Isle A La Cache, Romeoville Art Society Host July Exhibit

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Isle a la Cache Museum will partner with the Romeoville Art Society for the second year on an exhibit that features the work of 27 local artists, according to a release from the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

Art a la Cache: Art in Nature Show will run from July 1 through July 30.

“This is a great opportunity for the museum and visitors to view art that focuses on nature,” Jen Guest, facility supervisor for the museum, said in a release. “We hope to draw art enthusiasts, inspire more art to be created, and introduce art to visitors who are new to these exhibitions.”

The exhibit will include work done in various mediums of art including oil and acrylic paintings, sculpture, photography, wire art, clay and more.

Heather Jelic, the Romeoville Art Society's founder, said her group is excited to be back at the museum again this summer.

"The exhibit's theme is 'Art in Nature' and is apropos to the location. Isle a la Cache Museum is a beautiful space and a treasure to the Romeoville community!"

Jelic encourages everyone to take time to visit the show.

"The exhibit showcases the diversity of art mediums and artists," she said in a release. "And our traveling miniature art gallery will be back again this year. Visitors can take a piece of art and/or create and leave a piece of art. We hope to inspire everyone – young and old – to make more art!"
Guest said the traveling art gallery was a popular addition to the exhibit last year, and she expects it to be again this year.

“This is an interactive display case that encourages artists of all ages to create, share and trade art,” Guest said in a release.

Art a la Cache will be available for viewing during museum hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Registration is not required for the free, all-ages exhibit.
