Department of Art History

CWAC Exhibitions invites you to join the curators and artists to celebrate the opening of Side by Side: Color and Textiles with jubilation, curator-led object chats, and a reception.

Drawing together the works of Chicago-based Ukrainian American artists, Anna Kuczma (1910-2002) and her daughter Lialia Kuchma (b. 1943), Side by Side: Color and Textiles situates modern artists’ experiments with color in textile histories, practices, and technologies. To further elucidate these connections, the show also includes quilted and embroidered works by fellow Chicago artists Liz Barr (b. 1993) and Charlie Kolodziej (b. 1999) as well as dyestuffs and related objects from the Joel Snyder Materials Collection.

If you have any questions about access or to request a reasonable accommodation that will facilitate your full participation in this event such as ASL interpreting, captioned videos, Braille or electronic text, food options for individuals with dietary restrictions, etc. please contact the event organizer.
