BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Exhibits by artists Jennifer Crescuillo and Burlesque of North America will be on display at Illinois Wesleyan University’s Merwin and Wakeley Galleries beginning Tuesday, Nov. 10 with an artist’s lecture to take place from 4 to 5 p.m. and an opening reception for both shows from 5 to 6 p.m. in the galleries (6 Ames Plaza, Bloomington).

All exhibits and events are free and open to the public. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m., Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. The galleries will be closed Nov. 24 through Nov. 29 for Thanksgiving Break, as well as closed Dec. 1.

The Merwin Gallery will feature Burlesque of North America, a graphic design and screenprinting studio based in Minneapolis, Minn. The studio is formed by a group that once worked on the no longer existent graffiti magazine, Life Sucks Die. Burlesque, lead by creative directors Wes Winship and Mike Davis, has since created album artwork, logos, T-shirt graphics, and concert posters for such groups as The Arcade Fire, Phish, and MGMT. Their Merwin Gallery display will focus on the rock show posters and art prints which have been published, designed and screenprinted at the studio.
