Ten Years of Collaboration, Community, and Creativity

The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts is a living building. On any given day, the halls are full of every permutation of artistic practice—a double bass preparing for a concert on the Lower Level; community members flocking through the doors for a panel in the Performance Hall; a jazz concert in Café Logan; student circus performers perfecting acrobatics in Performance Lab 701; an open mic in the Performance Penthouse; countless classes and meetings and practices and rehearsals happening on all levels, in all spaces.

“It’s About Wonder” - Ten Years at ASCI

Julie Marie Lemon has always been interested in revealing what cannot be seen at first glance. While working on her Master’s thesis at The University of Chicago, she examined how images from the Hubble Space Telescope mirror the conventions of oil paintings from the neo-Baroque period. In both the Hubble composites and the paintings, Lemon found, tiny details were made visible. “Deep down,” she says, “There are these connections.” These connections—invisible, powerful, and potentially field-altering—formed the basis for Lemon’s brainchild: the Arts, Science + Culture Initiative (ASCI).
