Lake Forest, Ill.— Lake Forest College’s Sonnenschein Gallery will open an exhibition by mixed-media artist Margaret Rutherford on Thursday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the Durand Art Institute on the College’s North Campus, near the intersection of Sheridan and Deerpath roads. Rutherford’s mother was a Holocaust survivor who lost most of her family during the occupation of Budapest, Hungary.

Rutherford currently resides in New Mexico and her work has been exhibited throughout the United States. The show will run through March 28. Gallery hours are 2:30 –5 p.m. daily, including weekends. The gallery will be closed during the College’s spring break from March 6-14. The exhibit is open to the public and is free of charge. For more information, please call 847-735-5194.
