The Peoria Riverfront Museum’s new “American Revolutionaries: Art & Disruption” shows a cross-section of styles from American artists unafraid of upending The Way We’ve Always Done It. The first time central Illinois has had access to the prestigious Art Bridges collection, the curated art blends with works from the museum’s collection. Fifteen featured artists range from 19th century landscape painter George Henry Durrie (illustrator for Currier and Ives) to feminist and multi-media artist Judy Chicago. The exhibit will remain until next spring.
