Naper Settlement and the Naperville Art League are presenting an exhibit featuring more than 35 artworks by league members through April 5 at the settlement’s Pre-Emption House Visitors Center, 523 S. Webster St.
The new exhibit, “Pride, Honor, Tradition,” is included with admission to Naper Settlement.
Local artists’ paintings, drawings, photos and other pieces focus on the themes of heroism, sacrifice and family, settlement officials said. Artwork in one gallery is inspired by the Naperville Fire Department’s 150th anniversary while a second gallery contains works covering a variety of theme-based pieces, according to a Settlement news release.
The art exhibit kicks off Naper Settlement’s year-long celebration of the department’s 150th anniversary. Another exhibit titled, “A Strong Back and a Strong Mind: 150 Years of the Naperville Fire Department,” will open in May.
