SUMMARY:The Scratching Post
DESCRIPTION:The Scratching Post will exhibit works from four local artists during Boneyard Arts Festival: Shauri E. Gonzalez\, Katie Khau\, EKAH and Sydney Bruner. This will be an open house exhibit on the cafe side (cat free) during our normal open hours. \nShauri E Gonzalez: Cats appear in my work as quiet muses of autonomy\, softness\, and subtle rebellion. I create cat art to capture the feeling of living alongside them; the softness\, the mischief\, the comfort. Through my art\, I hope viewers see their own companions reflected back at them and feel that familiar love we share for the cats who choose us. Or perhaps fall in love with cats themselves\, as my depictions place cats in tender\, aesthetic home spaces to highlight their charm and individuality. Another reason I draw cats is to allow me to explore feminism in a way I have not seen explored before\, gentle and sweet. The exploration of one’s interests and reclaiming softness. Similarly\, returning to pink often symbolizes healing and making peace with parts of oneself that were previously suppressed. I use cats as my art theme to feel intimate and cozy. Cats are both rooted in softness and self-possession and the quiet strength of simply being. Cats do not perform for approval. They rest when they want to rest. They ask for affection on their own terms. They observe before they act. There is something profoundly feminist in that. In my drawings\, cats are soft but sovereign. They represent rest without guilt\, affection without submission\, beauty without apology. They remind us that femininity does not have to be loud to be powerful but can be quiet\, watchful\, and unwavering like a cat. \nKatie Khau: Katie Khau is a visual artist and graphic designer based in Champaign\, IL. She does graphic design for museum exhibits at Taylor Studios and does freelance art and design for board games. Katie is on the board of CUDO and co-chair of the CUDO Plays board game design competition. \nEKAH: I am a visual artist originally from Seoul\, South Korea. My family and I immigrated to New York City where I spent most of my formative years. My work visually tells stories using both traditional and modern tools—drawing\, animation\, digital media\, optical illusions\, and interactive art. The worlds I create are often inhabited by characters and environments that range from surreal to absurd. and dystopian or beautiful. Influenced by my multicultural upbringing\, my work evolves through curiosity for the unknown and tendency to challenge expectations. I embrace all media\, remaining agnostic to tools and styles. \nSydney Bruner: Sydney Bruner is an artist based out of Champaign\, IL. She primarily uses acrylic and oil paint. Her artwork focuses on topics of nature\, nostalgia\, pop culture\, feminism\, and introspection. She enjoys working with bright colors\, glitter\, rhinestones\, and iridescent materials. \nFriday 2pm-10pm\nSaturday 2pm-10pm\nSunday 2pm-10pm

SUMMARY:The Cohen Exhibition Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Rivers Network and our friends at the Cohen Exhibition Workshop in Urbana present an exhibition exploring the future of the Illinois landscape—one shaped by restoration\, resilience\, and possibility. Illinois’ landscape tells a powerful story: fertile soils\, vast prairies\, winding rivers\, and communities deeply connected to the land. Today\, that landscape also holds extraordinary opportunity—to restore natural systems while building a healthier and more resilient future for all who call this place home. Imagine: Wetlands filtering drinking water and absorbing excess floodwaters. Prairies supporting biodiversity while storing carbon in deep-rooted soils. Rivers connecting communities across the state while sustaining the ecosystems that make life here possible. This exhibition invites viewers to see the Illinois landscape not only as it is—but as it could become. \nFEATURING: \nTali Weinberg \nKim Curtis \nPeg Shaw \nMatt Harsh \nKelly Hieronymus \nIncluding paintings\, weaving\, video and sound. \nHours:\nFriday from 2pm-7pm\nSaturday from 3pm-8pm

SUMMARY:Age of Aquarius
DESCRIPTION:A duo showcase exhibit of two local artists- a painter and a craftsman. This exhibit merges their styles\, bold colors and organic materials together\, to be seen for the first time! A dedicated room within the shop is where guests can admire and purchase original works\, sip a complementary mocktail\, and be part of the celebration in the first public display of their art for these two artists! \nFeaturing Ryan Bosley and Jonah Kelekoma! \nCanvas paintings with bold colors\, some abstract and others include nature scenes with a psychedelic twist. Artists also use wood as a medium for wood burning elements from nature to abstract designs to semi realism looks on birdhouses. The two come together in the outstanding live edge resin epoxy work. They offer a variety of pieces from coasters to tables\, some simple to highlight the quality wood and craftsmanship\, and others are shocked to create deep fractal\, vein like\, grooves. They use colored and clear epoxy finishes\, giving their work a totally original\, eye catching look. \nApril 10th – 12th : Artist Showcase\nShop hours:\nFri: 12-6\nSat: 9-5\nSun: 12-4

SUMMARY:Blind Pig Brewpub
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Samuel Herndon! (20) 8×10 Silver Gelatin Prints All editions 1/1 One year capturing photographs on 35mm black-and-white film\, each image inspired by a one-word AI prompt. \nThis series investigates the intersection of generative artificial intelligence and traditional photographic practice. Over the span of a year\, the artist produced 35mm black-and-white photographs in response to single-word AI prompts. \nThe project positions analog photography within the context of an expanding digital image ecosystem. At a moment when text-to-image systems can generate limitless visual output in seconds\, Samuel’s work returns to a slower methodology rooted in exposure\, chemical process\, and physical permanence. \nThe series converts minimal digital input into a deliberate physical artifact\, highlighting how interpretation intervenes between prompt and print. \nFriday 4/10/2026: 11:00 AM-11:00 PM\nSaturday 4/11/2026: 11:00 AM-11:00 PM\nSunday 4/12/2025: 11:00 AM- 9:00 PM \nOpening Reception on 4/10/2026 in the evening.

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 10th – 10am-4pm\nSaturday\, April 11th 10am-4pm\nSunday\, April 12th 12-4pm\n“Street Pavers” by Timothy J. Hickey is a series of short videos. The work features the historic brick streets of Champaign\, Illinois and contains subtle\, slow-paced imagery with quiet accompanying ambient audio. The point of view looks downward with a framework of bricks acting as a stage for each video while external forces act upon the static paver bricks below. These changing elements vary with the seasons\, weather\, sky conditions and whatever else is happening. \nThe imagery is reinforced by field-recorded\, ambient sounds occurring during these moments. The videos may contain rain\, snow\, light changes as clouds pass overhead\, trees branches above reflected in puddles below\, wind moving shadows or leaves across the pavers\, vehicle traffic\, bird song and other common neighborhood sounds. \nThe results are a unique exploration of time and place. Stop by the Spurlock Museum anytime during run hours to watch these shorts on a recurring loop and experience selections of Hickey’s work. \nTimothy J. Hickey is a video artist featuring more than a dozen years’ documentation of Champaign’s historic brick paved streets as a stage for sound\, weather and seasons to act upon \nFriday\, April 10th – 6-7pm\nBandoneon Massacre presents a program that spans nearly a century of tango. The performance features music from the 1930s—tango’s “Golden Age”—alongside contemporary works for tango string orchestra from the 2020s. \nThrough lively rhythms\, expressive melodies\, and modern ensemble textures\, the concert highlights both the rich tradition and ongoing evolution of tango\, connecting its historic dance-hall roots with today’s creative interpretations. \nBandoneon Massacre is a community tango orchestra collective based in Champaign-Urbana\, IL. The ensemble was founded in 2011 by tango dancer\, dance instructor\, and bandoneonist Joe Grohens as part of a group of tango dance enthusiasts who wanted to dive deep into the world of tango music and learn how to play it. \nWhile its members have varied\, the love for tango has been consistent. Over 60 professional and amateur musicians have been a part of the group\, including members of the Champaign-Urbana tango dance community\, local musicians\, and university students. \nThe group has primarily studied tango dance music from the 1930s\, 1940s\, and 1950s alongside selections from contemporary tango music composers and arrangers. Bandoneon Massacre has performed in a wide variety of events and venues\, bringing the joy and passion of tango music for dancing and for listening to milongas (tango social dances)\, schools\, community events\, bars and breweries\, and more \nSaturday\, April 11th 4:30pm\nFilm: Five Month Trial – When Gabi’s (Francesca Idoyaga) five-month romance rule collides with Luke’s (Joey Quinn) fear of commitment\, their experiment unravels into a witty\, inclusive portrait of love and self-discovery. Written by Orlando Joubert Jr. and Madison Hook; Directed by Orlando Joubert Jr. (85 min.) \nOrlando Joubert Jr. is a feature film director. \nSunday April 12th 1-3pm\nSpurlock Sunday: Unfinished Revolutions Zine Making Unfinished Revolutions: Living Stories of American Rights explores our ongoing struggle to define\, expand\, and protect America’s promises of liberty\, equality\, and justice. The exhibit doesn’t tell a single story. It invites participants to contribute to telling this complex story from many interpretations and points of view. If you’ve ever watched the summer Olympics\, you’ve likely noticed the popularity of the track and field relay races. Relays involve teams of four runners; each charged with sprinting with the baton and successfully passing it to the next runner. While teammates hold the same responsibility and collective goal\, the how and why of their individual roles may differ. What if we used the metaphor of a relay team for Unfinished Revolutions? Instead of sprinting to the finish line for a track and field relay race\, imagine you’re contributing to an unfinished revolution for liberty\, equality\, and justice.\nWho are you passing the baton to?\nWhat are you fighting for?\nHow does it impact the success of the race?\nThe Spurlock Museum invites you to contribute to the Unfinished Revolutions exhibit by creatively responding to these prompts. You’ll create a page to be included in a special exhibit zine. (Zines\, short for magazines\, are small\, handmade booklets often designed to share special interests or personal stories.) Your page\, created on canvas\, will be put on view in the exhibit and added to the exhibit zine. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to have your voice included in Unfinished Revolutions. Join us for our Spurlock Sunday activity April 12th 1pm-3pm\, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to have your voice included in Unfinished Revolutions. \nMonica M. Scott\, Manager of Community Engagement and Programs\, and Jeffrey Pegram\, Manager of School and Family Programs\, worked collaboratively to design this art making activity in conjunction with Spurlock’s Unfinished Revolutions exhibit and through the lens of their educational roles at the museum. \nFriday\, 4/10 10am-4pm “Street Pavers”\nFriday\, 4/10 6-7pm Bandoneon Massacre\nSaturday\, 4/11 10am-4pm “Street Pavers”\nSaturday\, 4/11 11th 4:30pm Film: Five Month Trial\nSunday\, 4/12 12-4pm “Street Pavers”\nSunday\, 4/12 1-3pm Spurlock Sunday: Unfinished Revolutions Zine Making \n
