Colored: Expanding American History by Joyce Owens at the H.F. Johnson Gallery of Art
Joyce Owens, a professor of art at Chicago State University, creates images "that will inspire the viewer to re-evaluate limited perceptions of African-Americans... to expand our senses, aesthetics and perspectives so that we might see how beautiful African-Americans are; that we might understand and appreciate their everyday heroic acts; and that we will come to see that they have been the pillars of our nation, our history, our culture." Gallery Hours are Tuesday-Friday: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Thursday evening 6-8 p.m. and Saturday 1-4 p.m. The show runs through May 17.
