The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition, Sandra Hansen | Our Exquisite Pollution Series: Under the Sea. The exhibition will be on display from March 28 - April 26, 2026, with an opening reception on Sunday, March 29, from 1-4pm that will be free and open to the public.

In Our Exquisite Pollution Series: Under the Sea, environmental artist Sandra Hansen creates water scenes with pure, sustainable handmade paper and repurposed plastics found decaying on the beaches. As the environmental crisis grows larger, so does Hansen’s art. Hansen’s work has evolved into installation with lighting, sound, and movement, where viewers are engulfed in an underwater-like space with sea creatures.

Our Exquisite Pollution Series: Under the Sea will be exhibited in the Atrium Gallery on the Second Floor of the Art Center. The opening reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.
