Also enjoy the museum’s latest
exhibition entitled Andre Ferrella: Artist of the Spirit, a
spectacular exhibition of mystery and discovery that runs through
January 7, 2007. An internationally celebrated multi-media artist,
painter, and photographer, Andre Ferrella emphasizes thoughtful
consideration of our place in the universe while producing
imaginative, luminous images. In addition to the indoor gallery
displays, he uses the architectural award-winning building itself as
a palette for his unique large-scale animated projections. The
exterior light installation is free of charge and on view each
evening until midnight. The museum’s remaining educational programs
can give you a better understanding of the artwork and the process
behind their creation. For more information visit

The Elmhurst Art Museum’s
award-winning modern museum structure incorporates the Ludwig Mies
van der Rohe-designed McCormick House, one of three such residences
designed by the internationally known architect, and contains museum
galleries, an education center and a variety of outdoor sculpture.
Located only 15 miles west of Chicago and adjacent to the Metra West
train line, the Museum offers public tours and programs, guest
lectures and art classes on a regular basis. Its mission is to
enrich the lives of its visitors by broadening their knowledge,
increasing their sensitivity to the fine arts and sparking the
development of their own creative talents.
