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.

The story of women's suffrage is a story of voting rights, of inclusion in and exclusion from the franchise, and of our civic development as a nation. Join the Smithsonian in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment with Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence. This poster exhibition will explore the complexity of the women's suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans' lives today.
The crusade for women's suffrage is one of the longest reform movements in American history. Between 1832 and 1920, women citizens organized for the right to vote, agitating first in their states or territories and also, simultaneously, through petitioning for a federal amendment. Based on the National Portrait Gallery exhibition of the same name, Votes for Women will broaden visitors' understanding of the suffrage movement in the United States. The poster exhibition will address women's political activism, explore the racism that challenged universal suffrage, and document the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment which prohibits the government from denying U.S. citizens the right to vote on the basis of gender. It will also touch upon the suffrage movement's relevance to current conversations on voting and voting rights across America.
