While some institutions limit collection holdings to one or two pieces per artist, RAM is often interested in representing a career through multiple examples. Those whose works are collected in depth are referred to as “archive artists.” While the number of pieces needed to achieve this status is medium-specific, these holdings might also include things like personal records, sketchbooks, or studies made in preparation for a larger work.From The Archives&nbsp;showcases eight Wisconsin-based artists with recently established archives at RAM—Jerrold Belland, Lisa Englander, Caren Heft, Alex Mandli, Michael Nitsch, Bill Reid, Susan M. Sorenson, and Marc Wollman—each of whom have long-standing and impactful connections to RAM and Wustum. They are former staff members and RAMA Board members, regular juried exhibition participants, Artist Fellowship Award recipients, and longtime supporters of the Museum. Featuring a mixture of existing collection holdings and recent acquisitions, this exhibition offers a glimpse into the careers of these eight artists who have helped make RAM what it is todayArtists in the ExhibitionJerrold Belland, Lisa Englander, Caren Heft, Alex Mandli, Michael Nitsch, Bill Reid, Susan M.

The program revives past and little-known stories of women and celebrates the storytellers among us today who are keeping their legacies and influences alive. These stories are sung to life through a mix of folkloric vocal traditions and original music created by the trio, alongside four newly commissioned works by living female composers.Enhancing the event is a culinary offering by Chef Lindsay Johnson, whose work brings an additional layer of care, creativity, and nourishment to the experience. Thoughtfully crafted and seasonally inspired, her contribution engages the senses beyond sound and transforms&nbsp;the performance into a shared moment of listening, tasting, and presence.&nbsp;Presented at Brushwood Center in celebration of Women’s History Month, this interdisciplinary program reflects the power of women’s artistry across mediums.

James Falzone in Concert at CvsD, 2pmLong a Chicago stalwart and essential component of the city's creative music scene, clarinetist Falzone has been based in Seattle for many years, but he returns to town as part of a cross-country tour with his new project When Will Soon Be Then? Along the journey, the instrumental virtuoso will be joined by a variety of dancers – in particular Butoh-inspired ones – and in this concert he will feature Ginger Krebs for part of the performance. As Bill Meyer suggests in his Chicago Reader preview, "...you can expect the space's lively acoustics to vivify his probing, lyrical voice on wind instruments."

Joy Machine is thrilled to present World in My Eyes, a duo exhibition of Chicago artists Kayla Mahaffey and Joseph Perez, a.k.a. Sentrock. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on January 30. World in My Eyes is, first and foremost, rooted in the lives of everyday people. Both Sentrock and Mahaffey have long depicted friends and neighbors in their own Chicago neighborhoods, exploring how our city shapes its youngest residents. How are children cared for? How are their imaginations and dreams nurtured? These questions recur throughout both artists’ practices and always hinge on another: how do children thrive amid turmoil, whether political, cultural, or personal? In World in My Eyes, Sentrock’s signature bird character meets Mahaffey’s energetic cast. Each artist confronts an underlying struggle–whether an unrealized dream or a physical need–not through an unrealistic swaddle of optimism but rather through the often-repeated idea that hope is a practice. For children, and for all of us seeking a better tomorrow, hope starts with courage.

Shelf Show

Choreographic Place is an exhibition program presented by Bridge, premiering at the Evanston Art Center, that explores the evolving relationships between dance, sculpture, movement, written choreography, and civic space through the framework of William Forsythe’s notion of “choreographic objects”. Bridge collective members Michelle Kranicke, David Sundry, and Michael Workman seek to expand the definition to architectural or sculptural forms designed not simply to occupy space, but to shape how bodies move, and behaviors may be regulated within it, how choreography is written and read, and how movement is negotiated collectively in shared environments.

The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition,&nbsp;In Paper &amp; Shadow. The exhibition will be on display from&nbsp;February 21 - March 15, 2026, and will be free and open to the public. Sarah Nguyen is a mixed media artist, working primarily with paper. Storytelling is central to her hand-cut fiber panels and paintings. Her work has appeared in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions and publications. Her work has been part of exhibitions in museums and festivals, including (but not limited to) Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum of Asian Pacific Experience, the Daum Museum, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Grounds and Museum, the Truman Museum, Cheekwood Estates &amp; Gardens, and Kansas City’s 2018 Open Spaces. She has taken part in a number of artist residencies from around the world as a visiting artist and teacher, including Serbia, Bulgaria, Japan, and France, as well as the United States.

In Paper & Shadow

SoNa Chicago is pleased to host a special one-time artist exhibition and discussion called “Material Witness.”Material Witness is a dialogue in print and poetry featuring the work of Boston-based artist, Nancy Marks. The event explores parallels between 1940’s Nazi-occupied Europe and the actions of ICE and Customs and Border Control in our communities today. Nancy is a mixed-media artist with extensive background in painting, printmaking and papermaking. She combines her background in public health with her art practice to lead community-based conversations about complex social issues. This current exhibition centers on work born from her experience as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. She delves into her mother’s harrowing girlhood in Nazi-occupied France and the legacy of intergenerational trauma that remains. The exhibition also confronts the chilling parallels between her mother’s ordeal in the 1940s and the realities faced by immigrants in the U.S. today.The issues explored in Material Witness amplify themes in Jack Poker’s exhibition, Beneath an Economy of Sky, currently on view in the gallery. Both shows contemplate the impact of being forced to leave precious livelihoods behind; in Jack’s show, when homes, communities, values, and culture are abandoned, and in Nancy’s, as immigrants and others are taken by ICE from their homes, cars, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Quotes from her mother’s memoir are displayed with 25 of Nancy’s beautiful and haunting drawings, along with quotes from immigrants who today are experiencing the fear of capture and imprisonment. The exhibition is a search for clarity, an artistic response to the imperative to recognize our shared humanity and, in understanding, to choose the next right path.From 2:00 – 2:30 pm, guests will have time to view Nancy’s drawings and poetry. Then at 2:30 pm, the presentation and discussion will begin. Refreshments will be served.Image credit: Boy Hiding under Couch, Drypoint, 6” x 8” by Nancy Marks.

The title of the exhibition is&nbsp;Her Story. The "her" of the title is our daughter, Temma Day Lowly. The title is also a bit of a feminist twist on "history." The&nbsp;Her Story&nbsp;project consists of vertical format black &amp; white paintings, each of which will be accompanied by a text (title + essay, poem, dictionary entry, etc.) written by my partner (and Temma's mother) Sherrie Lowly.&nbsp;Concurrently with paintings of the&nbsp;Her Story&nbsp;project I will be showing a current collaborative project, the&nbsp;Trio Mandorla. This large drawing also depicts Temma, but with her mother Sherrie and caregiver Ellen Herbert). Begun 3 years ago, this project involves a collaborative component wherein people who are interested can draw onto the 2 parts of the drawing that depict quilts. I have exhibited this project previously, and numerous people have joined in the participatory compontent of the piece.

The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to&nbsp;Ruth Poor: Beatrice. The exhibition will be on display from February 21 to March 18, 2026, in our Second Floor Atrium Gallery and will be free and open to the public.Beatrice&nbsp;is the culmination of a nearly year-long study and performative execution of "grief-work" as a means to ground oneself amidst the shared loss of environmental sanctity, bodily autonomy, and community from rising authoritarianism, Christo-fascism, and consumerism.&nbsp;Ruth L. Poor, an interdisciplinary artist, embraces an evolving process of creation rooted in research and journaling/sketching as observation. Often implementing or commenting on spiritual/religious practice and ritual as it intersects with the macrocosm of American history and politics, alongside the parallelism of the personal.&nbsp;

The Italian Design Day reaches its 10th edition in 2026, with the theme RE-DESIGN: Regenerate spaces, objects, ideas, relations which aims to offer an opportunity for reflection on the role of design and architecture in improving everyday living spaces and the well-being of communities. On this occasion, Prof. Alessandro Rotta Loria, Louis Berger Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University, will introduce the project Underground Climate Change, presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025. Developed through a study by the Subsurface Opportunities and Innovations Laboratory (Northwestern University), GEOEG, and ENERDRAPE, the project examines the effects of underground infrastructure and services in cities and the resulting creation of heat islands. This phenomenon, known as an underground climate change, is causing ground temperatures to rise by up to 2.5°C per decade, with local anomalies exceeding 70°C. These temperatures pose risks to building foundations, underground transportation systems, public health, and the environment. However, underground climate change also presents valuable opportunities to retrofit building envelopes and deploy geothermal technologies to reduce the diffusion of waste heat in the urban subsurface and enhance the sustainability of cities. <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://iicchicago.esteri.it/en/gli_eventi/calendario/italian-design-day-underground-climate-change-with-prof-alessandro-rotta-loria/" target="_blank">Free event with registration</a>
