Ernie Baumann, Maywood Arts Champion, Dies at 87
Alongside his wife, Lois, Baumann built Maywood Fine Arts into the premier cultural and arts education nonprofit for Greater West Side youth
The Greater West Side
The Greater West Side is a section featuring interesting people, places, and issues animating life in communities just west of The Culture’s immediate coverage area of Austin, North Lawndale, and Garfield Park. Those communities—from nearby Oak Park west to Berkeley, a small suburb on the edge of Cook County—are what constitute the Greater West Side. If you reside in the west suburbs and have interesting story ideas and pitches you’d like us to consider, send them to stories@ourculture.us.
