Chicago, IL USA: As a 34-year Occupant, Resident and Promoter of The Arts, I interrupt your unusually hectic Day to personally invite you to make it even busier still. “Why?” you ask. Well, the Reason (of utmost importance) is to cordially invite you to Chicago sometime soon (by Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at the very latest) to experience and touch:

Kurt Perschke’s Red Ball Project
redballproject.com

That is…for lack of a better Term…to:

“Paint The Town Red”

Sponsored by Target (the Second Biggest Retailer in America that gives 5% of its Income back to Communities which equates to $12,000,000 per Month),

‘KP’s Ball is having a Ball’ traveling The World.

Check out its Passport as LaBall’s been a-ROUND (Pun intended) and has probably accrued more ‘Frequent Flyer Miles’ than the Presidential Candidates have! RB: RedBall has been a Welcomed Visitor at bustling Locales & Landmark (Arenas) in:

Arizona,
Barcelona,
St. Louis,
Korea,
Portland and
Sydney, Australia

to date and now is residing in ‘Sweet Home, Chicago’ – the Windy City, where the Weather has been on the ‘Sunny Side of Awesome’ for its Stay. Even the Weather is cooperating which makes ‘The R-Experience all the finer, especially for those Photographers, Watercolorists and Oil Painters who find ‘RB’ (RedBall) a colorful Subject (or Object dArt as Connoisseurs coin the term).

It’s a General Confirmation that Public Art Displays are The People’s Favorite here. RedBall fits in with that Dynamic in a Number of Authentic Ways that you will find out about once you see it.

Because Chicago is ‘The Hub and Crossroads of America’ (after all, you have to refuel here in order to get from Los Angeles to New York City), there’s no better time than ‘The Present’ to make Chicago your Autumn Destination to ‘Catch The Ball’ – although that is an Impossibility since The Sculpture is 15 Feet Tall and breaks The Scale at 250 Pounds. You can try though. There’s Miles of Footage taken showing People doing ‘just that!’

YOUR ASSIGNMENT IF YOU SO ACCEPT: Send one of your Staff Members to report on THE BALL. Make it a Family Outing. Art of this Nature is only appearing once. As a City, Chicago is over 170 years old and this is a colorful First. And you ‘RED’ about it here.

TO ADD TO THE THRILL: Here are the Top 5 Online WebSites to gather up more Info besides my Blogs (listed at the Close of this Piece) that have been tracing RedBall’s Steps + Stops since its 2ND Event:
