Local artist Elaine Miller is premiering a new exhibit at the Beverly Arts Center called “Remnants and Remains” based on the landscape and vegetation of Dan Ryan Woods. The opening reception is this Friday, September 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Beverly Arts Center (BAC) is located at 2407 West 111th Street, the corner of Western Avenue and 111th Street. The exhibit will run from September 25 to November 8. The hours at BAC are Monday from 4 to 8 p.m., and Tuesday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., but always call ahead to verify that they will really be open before you head over there. The number is 773-445-3838. All coronavirus precautions will be followed so bring your mask.
The Ridge Historical Society just finished the long series on the history of Dan Ryan Woods. We will be participating in Elaine’s exhibit by having a print copy of the series on display at the exhibit so visitors may read through it. Carol Flynn, the author of the RHS Facebook series, will be at the opening reception, and will follow up with a Patch and RHS article on the exhibit and what are sure to be very dramatic and wonderful paintings by a very talented artist! This picture is “Regenerate” and will be in the exhibit.
