In the coldest months, Peoria Riverfront Museum offers chance for introspection in 'Solitude'

This week on Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois chats with Bill Conger, curator of collections and exhibitions at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, about the exhibition Solitude: The Necessity of Art.

They delve into the exhibition's themes, one of the featured works, and how this powerful collection demonstrates art's ability to transform through introspective and thought-provoking subjects. As we enter winter's coldest months, this reflective exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore the profound connection between solitude and creativity.
