PAST EXHIBITION

Art of Democracy

September 6, 2008—November 9, 2008

The exhibition, timed to coincide with the 2008 Presidential election, displays works by 60 printmakers whose art is concerned with democracy, social activism and political change.

Examining the 20th-century history of using the poster and print as a vehicle for social
advocacy and propaganda, the exhibition looks at contemporary artists continuing in that
tradition. The exhibition is organized by the New York Society of Etchers and includes 25 Chicago-based artists.
