Life on the Back Nine – A Portrait Exhibition of Barrington Area’s Vibrant Older Adults

June 2018    The Garlands of Barrington

Barrington Cultural Arts Center (BCAC) in conjunction with the Barrington Area Council On Aging (BACOA) has produced an event celebrating Barrington area’s vibrant older adults. Ten local Seniors were recruited by BACOA and BCAC to share their interesting life stories and to pose for individual portraits created by BCAC artists. The result is a month-long exhibit entitled ‘Life on the Back Nine’. A year in the making, the exhibition features over 40 portraits by 18 local artists, with accompanying biographies for each Senior.

Join neighbors at the opening reception on Friday June 1, 2018 at The Garlands of Barrington, 1000 Garlands Lane, Barrington, Illinois, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. The Exhibit may be accessed through the outside Performing Arts Center doors the night of the reception. On following dates please enter through the Main Entrance. The Portrait Exhibition runs June 1 – June 28, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The reception and exhibit are Free to the public.

Barrington Cultural Arts Center (BCAC) is an all volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization made up of local artists. BCAC facilitates the exhibition and sale of its members’ works and provides educational and learning experiences for artists. BACOA is a Barrington Area United Way funded agency serving Senior Citizens and their families in Barrington, North Barrington, South Barrington, Lake Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deer Park and Tower Lakes.

Barrington Cultural Arts Center (BCAC) is proud to sponsor an

exciting project — ‘PLACES AND FACES OF BARRINGTON’.  We

have been creating portrait paintings of Barrington teachers,

police, fireman, merchants, school board, Village President and

others at the Ice House Mall on Thursdays from 9:30-12:00. Our

theme and vision has been BCAC’s way of honoring Barrington’s

150 years.  In conjunction with Barrington’s sesquicentennial

celebration, all are invited to the BCAC preview of these

paintings at the BCAC Gallery located at the Ice House Mall,

200 Applebee,  on June 12th.  The exhibit will run through July.
