Can graphic design transform a neighborhood?

In their newly published book, "Supergraphic Landscapes: From Public Art to Urban Design," professors Joseph Altshuler (Architecture) and Nekita Thomas (Art & Design) explore how graphics can turn everyday streets, sidewalks, and public spaces into places for play, connection, belonging, and change.

As they put it: “Graphics do not simply convey information--they construct environments.”

Congratulations Joseph and Nekita!!

This November, Illinois Theatre kicks off their 26-27 season with 2019 Pulitzer Prize winning Drama: Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury.

As the Fraisier household prepares for Grandma's birthday party, Beverly holds onto her sanity by a thread. Her sister won't help, her husband won't listen, her brother can't be bothered to show up, and her daughter is a teenager. Is anything what it seems in the first place...?

Fairview is a searing examination of families, drama, family dramas and the insidiousness of white supremacy; an experimental masterpiece sure to leave a searing imprint. *Fairview is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.

🎭 Illinois Theatre presents: Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury
🗓️ Nov. 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, & 14
