Description

Join us on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. at OPRF Museum to hear the insights and stories from award-winning multimedia artist Joe Fournier, an OPRF graduate and Oak Park resident.  Coming weeks before the Presidential Election, Fournier will share examples of his work and his creative process that spans 30 years as an award-winning political cartoonist with the Chicago Tribune, culminating in the emergence of Donald Trump in 2016 and extending to his current campaign between him and Kamala Harris in 2024. 


Fournier is a uniquely authentic artist, using an uncommon yet compelling visual language to help relieve us from an extremely divisive, relentlessly hostile, social climate. Fournier's work has been shown at The National Gallery of Art, The Cannes Film Festival, and he has works in The Library of Congress.  
 

Regular admission rates will apply ($5 residents/ $7 nonresidents/ $3 students/ members free).
