Highland Park’s Famous Artists and Authors Featured In a Collaboration by East on Central, the Highland Park Historical Society, and the Highland Park Public Library
Elliott Miller, president of the Highland Park Historical Society, will speak about the famous authors and artists who have lived and worked in Highland Park over the last 140 years. Highland Park has a long history as a home for creativity, as East on Central continues to prove. Mr. Miller, who has done extensive research on the subject, will demonstrate the depth of that history. According to Mr. Miller, “I was amazed to discover the artists and writers who lived in our city. Some of these people have made a profound impact on the artistic world, and I’d like to help others discover and appreciate our rich heritage.” For more information call East on Central at 847-757-1184 or email us at eastoncentral@comcast.net. Visit our Website at www.eastoncentral.org and Facebook under East on Central. East on Central programming is sponsored by grants from the Highland Park Cultural Arts Commission, The Park District of Highland Park, The Highland Park Community Foundation, and the Illinois Arts Council, a State Agency. The Highland Park Historical Society was formed in 1966. Its museum is a 12 room, two story Italianate Victorian house donated to the Society in 1969 by Jean Butz James. The Society’s mission is to discover, preserve, provide access to and disseminate the history of the general area and of Highland Park, in particular. For more information, you are invited to call 847-432-7090, to visit the museum’s website at www.highlandparkhistory.com and Facebook under Highland Park Historical Society. |
