The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition Picturing Community: Stories in Photographs | with the Evanston History Center. The exhibition will be on display from February 22 - March 23 2025 and will be free and open to the public.


The EAC has partnered with the Evanston History Center to present Picturing Community: Stories in Photographs exploring the communal and historic significance of photographs. Photographs from the Evanston History Center archives tell a story of Evanston’s growth as a community. The Evanston Art Center issued a call for artists to submit contemporary images of our city inspired by these photographs. Exhibiting artists include Todd Anderson Richard Cahan Marilyn Crocker Mike Ennis Ian Finley Janice Kazmier and Jordan Scott.


The exhibition located in the Second Floor Galleries at the Evanston Art Center showcases the historic and contemporary photographs together to illustrate the commonalities we share as well as the changes. In addition to the exhibition a small exhibit of vintage cameras will run concurrently at the Evanston History Center and will be available for viewing during their public hours Thursday – Sunday 1:00 – 4:00pm. Admission is $10.
