SIGHT SPECIFIC

SIGHTSPECIFIC - a pilot program brought to you by 40 North | 88 West - is a rotating series of storefront exhibitions in the downtown Champaign area. The program offers visual artists a unique opportunity to display their work and engage a new, wide-ranging audience, while property owners will enjoy the impact of fine art in urban spaces.

Art work will be selected after review by an advisory committee, and all visual arts genres, styles, and media will be considered.

 

On Friday, January 22, Sight Specific launches with an exhibition of new work by Ralph Roether. Mr. Roether’s acrylic paintings on wood panels will be on display in the front windows of the Illinois Traction Station building located at 41-1B E. University, Champaign, from January 22nd through February 26th.

The next exhibition in the series will begin February 19th, 2010.
