Current Exhibition

Tall Grass Arts Association will present a new show, The Chicago Society of Artists

Member Exhibit, opening on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 1:00pm-3:00pm.

Artists who have been widely exhibited and recognized with honors in dozens of gallery

and museum shows will share works in a broad range of subjects and techniques.

The Chicago Society of Artists is a non-profit organization started in 1887. Now well into

its second century, CSA is the oldest continuing artist association in the United States.

Since its incorporation in 1889, the primary objective of CSA has been the advancement

of art.

Early members of the Chicago Society of Artists established and maintained high

standards for membership. Much of CSA’s renown is due to member versatility which

includes painters, graphic artists, print makers, photographers, sculptors, art critics,

art gallery curators and art educators.

The CSA artists included in the Tall Grass show are: Rene Arceo, Jon Balke,

Norman Baugher, Shel Beugen, Angela Dieffenbach, Bill Dixon, Barbara Eberhard,

Hank Erdmann, Nikkole Huss, Patricia Coffman Huss, Robert Johnson, Fred Koehler,

Katie Luo, Donna Nevels, Julia Oehmke, Deanna Withers Rallins, Geneva Reed,

Jay Reed, Richard Schmidt, Tim Seery, and June Erickson Swart.

Today CSA continues to play a significant role in the arts – often far beyond the

boundaries of Chicago – by providing opportunities in which artists share their art

production and experiences through a continuing series of exhibitions and educational

programs.

The Chicago Society of Artists Member Exhibit will run from April 26 through

May 31, 2025 at Tall Grass. Curators for the show, Claudia Craemer and Debbie

Craemer, invite everyone to visit the exhibit and meet the artists at the Opening

Reception on April 26, 1-3pm, and during regular Gallery hours, Tuesdays

through Saturdays, 11am – 4pm.
