Here, There: New Perspectives on the Collection
November 7, 2024 - February 22, 2025
Here, There: New Perspectives on the Collection is a guest-curated exhibition featuring modern and contemporary artworks from the Illinois State Museum. Three guest curators, Mariela Acuña, Sheridan Tucker Anderson, and Allison Lacher were invited to explore and bring a fresh perspective to the museum’s nearly 100-year-old collection of Illinois and regional artists. Their curatorial projects speak to themes of nostalgia, home, belonging, and sites of history in American art. Learn more here.
