GALLERIES
Our community is rich with artists
working across various mediums.
In downtown Urbana, two womenowned
galleries support dozens
of local artists. In Cinema Gallery,
you'll discover local and regional
artists whose work ranges from
ceramics to sculpture to paintings.
Just down the block, The Gilbert
Gallery highlights nearly 40 local
artists with a variety of mediums
and techniques that will make the
perfect addition to your home.
In Tuscola, The Vault Art Gallery
transformed their historic building
into a gallery with over 50 artists
in 12,000 square feet-a genuinely
diverse display of talent.
Off the Square in Monticello, find
joy in the colorful space at Prairie
Fire Glass. Blown-glass artist Jim
Downey takes excellent care to
create unique pieces to which you'll
instantly feel connected.
Broken Oak Gallery & Studio,
set in a scenic area in White
Heath, is home to artists Judith
Baker-Barrows and Lyn Barrows.
It showcases their photography,
acrylics, oil, and woodturning while
spotlighting other local artists.
The Urbana-Champaign
Independent Media Center, with
a mission of distributing media that
emphasizes underrepresented
voices and perspectives,
hosts workshops, exhibits, and
performances throughout the year
to enjoy. Gallery space allows for
pop-up shows from local artists,
while their main space allows for
performances that empower and
inspire.
LOCAL LOVES
Lisa- " The Independent Media Center (IMC) in Urbana is a secret gem in the
community. This historic building hosts a local radio station, community bike shop,
community maker space, and so much more. The stage and performance area
regularly hosts community events and live music. Come check out the finch aviary, sit in a
comfy chair and read some local zines, fix your bike, meet new people, and find old friends. "
