Screening the Local, Historical, and Surreal
Through informal discussion, the Evanston Art Center was fortunate enough to connect with Thomas Comerford and Melika Bass for a filmscreening of Indian Boundary Line, 2010 and Shoals, 2011. The Evanston Art Center’s Education Program is honored to present two films that we feel connect to our local cultural heritage and explores the idea of imagined history in the Midwestern landscape.

Night Sky Opening Reception
Our summer 2012 exhibition, Night Sky, looks to the heavens for inspiration. Humans have used the night sky to navigate, mark the passage of time, and impart meaning to their lives for thousands of years. As technology has advanced, our connection to the night sky has atrophied—not simply because we have gained greater control of our environment, but also because we no longer can see the Milky Way and many constellations due to light pollution.
Summer Youth Fine Arts Classes and Camps
Regster now! Summer classes begin June 11 and camps July 23 for ages 4 through 18. Now open for registration.
The Art Center's quality arts education summer program immerses children in the exciting world of contemporary art. Children learn to understand and appreciate the arts through hands-on art making in various media, viewing the exhibitions in our galleries, and learning valuable skills from our teaching artits.
The arts will enahnce your child's creativity, critical thinking skills, imagination, and self-esteem. And it's a lot of fun.
A Program on Art, Dialogue, and Action
In the coming year, the Evanston Art Center plans to present several educational programs designed to engage the audience in conversations about contemporary art, social practice, and other topics relevant to our communities. We encourage you to join us.
