“ArtsBuild Annual 2011” Reception - Tuesday

ArtsBuild is delighted to be hosting its third “ArtsBuild Annual”, a juried exhibition of program participants’ artwork. As always, the use of the term "artwork" is rather flexible. The pieces, from entrepreneurial artists all over the region, feature two and three-dimensional art forms. This wide variety of works includes photography, watercolor, ink, fiber, oil, wax, and some with a broad mix of materials.





"The jurors for the 2011 exhibition, Dunnell Kendrick-Parker and Judith Sutcliffe, selected a body of work that reflects skill and competency in a wide range of materials, as well as revealing a broad spectrum of subject matter and intellectual concerns,” said Carole Spelic’, ArtsBuild program coordinator.

This year’s edition includes 60 pieces from 23 artists:

Helen Anderson
Gordon Glass
Leonard Ross
Shirley Audetat
Bill Grover
Ben Russell
Kate Bausch
Mary Zierold Holcomb
Michael J. Smith
Charles Behnke
Nona Hyytinen
Sharon Stauffer
Greg Bykowski
Carye VanDer Pol Mahoney
Brian Stuart
Tina Duemler
Joella Miller
Lauren Thuli
Jillian Eggert
Richard Moninski
Marie Whisenant
Karen Fitzsimons
Jeb Prazak


Students, faculty, staff and the public are invited to a special opening reception for the artists on Tuesday, February 15, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Admission is free and refreshments will be served in the Nohr Gallery in Ullsvik Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus. Attending the reception is a great way to interact and network with the artists.

The exhibition will open Monday, Feb. 14 and continue to run through Friday, March 11. Nohr Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (Tuesdays until 8:00 p.m.); and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
