"Art Under Glass" Program Seeking Artists
The Art Under Glass program is seeking applications for large-scale art work. The program was initiated by the Arts & Business Committee of the Evanston Arts Council to place the work of Evanston artists in vacant storefront windows, thereby promoting local artists and enhancing the aesthetics of our community.
We are excited to announce that that next round of the Art Under Glass program will expand beyond the confines of downtown Evanston. We are seeking large-scale work to display at Evanston Plaza in the West Village neighborhood. The work will be displayed in a highly visible location, a free-standing building that was formerly a China Buffet restaurant site near the intersection of Dempster Street and Dodge Avenue. The application deadline is Monday, April 25. We anticipate hanging the work in late May.
This is an excellent opportunity for artists to participate in helping to beautify and energize Evanston’s new West Village community. Submissions will be reviewed by an independent jury and final selections will be made based on the suitability of the work for the available window spaces. Again, we are particularly looking for large art to pique the interest of drivers passing by.
