Join us at the opening night reception of the 2nd Annual Evanston Made BIPOC Members Group Show on Friday, June 2, 5-8pm. Free and open to all, enjoy light refreshments and marvelous company! Click here to RSVP.
The exhibition will showcase art created by BIPOC artists in response to racial labeling and self-identifying. Works are not limited to self-portraiture and feature 2D, 3D, multimedia and installation works.
Evanston Made continues to bring visibility to BIPOC artists in our community with annual Group Shows and opportunities for BIPOC artists to build community with one another. The BIPOC Annual Group Show, started in 2022, was born out of Evanston Made’s “Equity & Inclusion” discussions. We committed to increasing membership for BIPOC members to 15% and to creating opportunities designed specifically for BIPOC artists. The BIPOC Group Show serves as a membership drive for the organization and addresses the growing interest of art collectors in the region who are passionate about supporting BIPOC artists. Evanston Made plans to host events to connect BIPOC artists to new collectors and patrons.
Evanston Art Center has partnered with Evanston Made to host Annual Group Shows featuring Members' work since 2017.
