14 SUNDAY A father’s Chinatown storefront, a candid shot of a smiling child hanging off of a broken phone booth–these are a couple of the images chosen by students in the Marwen Foun-dation’s documentary photography course to represent their neighborhoods. Their work, along with that of the program’s mentor, photographer Ron Gordon, makes up the new exhibit Seeing the Unseen: Photographs by Ron Gordon and Marwen Students. The opening is today from 3:30 to 6 at the Hyde Park Art Center, 5307 S. Hyde Park (773-324-5520). Admission is free; the exhibit runs through April 28.
17 WEDNESDAY Arbor Day isn’t until April 30, but that’s not soon enough for the Ravenswood citizens whose trees were devastated by the Asian longhorn beetle. Tonight experts from the Morton Arboretum will give advice on how to select, plant, and care for replacement trees at a workshop called Beyond the Beetle: New Trees for Ravenswood. It’s from 7 to 9 at Conrad Sulzer Regional Library, 4455 N. Lincoln (312-744-7616). The same workshop takes place at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 4300 N. Winchester, on Sunday, March 14, from 3 to 5. Call 630-719-5768 for more.
