Community Conversations

Bicentennial Ephemera, 1976

Join us at the Schuyler Jail Museum for our final session of Community Conversations: History Belongs to All of Us, a free, facilitated program series brought to you by The Hub – Arts & Cultural Center in partnership with Illinois Humanities!
For this conversation we will be reflecting on bicentennial, or 200th birthday, of the Declaration of Independence which took place in 1976. We will look at an array of ephemera from Illinois’s participation in the bicentennial and analyze the narrative, message, and relative success of each item in meeting its goal of marking the monumental occasion. We will also imagine the artifacts and events we might employ to express our current understanding of American history and values in 2026. Come ready to listen, share, and see history in a whole new way. Bring your curiosity, and your appetite, because the Bread Basket is bringing the snacks!
This event is free and open to the public. You do not need to be an expert in American History to participate (but you totally can be) all are welcome! Recommended for participants middle school age or older.
Conversation facilitated by Moe Billingsley & Xochi Anderson

Build Your Own Bouquet & Floral Still Lifes

Join us for an afternoon of low pressure creating!​

For this program we are partnering with Baehr Branch flowers to offer a low pressure creative experience. Participants will have the opportunity to build a bouquet of fresh cut locally grown flowers, and then experiment with different mediums to create still life portraits. This is a process over product program, meaning activities will focus more on the act of creating and experimenting than on the final product. The goal is to help participants loosen up and have some fun without getting caught up in creating something “perfect”. And the best part is that no matter what you’ll leave with your own lovely bouquet!​

This program is 12+
