famil-E and Nature vs Nurture Art Exhibit: Runs through July 30, at The Art Center Highland Park, 1957 Sheridan Road, Highland Park.

The Main Gallery will highlight the exhibit, 'famil-E', with featured artists/guest jurors Sheila, Joyce and Joshua Elias who are exhibiting together for the first time. Audiences will be able to draw their own conclusions pertaining to the question of whether artistic ability is genetically inherited, passed through generations, or is creativity a product of environmental factors. Sheila Elias, mother to Joshua and Joyce, instilled a love of art, exposing her children to her own process throughout their lives. It is impossible to know for sure, sparking the theme for this adjunct exhibition, Nature VS Nurture. For information, (847) 432-1888 or www.theartcenterhp.org.
