To the art snobs out there who declare that "painting is dead," get thee to Gillock Gallery. In 2001 Connie Gillock began producing shows out of her Evanston home because she felt no local galleries were showing excellent technical painting. Gillock highlighted many such Midwestern painters, many of them professors at Northwestern University and the School of the Art Institute, throughout the living and dining rooms of her Victorian house. The gallery currently resides on Church Street.
