Peoria Art Guild

Highlighting Women's Art, Kotteman Collection
Tori Phelps

In a unique presentation for central Illinois art aficionados, the Peoria Art Guild is offering two distinct exhibits woven into "Peoria Collects: The George and Norma Kottemann Collection and Peoria Women in the Arts, through 1970," which is on display June 10 to July 23. While the content may have little in common, what the exhibits do share is an opportunity to showcase the Peoria art world and its legacy.

The City of Bloomington recently lost eight-year mayor Judy Markowitz to retirement, but it didn’t lose her as an arts advocate. Though she intends to carve out more personal time, Markowitz also plans to continue her work as Bloomington-Normal’s biggest arts cheerleader.
