Student Spotlight 2022!
Fri, June 3 - Mon, July 11
The Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St, Mt Horeb) debuts the 3rd Annual Student Spotlight art show on Friday, June 3 featuring the work of Mount Horeb High School Sophomore Ava Kolb and Junior Addison Egnew.
This partner installation, entitled “Staying Inspired,” will be on display and open to all in the Kalscheur Family Foundation Community Gallery during the museum’s open hours through Monday, July 11.
The pieces in “Staying Inspired” represent a variety of artistic mediums and styles, but all are an embodiment of hope in the midst of pandemic upheaval and uncertainty. Kolb and Egnew describe the process of creating art as central to maintaining emotional balance; art, the duo writes, “allowed them to find peace in the chaos of it all.”
The Driftless Historium’s "Student Spotlight” initiative celebrates the talent of area youth. This program, developed in partnership with Mount Horeb High School art educators Anna King and Dana Showers, provides an opportunity for young artists to gain experience producing and promoting a public art installation in a professional setting. Kolb and Egnew were selected by committee from a pool of student applicants.
Drop by the Driftless Historium to meet Ava and Addison at the 2022 Student Spotlight Artist Reception on Sunday, June 19 between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and select works and prints available for sale. 20% of proceeds will be donated to American Lung Association in honor of Addison’s grandmother and all those in our lives who nurture our quest for inspiration.
