Presented as part of Going Dutch, a celebration of female and nonbinary voices in the arts, this solo exhibition features work by Artist-in-Residence Abby Franke.

A 2024 BFA graduate of Herron School of Art + Design, Franke explores the female experience through both personal and societal lenses. Her work spans embroidery, printmaking, and stained glass, maintaining a striking sense of intimacy throughout. She frames femininity as both fragile and forceful, tender and unyielding—inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities that exist in between.

Don’t miss this bold and beautiful exhibition.

This event is supported in part by the Elgin Cultural Arts Commission and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
