A UW-L art class has been looking at tough questions regarding the profession this semester — questions such as: What does it take for an artist to succeed in a tough economy? How does an artist push his or her work to the next level?
“Everything In-Between: Artwork from the 399 Professional Practices and Problems Class” is the theme for the students as they confront the topics in a panel discussion that accompanies an exhibition. The panel runs from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, April 23, in 124 Wing Technology Center. The discussion will be followed by an opening reception for the exhibit at 6:30 p.m. in the Greengrass Café, 1904 Campbell Road. Both events are free.

Students exhibiting their work include: Elizabeth Brown, Elinor Brown-Lucas, Sabrina Bruehling, Nicole Herrmann, Scott Jablonski, Natalie Kotnik, Rebecca Marks, Ethan Mohoney, Danielle Nolden and Jessica Zickert.
Art Major Bruehling describes art as “a healing force in our society.” Art Education Major Marks believes “the study of art not only opens the mind to new discoveries of the world, but opens the heart to new discoveries of the self.”

Half of the students exhibiting are pursuing art education degrees. They have positive messages about studio practice and artistic vision. Brown says “art does not have to be taught, but it demands to be made: I do not teach art – I teach creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and confidence.” Nolden says “an art educator can never teach a child the wonders of being an artist if they themselves are not engaged in their own art.”
Regular hours for the Student Gallery are noon-1 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, and 4-6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Greengrass Café hours are 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Sundays.
