Staying Inspired, Fea. Addison Egnew & Ava Kolb
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.

​4th Annual NATIVE ART MARKETPLACE
Sat, June 4 & Sun, June 5, 2022

​

The Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St) will host the 4th Annual Native Art Marketplace, an invitational art showcase, on Saturday, June 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, June 5, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This celebration of the art and culture of Wisconsin’s First People is a continued partnership effort with Little Eagle Arts Foundation of Wisconsin Dells.
 
Throughout the weekend, seven artists representing a range of Wisconsin tribal communities will be stationed throughout the museum. This talented roster includes Kimberly Crowley (Ho-Chunk), Harmony Hill (Oneida/Ho-Chunk), Karen Ann Hoffman (Oneida), Christopher Sweet (Ho-Chunk/White Earth Ojibway), Brian Szabo (Sicangu Lakota), Josiah Thunder (Ho-Chunk) and Leah Winnishiek (Ho-Chunk). A range of traditional, modern and unique artistry and crafts will be offered for sale, from quill and beadwork to paintings and jewelry.
 
Guests are invited to enjoy and participate in a traditional Ho-Chunk song and dance performance by Elliot Funmaker and Company on Front Street next to the Driftless Historium, to take place Saturday, June 4 at 11:00 a.m.
 
In addition, a free friendship bracelet activity table will offer the young (and young at heart!) a hands-on opportunity to take home a momento of this special day of culture and friendship.

Call (608) 437-6486 or email mthorebahs@gmail.com for more information.
