Student artwork featured in juried show at UW-Stevens Point

Enjoy student artwork, from graphic design to sculpture, as part of the Juried Student Exhibition at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point through Jan. 25, 2015. 

An opening reception will be held Sunday, Dec. 14, from 2-4 p.m. for the more than 60 pieces on display at the Carlsten Art Gallery, located on the second floor of the Noel Fine Arts Center. The artwork was juried by UW-Stevens Point alumni Jamie (Karoses) Bertsch, ‘09, and Joe Bertsch, ’08. Several student artists were selected for scholarships and awards. Jamie Bertsch is an artist and educator in fibers and foundations at UW-Milwaukee, and her husband, Joe Bertsch, is an artist and educator in 2D and graphic design at Badger Middle School, West Bend. 

“Each artist has considered lessons of art history, contemporary trends and individual voice; and is aware of what each have to offer in their artistic practice,” said the Bertsches. “What is most apparent in all of the submitted work this year is a palpable passion and drive to create work that questions boundaries, solves problems and most importantly, participates in a larger universal conversation.” 

Selected pieces from this show will be for sale as part of ArtsBash 2015, which will be held Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Noel Fine Arts Center. Profits from this sale support student scholarships. 

Free and open to the public, the Carlsten Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday evenings from 7–9 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 1–4 p.m. For more information, see www.uwsp.edu/art-design/Pages/Exhibitions/carlsten.aspx.
