The Living Canvas Experience
An Exhibition Celebrating 25 Years of Art and the Body
July 30 — August 8, 2026
In addition to commemorating 25 years of Living Canvas performances, this special event featured the first-ever immersive exhibition of close to 40 years of Living Canvas photography, celebrating body acceptance through the use of light-and-shadow and projected textures with over 160 images and an interactive viewing experience (many of our visitors became a Living Canvas for a bit themselves).
The exhibit run concluded with public Living Canvas performances. It all took place at the beautiful Bramble Arts Loft in Chicago.
The Living Canvas: The Book
Next up for The Living Canvas is a hardcover photo book (expected in 2027) filled with Living Canvas photos, plus the history of The Living Canvas and the stories of the people whose lives were touched. More here.
