Faces of the Fox: A Unique Art Installation

This special art installation aims to celebrate diversity in the Fox Valley

Faces of the Fox is an interactive community art installation that showcases the diversity that live in the Fox River Valley. Using photography and stories, we will present the wide variety of different people that have in common their living area. We will invite the widest possible range of people representing as many different variations on the human spirit as possible, including but not limited to people who are diverse racially, ethnically, educationally, economically, religiously, mentally, physically, emotionally, sexually, and in their gender identification.

You can help with expenses by donating online here.

We will be debuting the Faces of the Fox at Pecha Kucha on May 31 at Fermi Lab in Batavia. An Opening Night Reception will be held on Friday, June 1 at Limestone Coffee and Tea in Batavia. The show will hang there during the month of June. On July 1, Faces of the Fox will be exhibited at the Geneva Public Library. We will be following these exhibitions with shows in St. Charles, Elgin and Aurora. Watch this web site and our social media for details.

Our Mission...

is to bring to light the different people that make up our communities. We seek to educate each other on the diversity that lies within our communities. Our goal is to enhance our community. We believe that by acknowledging, understanding, and embracing our differences, we can make our communities stronger.
We are looking for Faces to represent the Fox Valley area. We want diverse Faces, so we can have a wide range of people showcased. Each Face will have a photograph and a small biography on display. The photographs and biographies will be done by separate photographers and writers unless a Face would like to do their own photograph or biography. Each Face will have the option to remain anonymous, however, we strongly encourage everyone to be proud and own who they are.
