Consciousness in Craft

Join us as we welcome Whitney Salgado as our first artist in residence of the 2025-26 cohort. Consciousness & Craft is rooted in intention and focused on utilizing one’s hands and memory to create. Salgado’s work often serves as a visual dialogue for digital art and work created through digital programs and tools. Paired with traditional Mexican folk art, the craftsmanship of their grandparents, and Salgado’s digital work navigating around themes of mental health & trauma, this residency reflects on what it means to be human and create. We hope to see you in the gallery.

Free to Feel: Creating from Emotions, An Interactive Art Experience by Anne Koller

In Free to Feel, emotions are the paint, and each viewer becomes part of the canvas. Milwaukee-born Anne Koller — artist, author, yogi, and somatic water healer — shares a journey to feel deeply, live boldly, and discover what happens when we create from emotions. How can we still our minds to hear what is deep in our hearts? How can we embrace the full spectrum of being human — the longing and exhilaration, the anxiety and wonder — and create beauty from this complexity? Through channeled art, movement, music, video, and community-based work rooted in peace, love, and transformation, Free to Feel dares to ask these questions and invites you into their living answers. Anne welcomes you as co-creator and witness, wondering what you will create from your emotions.

SEEN/UNSEEN

Seen/Unseen presents the work of two photo-based artists that employ experimental, historically rich photographic processes that engage with issues of gender, power, and representation, including perceptions of beauty, masculinity and femininity.

Tara Bogart’s cyanotypes, videos and prints examine gender and the processes of aging through a striking use of vibrant, painterly hues and a crisp, meticulous centering of the human body.

Christa Blackwood’s photographs incorporate an evocative use of embellished color and scale, as well as marbling and other manipulations of silver gelatin prints as a commentary of the male gaze and the ongoing objectification of women.

Both bodies of work pay homage to the pioneering work of Victorian photographers Anna Atkins (1799-1871) and Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879). Together, these recent works highlight gendered distinctions between the representation and assessment of women and men’s bodies in media and other visual culture realms, past and present.

‘Til Death Do Us Art – The Fine Art of Tattoo Artists

Join us for ‘Til Death Do Us Art, a fine art exhibition featuring the works of the tattoo artists from Black Sheep Tattoo. This exhibition honors the transition from skin to canvas, from ink to form. Step into a world where the inked line transcends flesh and enters new dimensions of artistic expression. ‘Til Death Do Us Art is a fine art exhibition that unveils the lesser-seen creative powers of renowned tattoo artists, showcasing their mastery in 2-D paintings & drawings and 3-D works as well. Known for transforming bodies into living canvases, these artists now reveal the mythic, symbolic and deeply personal visions that emerge when the skin is no longer the boundary. ‘Til Death Do Us Art is not just a celebration of artistic versatility – it is a reclamation of the tattoo artist as a fine artist, philosopher and storyteller.

Bridge Work 11

Bridge Work-Milwaukee is facilitated by Plum Blossom Initiative (PBI) and Var Gallery and Studios. In 2015, Milwaukee-based artist Jason S. Yi and Madison-based curator Leah Kolb formed Plum Blossom Initiative (PBI) as a vehicle through which to bridge the gap between the Madison and Milwaukee arts communities and to support local up-and-coming artists. Their collaboration resulted in the development of the first Bridge Work chapter. Thanks to a partnership beginning in 2018 with Josh Hintz, owner and director of Var Gallery and Studios, BW-Milwaukee artists receive a free studio space for the duration of the program, along with Var’s artist-in-residence benefits, including access to a wood shop and kiln, free admission to events, the ability to participate in Var community exhibitions, and other perks. The annual BW-Milwaukee exhibition is presented at Var Gallery each October.
