WHO WE ARE

At Art Encounter we believe that there are many ways to see, and that art can be a powerful vehicle to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Founded in 1978 by three artists, our mission is to educate, empower, and connect people through interactive encounters with visual art. We welcome the public to join us for our events and programs, including art travel, museum and gallery tours, and visits to private collections, which all help to support our community outreach initiatives in Chicago and beyond.

Joanna Pinsky, Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Art Encounter, oversees our tours, workshops, and programs for youth, seniors, and special needs groups. She has exhibited her shaped paintings and works on paper nationally and internationally. Her work has been shown throughout the Chicago area, including several solo shows at Perimeter Gallery, the Koehnline Museum of Art, and Space 900 Gallery. Her work is featured in several museums, university and private collections. Joanna has a BFA from Cornell University, where she studied painting and art history.

Registration is currently open to full series registrants only. Email info@artencounter.org to add your name to the waitlist for individual sessions.

Maggie Ledbetter, April 3, 2019Visit a collector who bought her contemporary Roscoe Village home because of a window that “provided back-up for one of my prized paintings.” Maggie has over 100 art works, and although she makes art herself, she sees her collection as her more serious art endeavor. Her collection includes oil and acrylic paintings, ink, graphite and marker drawings, collages, photographs and prints. She has several works by four of her favorite artists, painter Katherine Lee from Santa Fe, Filipino-American artist Florencio Yllana, now living in Brazil, Alfredo Zagaceta, a mystical painter from the Peruvian Amazon jungle and Thelonious Stokes, a young Chicagoan creating art about social justice.

Nicole Gordon, April 10, 2019Delve into the vivid, richly detailed world of this artist in our visit to her lovely North Shore home. Her work recalls the “magic realism” movement of the 20th century in her realistic and impeccable style of painting imaginary people and objects. At first glance, Nicole’s paintings seem playful but a closer observation reveals darker stories. We’ll find out how the artist balances raising three young children with a very active life of creating and exhibiting work, and how family life contributes to her ideas.

Diverging from modernism in its content, his art symbolizes issues in contemporary life. Trained in photography, painting and interior architecture, Kathie creates photographs and paintings that seek to juxtapose nature, the built environment and fleeting time. Corey will tell us how his work as an art professor and critic influenced his art, and Kathie will talk about her former experience as a gallerist.
