The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition, <a href="https://www.evanstonartcenter.org/exhibitions/thinking-through-tapestry-american-tapestry-alliance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Thinking Through Tapestry | American Tapestry Alliance</a>. The exhibition will be on display from May 30–June 28, 2026 with an opening reception on Sunday, May 31, 1-4pm that will be free and open to the public.

Thinking Through Tapestry is a juried exhibition featuring work that celebrates, explores, and builds upon specialized techniques often associated with tapestry. Selected artists explore techniques that consist of discontinuous weft-faced woven processes rooted in tapestry techniques, such as wedge weave, pulled tapestry, and the use of hachures or other structures, including the H.V. (Handarbetets Vänner) technique. The exhibition illustrates the close relationships between tapestry weaving and drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Thinking Through Tapestry | American Tapestry Alliance will be exhibited in the First Floor Gallery of the Art Center. The opening reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.

The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition, <a href="https://www.evanstonartcenter.org/exhibitions/denise-presnell-unrestrained-ambiguity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Denise Presnell | Unstrained Ambiguity</a>. The exhibition will be on display from May 23 - June 21, 2026 with an opening reception on Sunday, May 31, 1-4pm that will be free and open to the public.
 Denise Presnell, a painter originally from Nebraska, currently living in Sheboygan, WI, explores aesthetics of the abstract with playful color palettes, biomorphic forms, gestural lines, and movement in her current series Unrestrained Ambiguity. “The subject matter is up for grabs–it’s all in the eye of the beholder. I like offering an open invitation for the viewer to explore the work from their imagination.” Presnell has taken cues from the masters of color–Rothko, Matisse, and Bonnard–and enjoys working on panels that have layers of older paintings on them along with oils and cold wax.
Denise Presnell | Unrestrained Ambiguity will be exhibited in the Second Floor Gallery of the Art Center. The opening reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.
