2025-11-04 12:00 - 18:00 | UWSP | Carlsten Art Gallery, Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage Street, Stevens Point, 54481, United States
An exciting and diverse exhibition drawing from private art collections in the Stevens Point area! This exhibition shines a light on the personal stories behind each acquisition, revealing the many ways original artwork brings joy and meaning to life.
Two dozen community members—advocates, educators, artists, business leaders, and politicians among them—share a piece from their collection and the story of how it was acquired.
The result is an eclectic mix of works by Wisconsin and international artists, accompanied by heartfelt reflections that affirm the transformative power of living with original art.
