The Tarble Arts Center is the teaching museum on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. With an artist-centered approach, the Tarble presents an annual program of rotating exhibitions that provide experiential encounters with art of international significance and local relevance. An onsite Education Lab, Design Lab, and Collection Lab are hubs for transdisciplinary activity, positioning art as a primary tool for research, advancing knowledge, and interpreting the world we live in. The outcomes of this experimentation produce projects, publications, and opportunities that reach EIU students, community members, regional partners, and international collaborators both in the museum and wherever they are. The Tarble’s ongoing stewardship of a permanent collection of contemporary art, American Regionalism, and folk art provides opportunities for study and reflection to students of all ages.

This exhibition explores themes of building a home away from home and interacting with various media to help one feel safe in a new environment. The Tarble's student staff comes from diverse backgrounds, and by cultivating a space that allows them to grow and develop as young adults, Between Here and Home gives them space to do so through direct interaction with and appreciation of the arts.
The staff at the Tarble has become a small family, spending time together outside of work and keeping in touch once we move on from our college careers. Between Here and Home celebrates the joys and comforts the students have found while working in and around art.
Displayed concurrently with the EIU Faculty exhibition, Between Here and Home acknowledges those who have helped and continue to help us find our place here.
