Your voice is welcome! Join us for a community story circle exploring the rich and often overlooked history of modernist art in Champaign-Urbana. This gathering invites artists, educators, students, and neighbors to reflect on the people, places, and moments that shaped the region’s modernist art movement—from midcentury pioneers to local experiments in form, material, and abstraction.
Together, we’ll share stories about how modernist art took root in our community, shaped public space, and helped define a local creative identity. Whether you have personal memories, family connections, or simply a curiosity about this artistic legacy, your voice is welcome. This story circle is part of the Making Place for the Arts at Home: Performance and Midcentury Modern Architecture exhibition, which centers community narratives around the evolving role of the arts in our shared cultural landscape.
Free and open to everyone!
