The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art presents&nbsp;Black Women and Clay, a powerful exhibition that brings to light the remarkable but often overlooked contributions of Black female ceramic artists in Chicago. This groundbreaking show honors the legacy of pioneering artists while celebrating contemporary voices who have shaped the city's ceramic arts landscape.The exhibition addresses a critical gap in art world recognition, as Black women artists represent less than 0.5% of museum acquisitions nationwide despite the Black population comprising 14% of the U.S. population.&nbsp;Black Women and Clay&nbsp;seeks to rectify this disparity by showcasing the exceptional talent, innovation, and cultural significance of Chicago's Black female ceramic sculptors.Central to the exhibition's narrative is the legacy of Marva Lee Pitchford-Jolly, known as a transformative force in Chicago's ceramic arts community. After transitioning from social work to ceramics in 1981, Pitchford-Jolly taught at Chicago State University and mentored numerous Black artists including Juarez Hawkins and Malika Jackson. Her founding of the art collective "Sapphire and Crystals" in 1986 created essential community support for Black female artists. The exhibition also pays tribute to other influential figures including Eselean Goree Henderson, known as "The Clay Lady," who launched her ceramic career after retiring from teaching and studying at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1970s. The exhibition also explores how these artists draw upon rich African ceramic traditions while addressing contemporary themes of identity, community, and social justice. The exhibition traces connections from masters like Ladi Kwali and Magdalene Odundo to Chicago's vibrant contemporary ceramic scene, highlighting how cultural heritage informs modern artistic expression.Additionally, the exhibition addresses the unique challenges faced by Black women working in ceramics, from limited access to expensive equipment and studio space to confronting racism within predominantly white ceramic studios. These artists have persevered through systemic barriers while creating spaces for authentic artistic expression that centers Black experiences and perspectives. "My message that is good for about Black women, that is my specialty, that is somethingI want us to be about is success. We have nurtured everybody else's and not ours," said Marva Lee Pitchford-Jolly, whose words serve as inspiration for this exhibition. The artists in&nbsp;Black Women and Clay&nbsp;work to challenge commonly held stereotypes about Black artists, demonstrating that they are not a monolithic group creating uniform art.Instead, the exhibition showcases the rich diversity of artistic voices, techniques, and perspectives within Chicago's Black female ceramic community. United by their shared commitment to creating in comfortable, accepting environments, these artists populate the art world with figures from their lives, histories, and spiritual hearts. Many of the featured artists grew up during an era when positive representations of Black artistic life were largely absent from mainstream media, museums, television, and movies. Through their ceramic works, they create the representation they wished to see, crafting powerful visual narratives that celebrate Black identity, culture, and experience. Building on Chicago's rich tradition of community-based Black arts initiatives dating back to the 1940s and the founding of the Southside Community Art Center–the first Black art institution in the U.S.–this exhibition continues the city's legacy of supporting marginalized voices and challenging traditional art world hierarchies. About the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) preserves and promotes contemporary art as a shared expression of the Ukrainian and American experience. UIMA develops, utilizes and encourages artistic talent through exhibitions, concerts, readings, lectures and films to serve the cultural needs of our community and city, and thereby strengthen cultural understanding and diversity.

At RAM’s Wustum Museum Contemporary art jewelry often investigates cultural, social, personal, and environmental topics. Distinguished by a vocabulary of diverse media from precious metals to recycled objects, it also reflects artists’ interests in material exploration and notions of wearability. RAM’s holdings in art jewelry—with examples from artists from across the globe at varying stages in their careers—have grown rapidly. Artistic self-consciousness often drives those who make work considered “art jewelry,” though this is just part of a much larger conversation. Makers explore a wide variety of issues, materials, and themes, while utilizing media—both precious and non-precious—that encourage the exploration of jewelry and its history. In this selection of seven artists of color from RAM’s collection, the emphasis is on materials not traditionally anticipated for use in jewelry, such as polymer, safety pins, and silicone. While there are theoretically no limitations to the materials any artist can use, there have historically been barriers to some artists of color in the United States—indirect or otherwise—to access tools, materials, or studio spaces. At this moment, more and more efforts are being made to support and encourage the work of artists of color while drawing attention to existing work.Following the&nbsp;<a style="color: var(--link_color);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ramart.org/exhibit/nicole-acosta-hoops/" target="_blank">solo exhibition of Nicole Acosta</a>, which featured photographs of people of the global majority wearing hoop earrings, this exhibition emphasizes an idea that RAM often explores: how adornment can go beyond decoration to become a symbolic and layered space for meaning. While some of the work in this exhibition has been shown in the galleries at RAM, all of these pieces are making their debut at Wustum.

Guild Room September 19, 2025 - November 22, 2025 This series of paintings and drawings explores the enduring spirit of Pierrot—the iconic French character who embodies poetic vulnerability, theatrical grace, and quiet melancholy. L'esprit de Pierrot&nbsp;(The Spirit of Pierrot) is not a character study—it is an atmosphere. The works evoke fragility, introspection, and the unspoken drama of being. Each piece exists in a suspended moment between stillness and performance, between reality and reverie. Through subtle gesture and deliberate restraint, the artwork creates an emotional atmosphere that transcends literal representation. The compositions become mirrors, inviting viewers to project their own inner theater onto each image.With this exhibition, WERIEM invites viewers to pause within these contemplative spaces, to feel the weight of unspoken emotion, and to recognize the delicate ways in which beauty, loss, and imagination intertwine in our daily performance of being human.

Sacristy GallerySeptember 19, 2025 - November 22, 2025 My 1.5-year-old son says only a handful of words- wow, momma, daddy, ball, truck, fraise, ciao. The week I committed to this exhibition at Epiphany, he added a new word: birthday.Birthday is about how scary it is to begin. The first scream, first smile, first word, first step, first fall. The moment my son was born, I was certain I was dying. In the days and months that followed it still wasn’t clear as we existed in a new web of pain, euphoria, and wonder. It helps to have something to hug, something to hold you up, somewhere to rest. A birthday is a celebration, a renewal, but also a reckoning. Sometimes counting up feels like counting down, and the beginning is also an ending. The work in this show is holding on and letting go. The subject matter appears familiar, a stuffed animal, a lifejacket, paintings of pillowcases. Materials in the show include silk, human hair, and hair salon foils. Having grown up in a hair salon, these objects and images anchor me to my own childhood, my own history of birthdays, and the experience of the passing of time. The week Birthday opens, my son will turn 2.

Margaret Crowley: Birthday

Slemmons Gallery September 19, 2025 - November 22, 2025 Imperfect Players&nbsp;is a collection of ceramic vessels that can be performed as musical instruments and accompanied by drawings. I worked at an auction house creating condition reports for fine and decorative art. These objects were valuable for their aesthetic, craft, and cultural histories. I often studied ceramic vases closely and under a black light to find the imperfections: cracks, chips, and many networks of hidden repair. They had their own material stories in the flaws of their production and accumulation of wear. These imperfections degraded their value, but also served as evidence of their authenticity.&nbsp; I am a similar vessel. My human body has sustained physical and psychological changes and damage, and I hold that with me as I function day to day. Especially after giving birth to my child, I was very aware of dramatic shifts to my mind and body, and I struggled to perform as I once did. Imperfect Players is a response to that corporal rift. These forms are adorned with their own broken and fused pieces, just as I hold onto memories and my material body holds scars and strain of the past. Although broken, these vessels are also instruments that can be played to make musical sounds. Imperfect Players&nbsp;celebrates imperfect and broken vessels that disrupt the idealized form, and still function as instruments in the world.RSVP for the opening reception on Friday, September 19th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the link below: <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://epiphanychi.com/events/the-opening-reception-of-liz-mccarthys-exhibit-imperfect-players/" target="_blank">Register Here</a>

I collect clothes from resale shops. The coat was too expensive and designed for Paris weather.&nbsp;I visited “my” coat several times. Kimono cut, loose woven wool, perfect fit. Hard to leave it behind… So, I drew it. Another form of ownership.I tailored the coat to my wish with colors, prints, words, more prints. I customized each piece of clothing in the show, to be my own and all about me. With time, as I worked on the many designs and screens, I discovered that they didn’t happen by chance. Many unexpected memories found their way between layers.Anne attended the École Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques Penninghen in Paris. She received her Master’s Degree in Art History from the Sorbonne and her PhD from Northwestern University.&nbsp;She works at her home and in local studios.&nbsp;Anne draws inspiration from her encounters with people, books, objects, landscapes, events, and passing thoughts.I treasure overlooked details. They carry big worlds and make them almost manageable.They show loss through the beauty of what is left and joyful. The immeasurable abundance of life, and my ignorance of most things in it, alarms and dazzles me; with infinite layers, lines, and colors.&nbsp;Printmaking has allowed me to create a library of designs that can transfer across a variety of media. In my case, ceramics and textile. Designs can be mixed, reused and altered. They are friends, markers and narratives in time. The designs transfer between media seamlessly.&nbsp;For me, printmaking is fast and exuberant, or slow and contained just as writing is. I see no difference.&nbsp;These art forms&nbsp;share paper and ink. They delight me with the slight but indelible transformation created when ink presses on the white surface of the paper.&nbsp;Throughout my cheerful, blind walk across artwork, printmaking gives me an illusion of perennity.

Diego Marcon, an artist known for his radical rethinking of cinema, sound, and space, makes his U.S. debut at the Renaissance Society this September. Marcon’s practice is rooted in entertainment and structural cinema—eschewing traditional storytelling to explore the mechanics of filmmaking itself. His works challenge the hierarchy between subject and image, dissolving narrative into abstraction. For this exhibition, Marcon presents&nbsp;Krapfen, a newly commissioned musical dance film that stages an encounter between the kid, performed by dancer Violet Savage, and four characters represented by costume props: gloves, foulard, trousers, and pullover.&nbsp;Krapfen&nbsp;is also an encounter between the golden age of American animation and Italian opera. The choreography—a mix of contemporary dance, classical ballet, and popular entertainment forms—reflects the juxtaposition of traditional and digital filmmaking processes, a hallmark of Marcon’s practice. Curated by Myriam Ben Salah. Lead support for this exhibition at the Renaissance Society is provided by the Robert and Penelope Steiner Family Foundation. Diego Marcon’s&nbsp;Krapfen&nbsp;is co-commissioned and made possible by Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Lafayette Anticipations, New Museum, the Renaissance Society, and The Vega Foundation with additional support from Sadie Coles HQ, London, and Galerie Buchholz, Berlin/Cologne/New York. <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://renaissancesociety.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=28258b64874e626df0979c0de&amp;id=a0683e9dae&amp;e=375d06b725" target="_blank">Learn more</a>THIS PROGRAM WILL HAVE REALTIME CAPTIONING.

Not Everything We’ve Inherited is Worthy examines the complexities of parent-child relationships, with a focus on motherhood. Drawing inspiration from the enduring expectations placed on children, often regardless of their own feelings, the pieces confront the realities of failed motherhood and abuse that leave lasting emotional wounds. By incorporating deliberate motifs such as pantyhose, cowry shells, and hair, the work juxtaposes traditional sculptural materials with objects that symbolize femininity, reflecting the artist’s contextualization of motherhood. These materials and forms explore the intertwined dynamics of love, manipulation, and envy. Revealing the emotional layers that shape these relationships. Conceptual installations are grounded in a nude color palette, emphasizing the body and the physicality of parent-child connections. Through this lens, the work provokes reflection on power dynamics, the struggle for self-assertion, and the enduring impact of emotional harm within intimate familial relationships.

“Frankly, I make clothes for women to look sweet. I like sweet women. I see women’s role in life in the light of sweetness. Men should be the hunters. Women are the keepers of the hunters: it’s a straightforward, set philosophy of mine.” - Laura Ashley “Disruptive camouflage” is a type of camouflage that uses patterns and color to hinder detection or recognition of an object's boundaries and/or other conspicuous features of its body. It involves the manipulation of the perceptual processing of its viewers. Laura Ashley was a Welsh designer known for her romantic floral prints and feminine designs with a bucolic feel. Like modern tradwife influencers, she promoted the idea of women as submissive wives and mothers to contradictorily become a breadwinner. Hunting camouflage is meant to render a person invisible while hunting, but wearing it has become a fashion statement in rural areas to show off one’s masculinity and dominance over nature. Sophia Brueckner designs new camo patterns that integrate Laura Ashley florals with Realtree hunting camo and use them to make gender stereotyped artifacts and clothing to subvert false binaries about gender, class, domesticity, and nature.

This series is a response to the subtle erasure of the natural world from our shared language. The removal of words like "acorn,” "dandelion," and “raven" from children's dictionaries is more than a linguistic update; it is a symptom of a growing disconnect from the environment. These once-common words, replaced by tech words like "broadband" and "bullet-point", represent a wealth of lived experience and ecological knowledge that is being forgotten. Language has the power to both define and connect us to our surroundings. This series urges us to pause, look, and remember the words that anchor us to the living world. The work aims to reclaim and celebrate these words and to encourage a deeper appreciation for the environment and a more mindful engagement with the world around us.

The main focus of the Food For Thought Exhibition is to heighten awareness of food insecurity.&nbsp;At least half of all proceeds will go directly to the C and W Foundation, an Evanston-based nonprofit that provides essential access to groceries.&nbsp;The still life genre illustrates portraits of edible subjects that tell stories of meals shared, community, and breaking bread together. This communal ritual is&nbsp;celebrated in paintings of food made from direct observation, which reveal tangible, poetic symphonies of color, shape and texture.&nbsp;&nbsp;Artists: Sheila Cahnman, John Fleck, Ken Minami, Sarah Kaiser-Amaral, David Roberts and Chunbo Zhang.&nbsp;

The Consul General of Ireland, Brian Cahalane, will open the exhibition at 6:00 P.M. followed by a gallery walk with the artist.We are most grateful of Culture Ireland, who supported this event.John David Mooney Foundation is pleased to present&nbsp;Drifting Sovereignty, a solo exhibition by Elaine Byrne, represented by Kevin Kavanagh Galleries, from 5th - 29th November 2025. This show, supported by Culture Ireland, will be opened by Consul General Brian Cahalane.​​Drifting Sovereignty&nbsp;is a multidisciplinary exhibition that critically engages with the shifting nature of borders and the performance of power at geopolitical and environmental margins. Through photography, sculpture, video, and performance, the exhibition interrogates how sovereignty is both asserted and destabilized in contested spaces.​Contemporary borders are often represented as fixed lines on maps, yet such depictions obscure their social, political, and material complexity. Byrne's work shifts focus from the border as line to the borderscape--a dynamic, contested space shaped by governance, infrastructure, and lived experience. In doing so, the exhibition emphasizes the constructed and mutable nature of borders, which appear, dissolve, fracture, and overlap in response to both human and environmental forces.The works traverse multiple geographies. In the California desert. Byrne photographs prototypes of the U.S.-Mexico border wall--monumental forms that embody both the spectacle and futility of territorial enforcement. In the Canadian High Arctic, she documents landscapes marked by forced Indigenous relocation, revealing how political decisions have reconfigured lives and land. In Svalbard, where Russian-owned land exists within NATO territory, she explores competing territorial claims in the context of climate change and resource extraction.A central performance video shows Byrne walking across Arctic Sea ice--a minimal gesture that functions as a meditation on human presence within a rapidly changing landscape. This act underscores how environmental instability redraws boundaries once presumed stable.Byrne's sustained engagement with borders positions them not solely as barriers, but as active agents in the production of identity, belonging, and exclusion.&nbsp;Drifting Sovereignty&nbsp;offers a critical reflection on the entanglement of geopolitical power, mobility, and environmental change, prompting urgent questions about the future of territory and the limits of control in an increasingly unstable world.​
