Collage artists are the archaeologists of our time. They are the collectors of today's discarded items: old newspapers and magazines, crumbling sheet music, torn book pages, rusty metal, scrapped pottery, castaway coins, abandoned jewelry and more. In their upcoming exhibit, members of the Midwest Collage Society have harnessed their imaginations to create collaged works of art using this found detritus.

Museum Hours: Wednesday, 5-8PM; Thursday, 12-4PM; Saturday, 12-4PM

Dorothy Bury Shaw will have one original work on display in this fine art exhibit.

The Elmhurst Artists’ Guild (EAG) is sponsoring a juried art exhibition; Engaging Friday in their gallery at the Elmhurst Art Museum. Inspired by the Frida Kahlo: Timeless exhibition at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art at the College of DuPage, the artwork will respond visually to Frida Kahlo’s paintings, life, politics, and/or identity.

Dorothy Bury Shaw created an artwork specifically for this exhibit. It is called “Longing to Fly” and is a self portrait.

There is a reception open to the public on Friday, July 16, 7-9PM at the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild Gallery at the Elmhurst Museum. Please come! All are welcome.
