ReLeaf Print

A printmaking exhibition by Jesús Oviedo, Alexandra Antoine, Saul Aguirre, Rayshawn Nowlin, and members of the North Lawndale community. In collaboration with the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.

Opening Reception: June 12, 2025, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

What is ReLeaf Print?

This exhibition will be a powerful engagement with nature and printmaking. Inspired by artifacts from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, North Lawndale residents will make their own prints that will be part of the exhibition - first at the Lawndale Pop-Up Spot in summer 2025, then at the Nature Museum starting fall 2025.
