Join us for the artist talk of our latest exhibition “To See and Be Seen”

To See and Be Seen gathers a selection of works by Chicago artists working across painting, photography, and multimedia practices. Through varied mediums, these works interpret the portrait as intimacy, reflection, and revelation, casting light on both the subject and the artist, inviting the viewer into the intimacy of the space in between.

Some pieces trace identity through layered textures, others capture fleeting expressions, or even sculpt unique stories and build worlds of their own. Each artist uses their craft to consider what it means to see and be seen. To see and be seen invites viewers into the intimate space between subject and artist, revealing the stories, relationships, and energies that bring each portrait to life.
