Wednesday, March 31st

7:30-8:30pm

This year the Oak Park Art League is celebrating its 100th anniversary and OPRF Museum staff is collaborating with our artistic friends at the corner of Chicago and Oak Park Avenues to tell their story and the broader story of our region’s artistic roots.

On March 31st, via a Zoom presentation, Operations Manager Rachel Berlinski and Executive Director Frank Lipo, will put the spotlight on the origins and the first 25 years of what was founded as the Austin, Oak Park and River Forest Art League in April 1921 in the Austin home of noted landscape painter Carl Krafft. Krafft would become the group’s first president.  It was said that the three communities were “centers of culture” for Chicago’s western suburbs and if not true “artist colonies,” surely the large number of accomplished artists and generous patrons should form a new group?

Program is facilitated by the OPRF Museum.
