Frankfort Arts Association Debuts New Exhibition, Fundraiser

FRANKFORT, IL — The Frankfort Arts Association will present a new exhibition, which will support a scholarship for a Frankfort student pursuing a degree in the arts, according to the organization.

"Resonance: Vibrant Visions for Artistic Futures," celebrates the intersection of music and visual art, the association said. The exhibition features violins, which have been transformed into works of art by local artists.

The violins, which were beyond repair and no longer playable, were donated by a music school, according to the association.

An opening reception for the exhibition will be held Thursday, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at Frankfort Village Hall. "Resonance" is also an auction and fundraiser, with bids and donations supporting the scholarship.

Bidding on the violins will begin at 8 a.m. on March 13, and end at 8 p.m. on March 27.

The opening reception on March 13 is free to attend, and there will be light refreshments and music by the Lincoln-Way Youth Strings.
