ELMHURST ART MUSEUM
150 Cottage Hill
Elmhurst, IL
CROSSINGS is a campus-wide exhibition at the Elmhurst Art Museum showcasing Chicago-based artist Bernard Williams’ vibrant vehicle sculptures and large-scale paintings. Through bold, graphic forms, Williams explores mobility as both physical movement and the pursuit of greater opportunity. Known for his public murals and sculptures, Williams draws from overlooked histories to spotlight Black contributions to transportation and agriculture, honoring figures like pilot Bessie Coleman, NASCAR driver Wendell Scott, and the recent Black Farmers’ Settlement. The exhibition also pays tribute to Elmhurst native and NASCAR champion Fred Lorenzen (1934–2024), connecting national and local legacies of achievement.
