Wisconsin in Watercolor: Life & Legend of Paul Seifert
Join us on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 6:30pm in downtown Mount Horeb at the Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St) as Joe Kapler shares his research on folk artist Paul Seifert and his enigmatic life that informed Kapler's 2018 book "Wisconsin in Watercolor."
The vistas and views of the Driftless have inspired humankind for centuries.150 years ago, German immigrant, farmer and civic leader Paul Seifert felt the same artistic forces. His primitive and highly-sought after works capture the newly settled Southwestern Wisconsin landscape in detailed simplicity.
Mr. Kapler is Lead Curator in the Wisconsin Historical Society's division of Museums and Historic Sites. He has produced numerous major exhibitions, including WHS's 2014 exhibit on Seifert's art, "Wisconsin in Watercolor: The Farmscapes of Paul Seifert." Kapler holds a master’s degree in American history from Marquette University and a master’s degree in museum studies from Eastern Illinois University. He spent three years at the Public Museum of Grand Rapids (Michigan) and joined the staff of the Wisconsin Historical Society in 2001.
This presentation is facilitated by the Wisconsin Historical Society Speakers Bureau.
Book sale and signing to follow.
And while you are here, check out "Within the Driftless by Kathy Hofmann & Ron Lutz II," a limited-run fine arts and photography installation now showing in the Special Exhibits Gallery.

2020's "Student Spotlight" Artists
The Mount Horeb Area Historical Society and Driftless Historium are launching "Student Spotlight," an annual art show celebrating the talent of area youth. This program, developed in partnership with Mount Horeb High School art educators Anna King and Dana Showers, will provide an opportunity for young artists to gain experience producing and promoting a public art installation in a professional setting.
We are pleased to announce that Arianna Tweedy and Benjamin Jaramillo Nicholson have accepted our invitation to be featured in the 2020 inaugural "Student Spotlight" art show. They were selected from a pool of talented Mount Horeb student applicants.
Congratulations to these talented emerging artists!
Arianna and Benjamin will serve as the project managers of a six-week installation of their own works in the Historium’s Kalscheur Family Foundation Community Education Room. They will oversee planning, promotion and execution of the "Student Spotlight" art show and a related artist reception, including management of a related project budget.
Specific show dates and other details are forthcoming.
