnered with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and Chicago Mosaic School to develop unique programs that investigate the use of tile as a medium for creative design. Coverings attendees will have the opportunity to view an exhibition of tiled benches, designed and built by students from SAIC and participate in interactive educational classes presented by the Chicago Mosaic School when the show takes place April 18th to 21st at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.
"Partnerships with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Mosaic School not only allow Coverings to support the dynamic creative landscape in Chicago, but also provide opportunities for Coverings attendees to think about tile and stone materials in unexpected ways," said Karin Fendrich, Coverings show director. "These programs challenge both future and current tile and stone industry professionals to truly understand just what these materials are capable of producing for design projects and how their qualities are best utilized from a technical standpoint."
