Encounters is an art exhibition that gives people the opportunity to encounter other people in their community on a deeper level through art pieces created from individual stories. This year the theme is 'Celebrating Differences', and the prompt artists worked off was, What perspective or experience do you bring that others may not see at first glance?
Hear from some of artists themselves on their creation process and ask questions. There are 40+ individual artists who participated in this, and the exhibition includes community collaborative pieces - so the CV really contributed as well. A handful of these artists interested in engaging in this way will be on a panel. This event is curated and led by local artist and event organizer SZ Putnam. On Monday, the exhibition is open to the public from 10am-8pm. The artist discussion will begin at 6pm.
This exhibition, organized by JONAH, brings together the UWEC Art Department, the EC Area Hmong Mutual Assistance Association (ECAHMAA), BaredFeet, Amy Hahn Art Therapist, and about 40 individual artists/stories of different mediums. This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
