Flirtatious, amusing, and undeniably blunt greeting cards by NEIU Sociology student Simone A. Bruch filled a rented space at this year’s Glenwood Ave Arts Fest. Bruch and her friend Eti Berland have loved greetings cards, and have been creating their own under the name ‘ironwoman cards.’ The Glenwood Ave Arts Fest was held in Chicago’s Rogers Park community. Over 50 businesses and organizations came together to sponsor the event. The festival was complete with interactive artwork for the kids, and the lovable puppet bike. Patrons were able to shop, enjoy live music and even have a $10 chair massage by one of the massage therapists of Rogers Park Center for Massage Therapy.
