| | Past Shows: | _______________________________________________ Mark Flores and Friends | February 6th - March 4th, 2009 River North Location - 217 W. Huron St., Chicago Mark Anthony Flores, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, started his artistic career at an early age through graffiti. He quickly learned that expressing himself on canvas is much more profitable and much less risky. He created his first canvas in college where he dabbled in art while getting his degree in Media and Communications. After graduating Mark began his career in media, working for a variety of Hispanic media outlets including the Chicago Tribune's Spanish Newspaper, Hoy. Soon after, the United Neighborhood Organization recruited him to serve as the head of the communications department. Mark currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Illinois and as the Chairman/Commissioner of the Commission on Human Relations for the City of Chicago. Mark is also the owner/founder of m?rk productions, an upscale Latino event promotions company. Though he began painting in college, he never received classical training in art. As a self taught artist he began showing his work at local restaurants and clubs. He has done shows for the National Museum of Mexican Art where he displayed his work in an installation for the Day of the Dead exhibit in 2007.
