The exhibition featured works by Hyde Park Art Center members in a variety of media that included photography, works on paper, paintings, and crafts. The exhibition provided Art Center members the opportunity to exhibit their work in a gallery setting and compete for awards given by a jury. The distinguished jurors for the 1991 show were Alan Leder, Director of the Visual Arts Programs for the Illinois Arts Council, and Robert Peters, an installation artist and Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Midway Studios. Prizes were awarded in each exhibition category – Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Crafts and Works on Paper.
