Oakton Museum Receives Grant
The Koehnline Museum of Art at Oakton Community College is the recipient of a $1,530 grant from the Illinois Arts Council, College officials said.
The grant, obtained by curator Nathan Harpaz, will partially fund an exhibition catalog for Convergence: Jewish and African American Artists in Depression-era Chicago, which opens Thursday, Feb. 7, 2008 and runs through Friday, March 28. This exhibition documents the cooperative spirit that existed between Jewish and African American artists during the 1930s.
Located on Oakton's Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road, the KMA is named for William A. Koehnline, who served as the College's first president from 1969 to 1984.
Museum hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 847-635-2633, or visit www.oakton.edu/museum.
