Local Art & Music

Since college, engaging with the local art and music scene in my community and hometown has been a source of joy and inspiration. Below I've listed some of the events I've organized and places were my art has been featured in the past.

Past Events

1 / Roadmaps: Nashville to Chicago

Roadmaps was an art exhibition in two parts that fostered connections between emerging artists in the local art scenes in the Chicagoland and Nashville areas. Our Nashville Pop-up Show at Coop Gallery in July 2024 included a "picnic" crafting day. In August 2024, we collaborated with Side Street Studio Arts in Elgin, IL to offer a free paper-making workshop to the local community on the day of our opening reception.

2 / Triptychs at Canopy Create, Chicago IL

In this DIY show, I was one of three featured artists and assisted with coordination of the show and musical performances. This pop-up gallery took place on August 20th, 2022.

3 / AUX Art House Virtual Gallery

Several of my paintings and prints were featured in AUX Chicago's virtual gallery in August 2021.

4 / Separate Waves II, Throop Studios, Chicago, IL

In addition to organizing this weekend-long exhibit in July 2021, my art was featured alongside the work of emerging artists in the Chicagoland area. Read more about the show in our press release.

5 / Separate Waves I

Prior to starting graduate school, I coordinated this show and musical performances in July 2019. Read more about the show here.
