CHAMPAIGN - This month, the Needful Things Warehouse Gallery welcomes visitors to a solo art exhibit featuring the work of Dr. Ian Wang, a Champaign-based artist, historian and fine art collector. The exhibition runs through Nov. 29. A familiar face in the local arts community, Wang has curated approximately 100 art exhibitions in Champaign-Urbana, at the University of Illinois and throughout the region. He also shared his knowledge and passion for art through a newspaper column that ran for more than a decade.
A longtime Champaign-Urbana resident, Wang is more than an art historian. He is also an avid collector whose personal collection includes more than 1,000 pieces of art.
The Needful Things Warehouse Gallery is located inside the Historic Train Station at 100 N. Chestnut St. in downtown Champaign. The exhibit is open to the public Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
