Join us for a community story circle exploring the rich and often overlooked history of modernist art in Champaign-Urbana. The gathering invites artists, educators, students, and neighbors to reflect on the people, places, and moments that shaped the region’s modernist art movement—from mid-century 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!
