THE ERIC SHOW
March 2nd - April 6th, 2012
OPENING RECEPTION: March 9th
40 North | 88 West is pleased to announce the third annual Eric Show, a county-wide high school art exhibition. This juried show is endowed by Dale M. and Margaret Steffensen in memory of Dale’s son Eric (1951-1970). While driving home from a hockey game, Eric was killed by a drunk driver at the corner of Race and Michigan streets in Urbana. He had graduated from Urbana High School the previous spring and was preparing his portfolio in order to continue his education in art, which had begun at UHS. He was also working with Rob Fisher, who was then a sculptor on the University of Illinois faculty.
The Steffensens hope that The Eric Show will encourage young artists and contribute to the flourishing art community of Champaign County.
Illini Union Art Gallery, 1401 West Green Street
The show will be open daily from 7am-10pm.
Please come and support the young talented artists of Champaign County!
