Art Under Glass showcases the work of local artists, and brings life and energy to unoccupied retail spaces. Media will be diverse including photography, sculpture, glass and canvas works.  The goal is to expand the project to other sections of downtown Evanston on an ongoing basis, fusing disjointed blocks of an otherwise vital district. 

Created by the Arts & Business Committee of the Evanston Arts Council last year, Art Under Glass is now in its fourth cycle, bringing life and energy to downtown Evanston streets by placing the work of local artists in empty retail spaces.  The first three cycles were a joint project between the Arts & Business Committee, Downtown Evanston, and Farnsworth-Hill, Inc., which manages the 708 Church St. building, where art has been featured in windows on the 1600 block of Orrington Avenue, the 700 block of Church Street, and the 1500 block of Maple Avenue.  This new cycle adds 500 Davis St. to the roster of participating properties.

The 500 Davis St. exhibit features art by Andrew Carsen, Leslie Hirschfield, Aparna Paul Jain, Sara Lettman, Martha Ruschman, and Alan Teller.  Artists displayed on Orrington Avenue are Kathryn Bradford, Sarah Kaiser and Eugenia Meltzer.  Jill King’s work and that of the Artists Seeds Organization are on Maple Avenue.
