The Eric Show is an annual juried art exhibition hosted by 40 North and the Illini Union in honor of Eric Steffensen, a high school student and aspiring artist who was killed by a drunk driver in 1970. High school students throughout Champaign County are invited to submit works for display in the Illini Union Art Gallery.
The gallery is a bright, airy, and quiet space, and right now it’s filled with some pretty impressive student work. The show will be up through April 14th, so be sure to stop by and spend a few minutes.
