Art is a form of creativity & meditation, gratitude & reflection, communication & advocacy. Art in the Time of Coronavirus features artwork by more than 30 professional and amateur artists from the Fox River Valley and the Greater Chicagoland area.
This exhibition includes photographs, ceramics, textiles, paintings, sculpture and works on paper made in the spring and early summer of 2020. This group show illustrates a range of responses to a time when many of us were asked to shelter-in-place. A period marked by uncertainty, isolation, and unpredictability, but also a time when we had more time.
Artists in Art in the Time of Coronavirus used quarantine as an opportunity to create meditative marks (Zanic, Grendze), produce provocative graphics (DeLancey, Trier), and generate vibrant designs (Accardo, Lynne, Coan). Other artists documented this historical moment by creating portraits of loved ones (Nelson, Youngdahl), expressing anxiety caused by the pandemic (Paso, Rusch, Tevonian) and focusing on the beauty of the everyday (Lebin, Springer, Reninger).
The Schingoethe Center would like to thank all the artists that contributed to this exhibition. We would also like to thank Karina Riscos (AU '19) for providing the Spanish translations for this exhibition.

Un período marcado por la incertidumbre, el aislamiento y la imprevisibilidad, pero también un momento en el que tuvimos más tiempo.

Women in America have been making history for centuries, but their stories are often invisible. This new poster exhibition from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum seeks to highlight some of these stories.
Becoming Visible: Bringing American Women’s History Into Focus is an interactive digital exhibition that confronts how women’s stories have been in a constant state of becoming visible in American history. QR codes throughout the exhibit integrate narration by Rosario Dawson and curators from across the Smithsonian, to tell the stories of five women organized into themes that express how women’s history has been treated—either excluded, forgotten, almost lost, erased, or obscured. Each story comes to life through objects from the Smithsonian’s collections, archival records, recorded interviews and original illustrations and animations.
