The latest partnership project between Chippewa Valley Museum and Artisan Forge Studios explores the past and present journeys of area artists through visual display and select written accounts of their artworks.
“Artists were asked to contribute something to show their beginnings, as well as later pieces to convey how they have changed over time…”
It will be on display at the museum through April 8, 2022. Time-lined pieces feature the creative process and illustrate each individual’s growth from one period to the next. Several artists’ stories also include personal artifacts representing important moments or discoveries along the way.
Guest Curator Christy Ann Skuban explains, “Artists were asked to contribute something to show their beginnings, as well as later pieces to convey how they have changed over time. Those who chose to share artifacts will be spotlighted using special vignettes throughout the exhibit. Visitors will be able to view these to connect with artists and their works on a deeper level.”
The exhibit includes two and three-dimensional works ranging from paintings to cardboard sculptures of a giant chess set to wood-turned pieces and metal work in motion. Photography, fine jewelry, and fiber arts with silk dyeing, embroidery, knotting, and other mediums are also in the gallery. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.
