SUMMARY:Chicago Voyagers: The Future Voyagers Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Voyagers: The Future Voyagers Exhibit\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. \n\n\n\nFeatured Artists: \n\n\n\nKevin West \n\n\n\nDwight White \n\n\n\nMorgan Nicolette \n\n\n\nRae Denise \n\n\n\nArrington \n\n\n\nSam Kirk \n\n\n\nEdo \n\n\n\n\nREgister for the May 18 Opening Reception

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Rooted in the Shadow of Coal: Botanical Treasures of the Waukegan Dunes
DESCRIPTION:Image: Walking Up the Dune by Josie Levin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Reception – Rooted in the Shadow of Coal: Botanical Treasures of the Waukegan Dunes\n\n\n\nThis summer\, Brushwood Center presents a new exhibition\, Rooted in the Shadow of Coal: Botanical Treasures of the Waukegan Dunes. It is presented in partnership with the Driehaus Museum to explore perspectives on art and nature in association with their summer exhibition featuring acclaimed botanical artist Rory McEwen\, Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature. Rooted in the Shadow of Coal embraces the tradition of botanical art while expanding to include a wider range of artists and media\, all focused on the resilient plants of the Waukegan Dunes. Each artwork in the show includes a reference to at least one\, and sometimes several\, of these botanical wonders. What has proximity to pollution done to the site? What does it mean to have this surviving and thriving natural environment next to coal ash ponds? In this exhibition\, botanical art becomes a lens to consider health\, equity\, and nature. \n\n\n\nJoin us at Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods for an opening reception and discussion. Seating for the panel discussion will be limited\, registration guarantees admission\, but not necessarily a seat. If you require a seat for accessibility\, please let us know at the event\, and you will be prioritized.  \n\n\n\n\nREgister for the July 13 Opening Reception\n\n\n\nLearn More about the Exhibition
