About the Chicago Cultural Center
The remarkable landmark structure was completed in 1897 as the city's first permanent main library. Constructed to be "an enduring monument worthy of a great and public spirited city," in the words of the founding library board, the "people's palace," as the building has come to be known, is a testament to the foresight of Chicago's turn-of-the-century cultural leadership.
Today this magnificent building, recently cleaned and restored to its original splendor, is the civic venue that links the arts community and the general public. It became the nation's first free municipal cultural center in 1991 when the Chicago Public Library moved into its new home at the Harold Washington Library Center, 400 South State Street.

| Bob Garfield and JJ Sedelmaier will present the 2009 NYF Lifetime Achievement Award to Joe Sedelmaier |
Born in 1933 in Orrville, Ohio, Sedelmaier graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago. He began his career as an Art Director for Young & Rubicam and J. Walter Thompson in Chicago.
Starting his own production company in 1967, Sedelmaier built an international reputation for his highly prized direction of humorous television commercials for such clients as Federal Express (including the "Fast Talking Man"), Alaska Airlines, Mr. Coffee, Aamco, Avis (Great Britain), Tang (France), and the creation of the famous "Where's the Beef" commercial for Wendy's. Bob Garfield and J.J. Sedelmaier will introduce Joe Sedelmaier and present the Lifetime Achievement Award to him.
New York Festivals is proud to honor Mr. Sedelmaier, winner of numerous NYF awards, with a NYF Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Chicago Gala.
A genuine salute, for a genuine genius.
