Halo-Halo Project Exhibit, featuring House of Nurses Display

The exhibit is open to the public until January 2026. Visit the Harold Washington Library, 400 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60605.

A closing ceremony of final tours of the exhibit will be held on Sat., Jan. 17, 2026 from 2-4 p.m. in the Ida B. Wells Gallery on the main floor of the library.

Part of a Filipino cultural exhibit of artwork and history from local artists called "The Halo-Halo Project," the display draws from the book, "House of Nurses: An American Journey." 

Author Angel Abcede will be available at the library during the 2-4 p.m. closing celebration.

Mr. Abcede will also provide information about a larger Filipino Nurses' Exhibit he's working on with the Filipino American National Historical Society - Greater Chicago Chapter and Circa Pintig, a regional Filipino theater ensemble. The last days of the Halo-Halo Project will serve as a kickoff drive for "artifacts" and donations that will make up that expanded exhibit. The final presentation will debut at the International Museum of Surgical Sciences on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago on May 1, 2026, during Nurses' Month.
