The arts have long been a source of vitality, 

self-expression and cultural exchange in the 

Evanston community. The abundance and 

quality of artistic offerings is impressive for a 

City our size. On any given evening, one can 

attend an art opening, theatrical production, 

dance performance, poetry reading, concert, or 

fi lm, to mention only a few. 

The Evanston Art Center has contributed to this 

rich stew of arts and culture since its founding in 

1929. Over eighty years later we operate under 

many of the original guiding principles, one 

of the most important being an emphasis on 

community engagement and outreach. 

Recently, we’ve broadened our community ties, 

stretching from Evanston to Pilsen, initiating 

conversations that have led to interdisciplinary, 

inclusive, and innovative programming. 

Our contemporary arts forum, ‘Dialogic 

Communities’ invites the public to read an 

article on our web site and then join us for an 

informal discussion. Our springBoard group 

is introducing the fi rst Evanston Youth Film 

Festival. We facilitated an artist-in-residence 

program at a District 65 school. In spring of 

2013, we’ll host a weekend dedicated to the 

often misunderstood art of street art. With 

programs featuring the spoken word, hip hop, 

graffi ti artists, and participation from arts 

educators and the community, this should be a 

weekend to remember, and, hopefully, one that 

reaches out to the youth in our community who 

never thought the Evanston Art Center was here 

for them. 

At the Evanston Art Center, we realize we can 

accomplish so much more if we can leverage 

our assets as a community. Your involvement 

is valued. Your suggestions are welcome. Your 

fi nancial support is essential for us to continue 

our good work in the community. Please 

consider a gift to our Annual Appeal this year. 

Thank you for your continued support and 

interest in keeping the arts alive.

MISSION 

The Evanston Art Center is 

dedicated to fostering the 

appreciation and expression of 

the arts among diverse audiences. 

The Art Center offers extensive 

and innovative instruction in broad 

areas of artistic endeavor through 

classes, exhibitions, interactive 

arts activities, and community 

outreach initiatives. 

HISTORY 

The establishment of the Evanston 

Art Center in 1929 was a direct 

result of civic and cultural leaders 

working together to realize the 

goal of a community center where 

the arts could be experienced, 

appreciated, discussed, and 

practiced. The Art Center has 

continued to be a vital part of 

the community for over 80 years, 

serving artists, teachers, students 

of all ages, curators, collectors 

and connoisseurs, philanthropists, 

volunteers, work-study students, 

schools, art galleries, cultural 

institutions, and nonprofi ts. 

Our community outreach and 

scholarship programs help us 

reach underserved audiences. We 

continue to offer our constituents 

new and meaningful ways to 

engage in the arts. The Evanston 

Art Center has always been 

connected to its community roots 

and this bond will remain a guiding 

force for the Art Center well into 

the 21st century.

MINDFUL CREATIVITY 

Laura Mae Noble 

Saturday 1/19, 10am-4pm 

Sunday 1/20, 1pm-4pm 

2North 

In this weekend workshop, we will explore the 

basic ground of all creative practice through 

mindfulness meditation, and activities bringing 

us into relationship with the present moment. 

We will explore how our perception, through our 

senses--hearing, vision, tasting, touch, and smell-- 

connect us to what is, before we develop thoughts 

or concepts. This is simply about seeing things 

as they are, and expressing or acting from that 

awareness. Activities may involve some standing 

meditation, a little walking or movement, some 

visual exercises, drawing, writing, object arranging 

and calligraphy. This is not a technical art class, 

but rather for developing skill and familiarity with 

creative mind. No “artistic skill” necessary, only an 

interest in developing clarity, joy and creativity in 

your daily life. 

Skill Level All levels

Artistic 

Inquiry 


LEVEL I: ENGAGING ART APPRECIATION 

AND ART HISTORY 

Roger Heuberger 

Tuesday 6:30pm-9:00pm 

Digital Lab2 

This popular program has been customized 

for the EAC community. Its multi-dimensional 

approach makes looking at and discussing art 

really exciting. We will examine signifi cant events 

in art using many high-resolution images. Context 

is considered alongside technique. Topics include: 

How artists’ rejection from the Paris Salon of 1863 

led to Impressionism? Were artists competitive 

or collaborative and in what ways did they draw 

inspiration from the past. The 1913 NY Armory 

Show brought Euro Modernism (Picasso, Munch, 

Matisse) to USA: how did that affect 20th century 

American Art? 





LEVEL II: ART EXCITEMENT 

AND ART HISTORY 

Roger Heuberger 

Tuesday 6:30-9:00pm 

Digital Lab2 

Attendees are encouraged to attend Level I. The 

EAC tailored, “Art Excitement” continues, leading 

up to how contemporary art has been affected by 

earlier periods, technology and more. Discussion 

is not limited to how the art evolved: the way 

viewers perceive artworks took a big leap, i.e. we 

may consider a Raphael differently than a Koons 

or Warhol? Surrealism was short lived, and not for 

everyone: yet, we see its fi ngerprints daily in all 

media. Pop art has had a similar fate. Additional 

topics may include developments in portraiture 

and “art as a metaphor”. Both courses include 

observations from the global art markets. 

Some subjects may be revised, per input from Level 

1 attendees.

RADICAL WATERCOLOR 

Sue Sommers 

Tuesday 6:30pm-9pm 

2North 

This is an experimental class, one in which 

short mediation and watercolor are central and 

interrelated. The focus on short meditations (led by 

the instructor who also leads meditations at C.J. 

Jung Center) allows painting to approach a deeper, 

riskier and more playful awareness. Watercolor 

demands that we are present to the colors, the 

fl ow and the expansiveness that makes watercolor 

unique. Working with watercolor we examine the 

myriad ways the medium can be expressed. Bring 

some paints and brushes, a spray bottle and small 

paper to class. Find out what works for you.

SPECIAL PROGRAM: 

Street Arts As Public Pedagogy: 

Learning From The Margins 

May 3, 4 and 5 

The goal of these events is to highlight cultural 

efforts by those working in the street realms of 

hip-hop culture and the arts so that we may grow 

visibility and awareness of these practices for 

audiences who may not have direct contact with 

them. We also want to shift how our communities 

view this activity, education, and art. Street arts and 

graffi ti in particular, is the visual artistic component 

of hip-hop often serving as visual representation 

of its vocabularies, styles, techniques, colors, and 

themes. 

The Evanston Art Center is proud to be a part 

of this yearlong series of Chicago street art 

exhibitions/actions instigated by the National 

Museum of Mexican Art.

more fun than the after parties at Art Miami Basel – 

well, almost. All event proceeds will go to support 

the programs, exhibitions, community outreach and 

scholarship fund of the Evanston Art Center. 

*LINDA KRAMER: A RETROSPECTIVE 

June 2 – July 7 

Opening reception on Sunday, June 2 

1pm – 4pm 

Few contemporary artists have been as prolifi c 

in making her own work and, at the same time, 

as active at championing the work of others in 

the Chicago artists’ community as Linda Kramer. 

This retrospective showcases artwork that spans 

several decades and, in spite of the variety of 

mediums and metaphors employed, reveals a 

strong and singular voice. 

*IN THREE MOVING PARTS 

July 21 – August 25 

Opening reception on Sunday, July 21 

1pm – 4pm 

This exhibition, which features the paintings of 

three artists long connected to Chicago, Matthew 

Ballou, Norbert Marszalek and Timothy P. 

Vermeulen, explores the notions of the ‘Self’ as a 

pictorial, narrative and symbolic construction in the 

context of representational imagery. 

* Exhibition funding provided by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general 

membership. 

* This project is partially funded by the Evanston Arts Council, in partnership with the City of Evanston and
