Art Institute Offering Roy Lichtenstein-Inspired Date Night

Roy Lichtenstein, American (1923-1997). The Ring (Engagement), 1962. Oil on canvas. 121.9 x 177.8 cm (48 x 70 in). © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. Stefan T. Edlis Collection.

The Art Institute is giving away pretty much the perfect date night (in our opinion). Head over to the museum's website and write a few sentences about how Roy Lichtenstein's art captures a moment from your life. And since the artist's subjects range from comics to hot dogs to washing machines, you probably don't have to think too hard to find a connection to your life.

In a couple weeks museum staff will pick their favorite, and the winner gets a guided tour of Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective and dinner for two at Terzo Piano, which sounds like a great evening, even if you bring a platonic pal.

In case you missed it, we saw the retrospective a few weeks ago and offered our thoughts here.
