A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped bring this project to life — the incredible subjects, the dedicated staff at the Sharp Museum and Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, the generous donors who supported the work, and everyone who attended. Your presence and encouragement mean everything.
🖼️ Just about a month left to experience Visions of Us at the Sharp Museum in the Mitchell Gallery at SIUC!
Visions of Us | Southern Illinois Portraits by Paul Elledge 📅 On view: September 9 – December 13, 2025
Visions of Us is a visual celebration of our shared humanity — a reminder that beneath our diverse appearances lies a profound connection that unites us all. Originally shown at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, the exhibition is now on view at the Sharp Museum.
Big thanks to .photography for capturing such beautiful moments at the opening — I’ll be sharing her images throughout the week.
