Artist of the Corridor Reception

The City of Urbana invites the public to an opening of the current “Artist of the Corridor” art exhibit featuring the work of Betsem Atiback Benjamin.

On Wednesday, June 16th, from 4:00 – 5:00pm, a reception will be held in the City Building at 400 S. Vine Street to meet the artist Betsem Atiback Benjamin and view his work. Benjamin’s work will be on display until August 2, 2010 and is open to the public.

The City created an art exhibit space in March 2010 to feature artwork by Urbana artists in the City Building. The Artist of the Corridor exhibits are displayed for a period of two months. This program is part of the Urbana Public Arts Program that works to create a city where all residents engage with the arts in its many forms and where artists thrive and are valued.
