50th Anniversary Exhibition
ARC Members: 50th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION Opening Reception Fri. Sept 29, 5-8pm
Please join the collective membership of ARC for its 50th Anniversary Members' Exhibition! For this milestone celebration, ARC presents work by members past and present. Featuring an installation piece by founding member Gerda Meyer-Bernstein, now 100 years old.
Artist Residents of Chicago (ARC) was founded in 1973 as a women-run artists’ cooperative organization at a time when the art world refused to take women’s voices seriously. ARC in 2023 still brings innovative, emerging and experimental visual art to a wide range of viewers. As a non-commercial gallery, we are able to provide a unique atmosphere of continued artistic experimentation and dialogue.
Come and celebrate our long and distinguished history as a cultural institution within the city of Chicago. One of the original alternative Chicago galleries of the 1970’s, along with Artemisia, and N.A.M.E., ARC is now the last of these great names still standing. Celebrate this incredible accomplishment alongside the work of our artist members over the years!
