art. works.
May 3 – June 15
Artist Reception: May 17, 5:30 – 8:00 pm
The art. works. exhibit is presented as a showcase, or meta-exhibit, to highlight the many ways in which TAC connects with the community and provides access to the arts.
On the downstairs studio level, we are featuring the recently developed Project Gallery, introducing a new Artists-in-Residence program featuring artist bari wieselman schulman. Along the studio level, you will find children’s art from classes that form constantly rotating displays, and the work of students from Arts of Life, an organization that works with artists with varying levels of physical and intellectual disabilities.
In the Meryl Levenstein Gallery, we are featuring the Non-Cooperative Group: artists who are each accomplished in their own careers and who come together weekly to form a community and learn from their peers. In this hallway, we are also displaying work from the Highland Park High School, whose students show immense promise and talent.
Our neighbors, Laughlin Gallery, introduce the for-profit aspect of arts in the community, and we include them in the Claire Cortesi Gallery to share how the area is developing into an arts and design district. We also are embracing the popularization of street art with One Wall at a Time in the Cindi Elkins Gallery, highlighting a mural designed specifically for TAC by Ruben Aguirre, and including the work of selected graffiti artists. This exhibit is also a preview of the upcoming International Mural Festival to be held in Highwood this June.
Additionally, TAC is celebrating the work of artist Adam Siegel. His boundary-breaking work, here exhibited as Adam Siegel: Works, completes the cycle. A consummate professional, Adam’s work explores what it means to be human in this confusing age, to create a dialogue between the mundane and the spiritual, providing a ‘deep dive’ into completely new works. Here we have an artist who is combining mastery of materials, personal growth, confidence, and curiosity.
As a group, this ‘meta-exhibit’ tells the story of the arts in this institution, meeting the community wherever they are in their journey, living into the mission of being a home for artistic discovery and creative exploration.
For the visitor, we suggest you visit each exhibit as if you are traveling from one distinct gallery to another only to find, in the end, the through-line of the exhibit: the need to make art accessible to all, to enrich the spirit and feed the soul.
