🎨 Last night, the Peoria Historical Society opened their 62nd Annual Rennick Art Exhibition at the Peoria Riverfront Museum — and the Springdale Cemetery-inspired pieces on display were absolutely breathtaking.
A huge congratulations to Lisa Nelson Raabe for taking home 1st Prize with her beautiful mixed media piece! 🏆
The exhibit runs now through June 7 in the Gilmore Auditorium, and this year's theme — "The Artist as Historian" — is exactly what it sounds like: local artists with a Peoria connection bringing our city's history to vivid life through their work. Admission is free, so come support your local artists!
📍 Peoria Riverfront Museum, 222 SW Washington St. 🕐 Tue–Sat: 10am–5pm | Sun: 12–5pm 📅 Open through June 7
Go check it out while you can - you won't regret it!
