ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
Visions of Us: Southern Illinois Portraits by Paul Elledge is a celebration of the remarkable people who live here with a new appreciation of their cultural complexities and diversities.
Paul Elledge challenges those who see only stereotypes with an exhibition featuring a variety of people with differing backgrounds, occupations, and outlooks. Ultimately, this exhibition asks “Are we really all that different?” For today’s complex world, Paul Elledge reminds us that men and women with democratic fortitude can rise from the humblest of places. A new vision for social order and harmony unfolds with this exhibition.
