Inaugural Millenium Park Residency recipient Praize Productions, Inc. led by its CEO/Founder Ennerèssa LaNette will produce a one-of-a-kind photography installation entitled “The Rhythm Within Our Blues” in tandem with this year’s Chicago Blues Festival. This unique artistic development will incorporate life size photographs that depict the history and authentic culture of Blues music told through the lens of professional photographers of color from Chicago’s South Side. Photographers include Amber Green, Seed Lynn, and Tony Smith.

Festival goers will be engrossed with this exhibit as they are imaginatively transported to Bronzeville- Chicago’s Blues District while walking through and experiencing large images of historical landmarks, Blues’ artists, and much more. This new addition to the Blues Festival adds to the artistic richness and deep appreciation to Blues music and its greats.
