On this week’s episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with artist Lori Reed about the Harvard Avenue Artists Show, now on view through the end of April at Exhibit A Gallery in Peoria Heights.
Featuring 58 works by four artists who all live on the same block, the exhibition showcases a diverse mix of styles — from abstract painting and stained glass to photography and collage. Reed shares how the exhibition came together, the inspiration behind her whimsical animal-infused collages, and how it celebrates not only creativity but the power of neighborhood collaboration.
