The “Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World ” exhibition at Cleve Carney Museum of Art at College of DuPage May 31-September 21 showcases over 60 works and artifacts by the masters of Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige are a window into the life during this time when the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. The collection includes original painted works, intricate color woodblock prints and instruments, and other beautifully lacquered objects.
The library is one of several iconic landmarks in DuPage County represented in “Waves of DuPage: Beautiful Cities Public Art Project” presented by McAninch Arts Center (MAC). You can view artist Richard Lo’s ukiyo-e style depiction of the library on the cover of the summer 2025 issue of The Guide and on the west windows of the library, near the Drive-Up window.
