FROM
THE
PRESIDENT
You might not guess that Evanston Art Center (EAC) is 85-years young because
of our move this past spring into a new facility on Central Street in Evanston. We
are noticing amazing upticks in our school enrollment and exhibition offerings,
as well as our daily visitor drop-ins. Our newly designed building is highlighting
that art is integral to people of all ages in Evanston and in our surrounding
communities. We want you to be a part of this artistic revitalization.
Over 30,000 people from all walks of life, representing over 100 Illinois zip codes
used the Art Center this year alone. We are a vital step in the artistic process.
The Art Center closes the gap for schools that have had funding cut for the arts
by bringing our art programming to schools. We collaborate with numerous
schools from K through College to teach skills and provide exhibition space. We
provide need-based scholarships to Evanston-Skokie District 65 elementary
students every year, year-round. Our teen and adult programming is evolving and
includes expanded interdisciplinary opportunities such as our new Maker Lab,
where students can explore 3D arts, digital fabrication, technology and design.
Our faculty is top-notch and students of all ages and backgrounds wish to learn
at EAC. Every year, EAC provides those students in need with scholarships,
financial aid, and aides to assist those with disabilities. Our exhibition program
is exceptional, showing contemporary artists from around the world, as well as
student and faculty work. All of our exhibitions are free and open to the public to
enjoy.
We want the artistic experience at EAC to reach more people. We need your help.
Our new space is attracting more visitors than ever. Please donate today to EAC
to help us continue to make artistic experiences at EAC accessible, obtainable,
and integral to anyone who wishes to make art a part of their life. Your donation
truly makes a difference at the Evanston Art Center. Donations help support
scholarship education programs, outreach programs, exhibition programs, and so
much more.
Please visit EAC at www.evanstonartcenter.org and click the “Donate” link at the
top of the page to make a tax-deductible contribution today. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Paula Danoff
President & CEO
P.S. Visit our website, visit us in person, make art a part of your life and help make
art a part of other’s lives by donating today!
The Evanston Art Center is
honored to receive the 2015
Mayor’s Award for the Arts.

DIGITAL MEDIA AND FABRICATION IN
EVANSTON ART CENTER’S NEW MAKER LAB
There’s been a lot of discussion in the last
few years around new relatively inexpensive
technologies and equipment that allows
people to fabricate and prototype their
own images and objects in materials like
acrylic, wood, paper, vinyl, and plastic. This
equipment is still a bit too expensive for the
average household to buy, but the days of
outsourcing a project to an expensive light
manufacturing company is coming to an
end. We are witnessing the beginning of a
new Do It Yourself (DIY) movement, one
that offers lay people opportunities to work
through concepts and ideas with tools that
were once out of reach. Today the consumer
can be designer as well as producer. Do It
Yourself “Maker Labs” have been springing up
all over the country in colleges, universities,
and community centers. Most of these spaces
offer drop-in times that give people basic
access to the software and equipment. They
host workshop tutorials and then a person is
able to schedule time to come in on their own.
What Makes us
Unique:
Although we support the idea of maker
spaces, we believe they do not fulfill the
amount of instruction and investigation
people truly need to make their ideas a
reality. As an arts organization, we also feel
that we should view these technologies as
artistic tools and as an art curriculum. Our
focus should be on art students and working
artists in the communities we serve. We
are asking ourselves What does a “maker
lab” look like for an arts organization who
offers over 100 youth and adult classes and
workshops in ceramics, drawing, painting,
jewelry, metalsmithing, figure sculpture, and
printmaking? What sets us apart is a rich
project-based curriculum led by an innovative
faculty that gives users a chance to not only
play, but investigate new ways of art making.
Just consider for a moment what a painting,
drawing, traditional print, piece of jewelry,
ceramic object etc. would look like engraved
into sheets of wood, clear acrylic, bright
vinyl, 3D printed plastics of all colors, or cut
out in beautiful papers? The Evanston Art
Center welcomes everyone to imagine what’s
possible in our maker lab.
DIGITAL MEDIA
AND FABRICATION
All digital classes include free monitored
studio time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
Thursdays times are dependent upon class
offerings and determined after the start of
classes. In addition to courses people can
become authorized on the laser engraver for
$40 and have a chance to begin a project
under direct supervision. We charge $30 for
an hour on the laser engraver and $20 for 30
minutes.

10-WEEK
SMART PHONE STUDIO: THROUGH THE
LOOKING GLASS
Pete Nichols
Saturday 11-2pm
Maker Lab
Augmented reality applications for
smartphones allow us to situate digital models
and images into real spaces. We can see these
images using only the cameras on our smart
phones. This technology is actually incredibly
simple to work with and opens our artistic
practices to a range of possibilities. Images
and sculptures are confined to the physical
and conceptual constraints of the space they
are presented. Augmented reality applications
allow us to break free from these constraints
and create surreal artworks that challenge the
way we think about gallery spaces as a whole.
This course does not require any previous
knowledge or experience with digital imaging
or augmented applications. We will be moving
at a relaxed pace and you will be surprised at
how fun and easy it is to work with.

LEVEL I: ENGAGING ART APPRECIATION & ART
HISTORY™
Roger Heuberger
Tuesday 6:30-9pm
Mixed Media Studio
This popular program has been customized
for the EAC community. Its multi-dimensional
approach makes looking at and discussing
art really exciting. We will examine significant
events in art using many high-resolution
images. Context is considered alongside
technique. Topics include: How artists’
rejection from the Paris Salon of 1863 led to
Impressionism? Were artists competitive or
collaborative and in what ways did they draw
inspiration from the past. The 1913 NY Armory
Show brought Euro Modernism (Picasso,
Munch, Matisse) to USA: how did that affect
20th century American Art?

LEVEL II: ART EXCITEMENT AND ART HISTORY™
Roger Heuberger
Tuesday 6:30-9pm
Mixed Media Studio
Attendees are encouraged to attend Level I.
The EAC tailored, “Art Excitement” continues,
leading up to how contemporary art has been
affected by earlier periods, technology and
more. Discussion is not limited to how the art
evolved: the way viewers perceive artworks
took a big leap, i.e. we may consider a Raphael
differently than a Koons or Warhol? Surrealism
was short lived, and not for everyone: yet,
we see its fingerprints daily in all media. Pop
art has had a similar fate. Additional topics
may include developments in portraiture and
“art as a metaphor”. Both courses include
observations from the global art markets.
Some subjects may be revised, per input from
Level 1 attendees.

UPCOMING EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS & PROGRAMS
VERENA BRASSEL*
Expressions from Ancient Roots:
A Spiritual Journey
November 21 – December 20, 2015
Opening Reception: November 21, 1 – 4 pm
Swiss artist Verena Brassel’s works are
comprised of mixed media paintings that are
inspired by historical relics, mostly ancient
scripts collected from her various trips to
the Orient, Morocco, India and Israel, and the
landscapes that surround these historic sites.
Her process involves transferring these relics
onto hand-made paper and incorporating
them as collages into her paintings; often
adding soil samples to her palette from these
very sites. She often has experts translate the
script fragments, transforming her paintings
into a mediation on the meaning of these texts.
The final result is that of a spiritual experience,
a symbiosis of emotional reality, mystical
experience, perception, and matter rising from
the subconscious, connecting the viewer with
the unique past from each and every piece.
FACULTY EXHIBITION
January 10 – February 21, 2016
The Evanston Art Center’s faculty of teaching
artists is comprised of a dedicated, talented
group of artists working in a wide array of

members in ceramics, digital and 3D arts,
drawing, painting, fiber, figure sculpture,
jewelry, photography, and printmaking.
