A few weeks before the 2018 Oak Street Fine Arts Fair, we spent a fun morning talking with reporter Chanda Green as Byron Hetzler snapped photos. We loved the new feature story, Collective Souls: Oak Street Artists Nurture the Connections between Art and Community. Pick up a copy of the (beautiful, full-color, glossy) magazine where The Southern Illinoisan is sold, and see Chanda's story and Byron's photos online at the Life & Style website here.

2018 Memorial Day Open Studio: "Wildlife" with Printmaker Luca Cruzat, Monday, May 28, 2-5 p.m.5/20/2018 Printmaker and Oak Street Art member Luca Cruzat invites you to visit her studio this Memorial Day between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. Her open studio and nature-themed Wildlife exhibit are being hosted in conjunction with the General John A. Logan Museum sesquicentennial Memorial Day celebration in Murphysboro. If you haven't been to Luca's studio (and even if you have), you will be in for a treat! In her new location at the corner of Edith and 16th Streets in Murphysboro (see map below: formerly the Hughes Gallery, just down the street from the museum), Luca welcomes you to come see her art in person, especially some of her recent pieces highlighting nature. On the right side of the image below is one of Luca's collagraphs, Flowered Crown. Luca is internationally known for her intricate collagraphy and other work.  We are so grateful to the organizations and businesses supporting the 2018 art fair coming up Saturday! (See links below the graphic.) Event RSVP here.
