Artz, one of our EAC Interns, writes about his first day at the Art Center and artwork by Marzena Ziejka in the Evanston + Vicinity Biennial, on view from August 23 - September 21, 2025:
I go by the name Artz which is my last name. Of course I am going to have a passion for art which I try to make and analyze within my life. I like most art but I always try to find the most unique piece.
The Evanston Art Center's Winter Arts & Crafts Expo is one of the largest and most celebrated shows in the Chicago area. The Annual Expo showcases arts and crafts by over 150 selected artisans, featuring original, handmade works of jewelry, ceramics, fiber, metal, glass, painting, photography, mixed-media, and more.
The paintings in this exhibition by Nina's students are created working with a limited palette of warm and cool primary colors plus white. Color theory and layering techniques are used to create bold, lush compositions in acrylic, oils, and gouache mediums.
