Union Street Gallery, 1527 Otto Blvd., Chicago Heights, is hosting an exhibit titled “Insider Art,” an annual presentation of work from the gallery’s resident studio and guild artists.

“This show promises to maintain the high standards Union Street has been setting all year with its varied fare of curated and juried exhibits featuring prominent artists from all over the nation,” said gallery officials in a news release.

“Insider Art is a diverse and visually stunning exhibit that will captivate your heart and soul. Art exhibited ranges from serene landscapes to large, bold abstractions to urban realism that challenges our notions of identity. There is something for every viewer to connect to and appreciate.”

Gallery members come from Southland communities such as Chicago Heights, Park Forest and New Lenox. Members exhibit together at Union Street one or more times each year and present a mix of styles, media, subjects and approaches to their work.

“Insider Art” runs until July 21. The gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, noon to 6 p.m. Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
