May 30, 2024 – 7:00 PM
Peoria Art Guild in colaboration with Bradley University Department of Art & Design will present a performance of artist Bob Diven’s original one-man show “John Singer Sargent: Painting Madame X”.
Sargent’s Portrait of Madame X hangs in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, and was recently featured on the cover of Artists Magazine as one of the top 10 portraits of all time.
Sargent – a child of expatriate Americans – was a rising young star of the Parisian art world at the age of 27 when he began the painting that would become the center of a scandal at the annual Salon of 1884. Deeply wounded by the criticism, he moved to London at the urging of Henry James. Sargent went on to become the most famous portrait painter of his time, and the once scandalous “Portrait of Madame X” became, in the end, his most famous and enduring image.
Now the artist Bob Diven has created a dramatic portrayal of the January evening in 1916 when (an older) John Sargent makes the decision to sell this portrait that he has kept from public view for over 20 years.
Written and performed by Diven, and directed for the stage by Tony Award-winning playwright Mark Medoff (Children of a Lesser God), this is a densely-packed 40 minutes of theater in which Sargent reveals the little-known story of his “Portrait of Madame X”. Immediately followed by a discussion (led by the performer/playwright) the entire program lasts one hour.
This is a unique opportunity to witness the life of an artist, written and performed by an artist. Bob Diven has been a professional working artist for over 44 years, working in both commercial and fine art. He is an award-winning painter and internationally published illustrator, as well as a musician and performer who lives and works in Las Cruces, New Mexico. More information on his work can be found at: www.bobdiven.com.

Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture – breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. THE CHER SHOW is the Tony Award®-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star, and the icon.
THE CHER SHOW is 35 smash hits, six decades of stardom, two rock-star husbands, a Grammy®, an Oscar®, an Emmy®, and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical that will have audiences dancing in the aisles!

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
