Hauntingly intriguing might define many of the pieces found this month at the Whitewater Arts Alliance.
The spirit of Halloween is alive in the gallery, organizers noted in a recent press release, further advising that viewers should use discretion, describing some pieces as potentially “disturbing.”
A collaboration between the Whitewater Arts Alliance and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the show features eight area artists and, collectively, 21 pieces of their work.
The show will be on display through to the end of October both virtually and at the Cultural Arts Center gallery, 402 W. Main Street, Friday through Sunday, from 2 to 4 p.m. Those interested in viewing the show virtually can visit the art alliance website: whitewaterarts.org.
The purpose of the show, organizers recently noted in a press release, is to help connect artists in the Whitewater community and display their talents. Work is created by staff, faculty, students, and alumni of the UW-Whitewater Department of Art and Design.
Art on display represents an array of mediums, including two-dimensional pieces in graphite, charcoal, ink, and printed digital art, and three-dimensional pieces, including ceramic and metal.
The public is asked to wear masks when visiting the Cultural Arts Center regardless of vaccination status.
