SUMMARY:Chicago Voyagers: The Future Voyagers Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Voyagers: The Future Voyagers Exhibit Opening Reception\n\n\n\nJoin Brushwood Center and Chicago Voyagers in a celebration of the opening of The Future Voyagers Exhibition! Be the first to view the brand new exhibition and have a chance to hear directly from artists that created the works.  \n\n\n\n1:00 pm Exhibition opens for viewing2:00 pm Panel discussion with: Bernie Rupe (Chicago Voyagers)\, Edo (exhibiting artist)\, Kevin West (exhibiting artist)\, moderated by Dani Abboud (Brushwood Center) \n\n\n\nLight refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n\nREgister for the May 18 Opening Reception\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\n\n\n\nAmerica has always had a fascination with exploration and the outdoors. We’ve memorialized it in paintings\, history books & statues where proud explorers pose heroically—their foot propped on the prow of a canoe or rocky precipice\, surveying the American west. But there’s one thing all of these artworks have in common: \n\n\n\nThey’re of white men. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with Chicago Voyagers\, a nonprofit whose mission is to empower local\, underrepresented youth through outdoor adventure therapy programs\, seven Chicago-based artists will present a two-part exhibition that visualizes the future of American exploration: one where adventure knows no gender or color.  \n\n\n\nThe show includes new work that features the portrait of a youth who currently participates in the Chicago Voyagers program. A youth is using outdoor exploration as a means to become a leader and impact the world in a positive way.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition at Brushwood opening May 18\, 2025 is the first part of this two-part endeavor. There we will get a first look at studies for the larger portraits that will be unveiled at the final exhibition in Chicago at the Epiphany Center for the Arts\, opening on August 8\, 2025. A portion of the proceeds from artwork sales will be donated to Chicago Voyagers.
