text: Krannert Art Museum is lucky to have a Director that actually believes art should stimulate and provoke thoughtand that is exactly what she does with the exhibitions I have seen there so far This would be the local equivalent to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco cool social events and openings for a crossgenerational and crosscultural crowd What I love most about KAM is that I have had some great conversations standing around the lobby of a show and there is no snotty art culture where people blather on about high art and how it is so much better than anything and everyone They do not play those games here even though this is the nd largest art institute in IL outside of the Chicago Art Institute Impressive yes Pretentious no
