Special Events: Derek Roth Painting Exhibit

Local artist Derek Roth will display his paintings at the Des Plaines History Center during the month of May. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, May 5th from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. Admission is free.

Roth's work won best of show in oil paint at the 2005 Taste of Des Plaines and has been displayed at galleries, cafes and libraries throughout the Chicagoland area. The artist describes his work as a visual expression of emotion through the use of line, color and layered paint. He says, "Every brush stroke holds my sense of being.

I keep this in mind*from the building of my canvases through the process of laying down my final varnish."

Supported by the City of Des Plaines, the Des Plaines Park District, and the Des Plaines Historical Society, the Des Plaines History Center consists of three facilities, the Visitor Center, the Kinder House, and the Fisher-Wright House. For more information, call 847-391-5399.
