Art in the City - the Arts Council's annual members-only juried exhibition - will open to the public at a reception on Friday, September 23, from 5:30 - 7 p.m. in the lobby atrium of Old National Bank, located at One Main Street in Evansville.

This show is made possible by a generous sponsorship from Cresline-Cresent-Wabash Plastics. 

Art in the City is a special exhibition for us, as it provides our artist members with the opportunity to showcase their best work.  As a juried event, the show allows all entrants to have one of their two entries juried into the show.  Erika Myers-Bromwell, assistant director at New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, was the juror.
