THE EVANSTON ART CENTER (EAC) ANNOUNCES THE PROCESS OF DISCOVERY
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to The Process of Discovery.
In The Process of Discovery, Julie Rotblatt Amrany embarks on a captivating exploration of
mark-making under the auspices of “process work,” beginning with the kinetic energy inherent in the
motion of the materials. As each mark takes shape, a moment unfolds ripe with potential for further
exploration and expansion. Through this profound exploration of artistic expression, she invites viewers
to embrace the transformative power of the present moment and the boundless potential it holds while
delving into the multifaceted dimensions and limitless wonders of space.
Exhibiting her work nationwide since the early 1980s, Rotblatt Amrany’s vision centers on the fusion of
spiritual and physical elements within realms of physics and astronomy. Bridging art and science, her
work reflects a deep interest in mind-body connection, higher consciousness, and medical and spiritual
healing through various mediums like drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, multimedia, and
installation. She holds a BA from the University of Colorado, an MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at
Lesley University, and a Certificate in Art Education from the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Process of Discovery will be exhibited in the Second Floor Gallery of the Art Center. The opening
reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a
state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.
