2025 VISUAL STORYTELLING
Works that tell a story. From the rich tradition of women telling tales through quilting and needlework, bedtime fables, family history, or impressions of our community, the visual arts develop intuitive vocabulary. What are the stories that describe our lives? Is it a narrative from literature or myth, or is it a combination of images, patterns and colors that convey our emotions?
ARTISTS:
Joan Ackerman-Zimny, Sandie Bacon, Beth Dary, Lorette Dodt, Anne Farley Gaines, Samira Gdisis, Rosemary Giusti Dillon, Donna Goetze Bliss, Lourdes S. Guerrero, Jeanine Hill-Soldner, Lisa KC, Louie Laskowski, Bert Leveille, Lynne Mackenzie, Stacey Magliaro, Roberta Malkin, Anita Ivy Miller, Andrea Munday, Carol Myers, Kristen Neveu, Laura O’Connor, Barbara Skiba-Poniatowski

2025 MIDWEST NATURE: its beauty and its peril
Artworks express the beauty of nature in the Midwest — literally, abstractly and metaphorically. How we are connected to the nature around us? Selected works range from manicured gardens to prairie grasses and native flowers, to the water and the sky above, some conveying concerns about how some natural areas are negatively affected by extreme environmental issues such as drought and flooding caused by climate change.
