60th Annual Rennick Art Show

The Old and the New: Envisioning Peoria History in New Ways

 

Come see original artwork by Peoria area artists at the Peoria Historical Society’s 60th annual Rennick Art Show.

All of the art in this judged exhibit reflects the Peoria Historical Society’s mission to preserve, share, and celebrate the stories of the Peoria area. Each piece visually represents some aspect of Peoria area history and is open to any artist with a Peoria connection.

The exhibit runs May 2-31, Tuesday-Saturday from 10-5pm at the Peoria Riverfront Museum Gilmore Auditorium, 222 SW Washington Street, Peoria, IL.

An Opening Reception will take place on Thursday, May 2 from 5:30-7pm at the museum to recognize the artists and show sponsors, and the prize winners will be announced at this event.

Join us for Gallery Talk on Sunday May 19, from 1-2pm, and join the judge and the public for a tour of the exhibit and insights on the artwork.

Artists will retrieve their work on May 31.

There is no charge to attend this event. Donations and memberships are always welcomed and appreciated!
