Evanston Made's art show is happening now, along with "Friends of Dorothy's" through June 29. Curated by Emma Rose Gudewicz, Director of Development & Exhibitions at the Evanston Art Center, the exhibition features work by 32 local artists. 

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The title of this exhibition derives from slang used by the gay community in the mid-20th century. During a time when homosexuality was criminalized, many queer individuals used coded language to identify one another safely in public. "Friends of Dorothy’s" highlights work that examines what it is to be queer today and an individual's experience. This show is dedicated to uplifting and highlighting LGBTQIA+ voices in an uncertain world. (
