Les Allen
Les Allen is a highly accomplished black and white fine art photographer with a deep passion for his craft. He received his BFA in Painting and Drawing as well as his MFA in Photography and Filmmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Les was inspired by a groundbreaking exhibition of 20th-century photography at the Art Institute of Chicago, which ignited his love for the medium. Through self-teaching and attending various workshops, he honed his skills with prominent photographer Per Volquartz. Les taught art in high schools for 35 years, developing successful photography programs and receiving recognition for his exemplary teaching. Now retired, he dedicates himself fully to analog black and white photography, employing traditional silver gelatin printing techniques. Les's intuitive approach to capturing light and shadow, akin to a painter's sensibilities, invites viewers to bring their own interpretations to his captivating work.

This piece is from a short series of Spring flower photographs. I see the image as realistic and abstract at the same time while presenting in black and white to lean toward the abstract.

Did you ever travel to a place that just felt "right"? You felt more at home there than the place
you called home at the moment.It is your City of Dreams. I created mine right here.

Jeff Stevenson
Dempsey Family Gallery
βManhood: hard to earn, easy to loseβ is an exhibition that explores cultural constructs around the ideas of being a man, masculinity, and either earning or losing manhood. By using found selfies from social media and dating sites as source material, Stevenson paints traditional oil portraits of men and combines them with other objects and images, presenting an opportunity to consider why we assign masculine and feminine traits to objects, and the limitations on our whole human experience by these societal demands and rules. In our current moment of gender awakening, these artworks provide a conversational jumping off point.

Cindy Fonseca
Upstairs Gallery
My name is Cindy Fonseca, and I create oil and acrylic paintings that are inspired by my life experiences and the emotions they evoke. My art is not just about the final product, but the process itself, which involves intricate layers of intentional colors and composition that symbolize the complexity of my inner world. Each piece holds a deeper meaning beyond what is visible on the surface. Through my work, I aim to help others connect with their own emotions and learn more about themselves and the world around them. With over 13 years of experience, I continuously discover new insights about myself and my art.

A ceramist, a visual artist, a photographer, a mixed media artist, a muralist and a painter all walk into a bar. The bartender says, βWhatβll you have?β Each of them has a different drink order and they all have a different perspective.
Together they form a beautifully cohesive group whose art compliments and enriches each other. Their work unifies to form a dramatic, illuminating and evocative show. A collection of six artists representing varying perspectives, a range of mediums and techniques and a wealth of experience.
Among them, the group has a dozen professional degrees and over 200 years of combined experience as professional artists. That is artitude.
