Join us for a thought-provoking panel on the challenges and solutions surrounding homelessness in central Illinois.

Électricité: Illuminating Perspectives
In celebration of Women’s History Month 2025, the Peoria Women’s Club (PWC), in collaboration with the Illinois Women Artists Project (IWAP), is proud to present the inaugural juried exhibition showcasing the work of contemporary female artists from Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties. The exhibition will feature both 2- and 3-dimensional media, and marks the beginning of an annual tradition honoring women and the arts in our community.
Celebrate International Women’s Day with us on March 8, 2025 from 6:00-9:00pm at the Raise a Glass for Women Bar Crawl.
Kristan H. McKinsey, Director of the Illinois Women Artists Project, will present an illustrated lecture on the lives and artistic contributions of several women from central Illinois who pursued creative careers in the 19th and 20th centuries, including two founding members of the Peoria Women’s Club. Through their stories, McKinsey will highlight their significant impact on the region’s cultural history during a time when societal norms largely discouraged women from working outside the home.
Please join us for a light lunch and screening of the movie Origin at the Peoria Women’s Club. We ask that each attendee consider a $10 donation at the door for a lunch of soup, salad, sides, beverage, and dessert.
All PWC and OLLI Members, as well as their guests, are welcome to attend.
RSVP is Required by April 23, 2025.
