Joan Ruppert | Making the Cut
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition, Joan Ruppert | Making the Cut. The exhibition will be on display from March 28 – April 26, 2026, with an opening reception on Sunday, March 29, from 1–4pm that will be free and open to the public.
Joan Tortorici Ruppert is a television producer and media content creator based in Glenview, IL. Her exhibition Making the Cut showcases live-action collages that combine characters from her late father’s vintage negatives together with contemporary environments. Each new collage is organic, unpredictable, and unrepeatable, disrupting time and space to write new chapters in her family’s story.
