1717 CENTRAL STREET, EVANSTON | WWW.EVANSTONARTCENTER.ORG FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends of the Art Center, The Evanston Art Center (EAC) finished its first year on a high note with more exhibitions and class offerings than ever before. As funding for the arts continue to dwindle, now more than ever Evanston schools, organizations, businesses and individuals are looking to the EAC to provide art, art education, exhibition space and exhibitions for the community and sur- rounding area.

We are asking you to help us keep the arts in our community. More than 30,000 people from all walks of life, representing over 100 Illinois zip codes used the Art Center in 2016 alone, viewing one of our 26 exhibitions or participating in one of our 400 classes. EAC not only offers classes for adults and youth at our center, but we also collaborate with numerous schools from grades K through College to bring art program- ming to students. Our expanded programming includes 3-D printing and digital fabrication in our Maker Lab for teens and adults and a new woodworking studio for adults and youth. Our outreach efforts make sure that students of all ages and backgrounds have the opportunity to learn about the arts by providing need-based scholarships to Evanston-Skokie District 65 elementary schools. We are excited to offer the following new classes in our Winter Term: • Introduction to New Media – Learn to see the internet as a material repository and open platform for artistic expression • Intermediate Woodworking for Adults – Build upon the tools and techniques from our Basic Woodworking skills course • Introduction to Floral Design – Learn techniques of Western Floral Design and bring home beautiful arrangements • Introduction to Interior Design – Learn skills to design or redesign your living spaces • Family Art for All Ages! – Enjoy creating art with parents, grandparents and kids We have set forth an ambitious upcoming Exhibitions program year with over 18 planned and counting. A sampling of our 2017 highlights include an arts show for EAC students in January; partnering with the Evanston History Center to feature the Underground Railroad exhibition in March; and hosting an Israeli artist to curate an exhibition featuring Israeli and Pales- tinian artists from the Chicago area for the International Day of Peace in September. As always, our exhibitions are free and open to the public. We look forward to expanding our partnerships in District 65 schools through after-school arts programming and in-service teacher programs, and working with schools to provide scholarships for need-based students to take our art education offerings. During the next year, we’ll provide new cross-disciplinary Maker Lab offerings that bridge technology with tradi- tional art forms. We also look forward to increasing our engagement in the community through partnerships and programs that promote positive learning environments while allowing for creative expression and collaboration among people of all backgrounds. By providing both space and funding for the arts in Evanston, we are a vital step in the artistic process. Now we need your help to make sure the artistic experience at EAC reaches even more people! Please donate today so we can continue to make the arts at EAC accessible, obtainable and integral to anyone who wishes to make art a part of their life. Your donation truly makes a difference at the Evanston Art Center. Donations help support scholarship education pro- grams, outreach, exhibitions and so much more. Thank you for your continued support!

Paula Danoff President & CEO
