It is off the wall!

Faculty Associate and UW-Madison alumni Michael Velliquette’s exhibition at Edgewood College Art Gallery literally jumps off the wall. His cut paper assemblages are paired with text by Quan Barry. If you were unable to visit the exhibit when it was installed, take a moment to see photos of the Loose Strife exhibition at this link.

Henry David Thoreau

From Ann Parker's print portfolio "Getting to know Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau, the American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist turns 150 years old this year. In 1993 Baraboo Artist and UW-Madison printmaking alum Ann Parker produced and installed 18, 30”x 50” prints to fit together to create a continuous image, 54’ long, that winds around the the entry area of the school. You can see the prints on AnnPerryParkerPrints, a site that I designed to help promote sales.
