Recurring weekly on Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Aug. 17
Legacies: Selections from the Elmhurst Art Museum Permanent Collection. Much of EAM’s permanent collection results from the relationship between the museum and the people who previously owned the work, including artists, collectors, and their family members. The galleries will feature micro installations of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures from several personal collections donated to the museum to consider the nature of collecting. The exhibition will be accompanied by a lively program of music, film, talks, and tours to question collecting practices, access to collections, and inspire agency for people to build collections.
