Welcome to Lightbox, where art and commerce converge to celebrate local talent. Facing the high traffic road of Neil Street, our space is more than just a place of business—it's a unique gallery showcasing the diverse and dynamic works of our community's artists. Original work is rotated twice a year.
We take pride in highlighting local artists who reflect the depth of talent in our community and providing a platform for artists to reach new audiences and thrive. Contact us for more information about becoming a featured artist.

Every year, monarch butterflies create a special link between central Illinois and Mexico, traveling thousands of miles between the two. They rely on Illinois’ wildflowers and milkweed to fuel their journey before settling in Mexico’s forests for the winter. This incredible migration connects our countries and our landscapes and reminds us how important it is to protect their path.
Lisa Kesler is a native of Central Illinois. She has a degree in painting from the University of Illinois and a masters degree in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She works as a painter, illustrator, printmaker, and instructor from her studio in Champaign, IL.
