Between the Lines Art Reception and Exhibition

Opening Reception
Friday, December 7th, 2007
4:30pm to 9:30pm
The Tom Robinson Gallery
2416 West North Avenue
Chicago

‘Between the Lines’ is an exciting art exhibition by teen artists in collaboration with artist Tom Robinson. The exhibition features drawings, paintings and mixed media works of art which explore identity and the perceptions (and misperceptions) we make about ourselves and others.
Teen artists have created self-portraits that both expand and challenge societal labels. In turn, artist Tom Robinson has created portraits of these young men and women that reveal their unique spirits and emotional complexity.

‘Between the Lines’ is open every weekend in December
Saturdays and Sundays 11am-5pm and by appointment

Artist Tom Robinson- 773-227-3144
