Finding Meaning in Historic Photographs, March 16, 1-2 pm
The Evanston History Center is partnering with the Evanston Art Center on an exhibition, “Picturing Community: Stories in Photographs.” Photographs from the Evanston History Center archives tell a story of Evanston’s growth as a community. The Evanston Art Center issued a call for artists to submit contemporary images of our city inspired by these photographs.
Exhibiting Artists: Todd Anderson, Richard Cahan, Marilyn Crocker, Mike Ennis, Ian Finley, Janice Kazmier, and Jordan Scott.
The exhibition, located in the Second Floor Galleries at the Evanston Art Center, showcases the historic and contemporary photographs together to illustrate the commonalities we share, as well as the changes.
In addition to the exhibition, a small exhibit of vintage cameras will run concurrently at the Evanston History Center and will be available for viewing during their public hours, Thursday – Sunday, 1:00 – 4:00. Admission is $10.
