Group 22: “Inspirit” August 21 – September 18 Gallery I In the mid-fifties a group of Arlington Heights artists met to stimulate, support and educate their art making. All had a goal of a career with their art, and in this unified spirit, they founded the Countryside Art Center. After 40 years of community involvement, the village razed the building, but the mission remained strong, with Group 22 emerging. Thus, in unified diversity, Group 22 presents the multimedia exhibit: Inspirit.

“Waterlily” by Arline Sadlon Gene McCormick: “People, Places & Pleasures: Living with Gusto” August 21 – September 18 Gallery II More than 50 recent paintings illuminate the artistic visions of Gene McCormick.

He has designed more than twenty small press book covers and is the illustrator for the venerable online poetry journal, Misfitmagazine.net.
