Making Our History: Artists Render Lincoln's Legacy

Over the past year, twenty Illinois artists have been in a virtual residency with the UIS Center for Lincoln Studies to create twenty original artworks on Lincoln’s legacies. The art will be exhibited at UIS Visual Arts Gallery, the Springfield Art Association, and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library from Thursday, Aug. 11 through Sunday, Sept. 18, 2022. Opening receptions at each location on August 11 will start at the ALPL from 4:30-7:00PM, then the SAA from 5:00-7:30PM, and VA Gallery from 5:30-8:00 PM. We invite you to join us on an art crawl that evening with food and drinks provided.
