May 31st - September 30th Cleve Carney Museum of Art, Glen Ellyn, IL. Waves of DuPage Beautiful Cities Public Art Project. This project invites each city in DuPage County to submit one or more of their iconic landmarks, reimagined in the traditional Ukiyo-e art style. These illustrations will be used to promote and celebrate the unique character and beauty of each city, blending the rich cultural history of DuPage with the timeless elegance of Japanese art. This project is being presented by the Clev Carney Museum of Art and will be showcased alongside the Hokusai exhibition in the summer of 2025. As part of the initiative, 30 original illustrations have been commissioned specifically for the exhibit.

This project invites each city in DuPage County to submit one or more of their iconic landmarks, reimagined in the traditional Ukiyo-e art style in a contemporary approach. The goal is to create an imaginative and beautifully stylized landscape that blends past and present.

Alongside the exhibition are the village unveilings, and I am truly moved by the outpouring of enthusiasm and support.

The street was closed to accommodate seating as Mayor Mary Jo Mullen addressed the crowd from the podium.
