Denis Sargent & Michael Velliquette Exhibitions

Opening reception for Denis Sargent & Michael Velliquette side-by-side solo exhibitions. 5:30-7:30 pm with artists' talks beginning at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public.

Milwaukee artist Denis Sargent's series entitled Schemata references nomadic textiles from a variety of cultures. Michael Velliquette, of Madison, creates intricate and ornate cut paper works which are inspired by his interest in subjects ranging from world mythologies and folk art to Symbolism and Art Brut.

The exhibitions are supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts; and by a grant from the Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission with additional funds from the American Girl's Fund for Children and the Overture Foundation. Ongoing support comes from DoubleTree Hotel-Madison and Robert & Carroll Heidemann. The Wisconsin Academy thanks these sponsors for their generous support.

Please Note: The Wisconsin Academy's James Watrous Gallery will be closed December 24, 2009 through January 1, 2010.
