This summer’s WARHOL exhibition at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art (CCMA) at the McAninch Arts Center (MAC) on the College of DuPage (COD) campus is nearing the end of its run and must close Sunday, Sept. 10.

The exhibition has been called “fun — and cool” by the Chicago Tribune. "You see, the effect of Warhol lies beyond the familiarity of his work, "observes New City. And Around the Town Chicago says "Above all, kudos to all those who designed the installation...5 Stars."

To date has garnered visitors from more than 34 states and several countries across the globe. Making for a perfect art-filled outing to close out the summer in Chicagoland, tickets and more information is Warhol2023.org.

Nearly 26 towns in DuPage County have embraced the art exhibition with public art and Warhol-inspired activations at local restaurants, libraries, art galleries and more. Says MAC Director Diana Martinez, "Their support in conjunction with intriguing onsite events has led to a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with Warhol’s life, artwork and last impact in a way that is more telling and experiential than a traditional gallery visit."

The multi-faceted WARHOL exhibition unfolds across nearly 11,000 square-feet of exhibition space. In total, more than 200 original Warhol works are on display, including the 94 works from “Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop | Works from the Bank of America Collection” on loan through Bank of America’s Art in our Communities® program, and a collection of more than 150 Warhol photographs and original works from the College of DuPage’s Permanent Art Collection. Visitors also get to experience Andy Warhol’s life through interactive exhibits, recreations and videos created exclusively for this exhibition including a historical exhibit, Kids Pop Art Print Factory, Studio 54 Experience, Central Park-inspired outdoor space and Silver Clouds installation.
