Overture Galleries
Now in their eigth season, the Overture Galleries create a forum for diverse artistic expression that fosters the growth of local artists and arts organizations. Located inside Overture Center, Galleries I, II and III radiate off the Rotunda lobby. Exhibitions are selected through an application process. Applications are reviewed by a committee composed of of local artists, arts professionals and educators and present a lively variety of Dane County artists. The Galleries reflect both the quality and diversity of the visual arts in our area - presenting professional and emerging artists, UW art students, community projects and the creative endeavors of young people.
