The Museum is both an international destination for Mies van der Rohe scholars and fans and a regional center where people from Chicago and the western suburbs learn to see and think differently through the study of the art, architecture and design of our time.

From December 4-11, during regular museum hours, visit the Elmhurst Art Museum to view a pop-up exhibition featuring artworks created by area middle school students. Inspired by the theme of resilience in Rafael Blanco’s works and life story, we invited students to reflect on what resilience means to them and represent that through art.

These images are just a taste of the student work on view! Art here created by Benjamin (Glen Crest Middle School), Camilla (George Washington Middle School), and Cody (Jackson Middle School).

The museum is open from 12 pm to 5 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 11 am to 5 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
