“The Wall, the Crane, and the Statue," photograph by Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman

Inauguration of the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman Gallery

Photographs by Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman will be on display in her exhibition, Reflections. Flynn-Chapman is a photographer and art historian. She began taking photographs to illustrate her doctoral thesis on architecture while at Northwestern University. She found she had a natural affinity for composition saying, “the buildings told me what to shoot.” These photos communicate each building’s presence and their history with the viewer. Her architectural photos became the cornerstone of Flynn-Chapman’s portfolio which expanded to include locations as well as people from around the world.

A long time member of Artspace, Flynn-Chapman has recently been recognized for her contributions to the gallery with the naming of our multi-purpose space in her honor. The space will be officially inaugurated in her name during the opening reception for this month’s shows at 7pm. The Flynn-Chapman Gallery will feature a variety of exhibitions and events including Spotlight shows for our artist members and exhibitions of work by other area nonprofits and schools. The Flynn-Chapman Gallery will also provide space for art classes and workshops. 

A Spotlight exhibition of three Artspace artist members, Ed Tepper, Susanne K. Arnold, and Joel Moses, will be on view in the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman Gallery during the August-September exhibition period. 

Exhibition Dates: August 26-September 17, 2022
