At Overture Galleries, summer is for being inspired! Their exhibitions highlight how art stimulates thought, motivates action and promotes cross-cultural understanding.
Beki Borman, Nastia Craig and Katie Schutte in Gallery I conduct a journey through the intricate terrain of thoughts and reflection while Gwendolynn Fabert Maitzen and Kaitlin Walsh in Gallery II offer a new perspective to see our inner self – in both physical and mental ways. In Gallery III, Cullen Granzen and Judith Bradshaw-Rouse dive into a cultural moment that may prompt emotions and discussions. In the Playhouse Gallery, UW-Madison glass students showcase their most vulnerable selves and mediums, while in the Rotunda Gallery, Madison's Sister Cities provide a mini-tour around the world that is sure to rouse your wanderlust.
Overture Galleries are always free and open to the public during regular business hours and before and after performances. Most artwork in our exhibitions is for sale.
