Women Photographers To Show Work In Elmhurst

ELMHURST, IL — The Elmhurst Artists Guild will host an exhibit by the fotoMuses, a group of 15 women photographers from the Chicago area. The women note that, despite many commonalities and differences, they unite in their mutual love for the art of photography, according to a guild news release.

The group has been together for 20 years. Perhaps that is why, "Potpourri,” despite a wide range of photographic sensibilities and disparate artistic voices, is a show that blends these voices together like a choir. The fotoMuses granted themselves complete freedom with the theme for this show, according to the release.

The fotoMuses include artists Joanne Barsanti, Marita Blanken, Diane Bruno, Noriko Buckles, Anne Frantzen, Delta Greene, Janice Henry, Joan Kalmanek, Judy Kinal, Joan Ladendorf, Linda Markese, Cheryl Rausch, Marjorie Reichart, Joan Trushin and Barbara Work.

The exhibit will be held from Feb. 2 to 28 in the Elmhurst Artist Gallery at the Elmhurst Art Museum, 150 S. Cottage Hill Ave. The public is invited to the artists’ reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7.

The exhibition can be viewed during regular Elmhurst Art Museum hours from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. While admission to the Elmhurst Artist Guild Gallery is always free, admission to the museum is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, and free to students and children under 18. All visitors to the museum are admitted free on the first Friday of each month. More information is available at elmhurstartistsguild.org and elmhurstartmuseum.org.
