Celebrating Ken Hoffman – Preston Jackson Gallery

Ken passed away in August 2025 but will be remembered in his artwork that so many have in their homes. Largely composed of borrowed artwork, this exhibit gives all of us the opportunity to collaborate, gather and express how much he and his artwork meant to so many; a visual expression of how many lives he touched.

Whitney Johnson-Lessard: in a warm place by now – Gallery 3R

Waste textiles become paper, found pigments combined with traditional oil become color and relationships with plants become playful compositions that embody solutions to save the environment. The Peoria-based artist teaches art at Peoria Art Guild, Illinois Central College and Bradley University. This project is supported with Arts Dollars funds, provided by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, ArtsPartners of Central Illinois and Community Foundation of Central Illinois.
