Legacies: Selections from the Elmhurst Art Museum Permanent Collection features dozens of artists from Christo & Jean Claude and Mies van der Rohe to Kay Rosen and Michiko Itatani. The exhibition highlights the relationships between artists, collectors, and museums that lead to larger, ongoing narratives connecting people across time and place. Led by the Museum’s curatorial team, Legacies is open from May 31 through August 17, 2025.

CROSSINGS by Bernard Williams traverses the Museum’s campus and features several dynamic vehicle sculptures circling the Museum and inside Hostetler Gallery, in addition to large paintings in the McCormick House. Through the artworks on view, the artist addresses Black achievement and the concept of mobility as both the physical movement forward and the human aspiration to rise to better circumstances.

Reception ticket includes meeting the featured artists, admission to the entire museum, music, drinks, and light bites.

Advance tickets are required. Space is limited.
