Work from Don’t Fret has been popping over with frequency over the last couple of months in Chicago and now we know why! The hometown hero is prepping his first show in town in 2 years, entitled “Big Shoulders”, which opens Friday July 7th at Johalla Projects.
Always a proud Chicagoan Don’t Fret says “…from personal experience I’d like to believe we can still be “Hog Butcher To The World” and occasionally eat a salad. That we can stay true to who we are and also be capable of change. That while the stockyards may be closed the hard work doesn’t stop. So with that in mind, this summer I’d like to highlight some of the reasons I love dis here City By The Lake with a project both inside and out called ‘Big Shoulders’.”
