So Long, Eidolon Art Studio

It was a good run, and a best effort.

Sadly, however, Eidolon Art Studio in Rogers Park will be closing its doors forever on April 19, 2008, when they will have a final show and art sale (more info here).

Tara Noftsier, one of Eidolon's artists, told me about the closing when I ran into her Friday evening. She said that a number of Eidolon's artists have moved out of Rogers Park or become involved in other ventures.

"We made a good impact on the local art community," she said.

Eidolon's beautiful red door brightened the otherwise dreary northeast corner of W. Lunt and N. Glenwood. It was always a pleasure to see the art, some of it humorous and quirky, in the large plate glass windows.

The Bench wishes all of Eidolon's artists the best.
