Aurora's Artistic Roots: The Life of Casimir Arcouet

Photographer, painter, and sculptor Casimir Arcouet (1834-1902) was a fixture in Aurora's art community for thirty years. Join us to learn about the life he led in Aurora, his artwork, and his legacy.

Nancy A. Chiles (Arcouet's great-granddaughter) and Anna E. Chiles (great-great-granddaughter) will present a program that speaks to the last 18 years of his life. This program will include never-before-seen artwork by Arcouet preserved for a generation by Leah Arcouet Chiles and her descendants who live in the South and are traveling to Aurora to bring him home.

Join us in person or virtually via Zoom here. Passcode for the Zoom event: Arcouet
