Just last week, we hosted artist Donna Van Bogaert at Nohr Gallery for a gallery talk. She discussed the value of having an artistic background and how she defined her own career path despite the labels people gave her. She also shared some of her favorite artists and books, chatted with the audience, and so much more. Bravo, Donna! Thank you for your insights!

If you haven’t already, be sure to stop by the exhibit “The Fiber Art of Donna Van Bogaert: Weaving Artist’s Voice and Process.” Your last day to enjoy this exhibit is October 15.

A gallery talk with Donna Van Bogaert will be this afternoon at 2 p.m. Donna will discuss how her farm background and undergrad experience at UW-Platteville informed her early impressions of her identity as an artist while seeing the limitations in that label, and how the study of art and psychology at UW-P was the springboard for future research in adult creativity and an eventual PhD in Cancer Communication with an emphasis in Cognitive Preferences.

She will reflect on how her art has evolved and how her eclectic professional experiences reflect the weaving of creative approaches from art to work and work to art. The current exhibition will be discussed as a manifestation of the journey finding voice and creative process.

See you soon!

Come take a seat in the gallery this Tuesday, September 29 at 2 p.m. for an interactive talk with artist Donna Van Bogaert. During this hour-long presentation, Donna will explore the weight of our cognitive disposition, education, heritage, life experiences, and intuition on the design of a creative life, development of the artist’s voice, and influences on an individual’s creative process. She will share her thoughts about the career choices that provided opportunities to develop her creative process and how her eclectic professional experiences reflect the weaving of creative approaches from art to work and work to art. The current exhibition will be discussed as a manifestation of the journey finding voice and creative process.

Nohr Gallery is located in the lower-level of Ullsvik Hall on the UW-Platteville campus.

What an exciting year! We shared a whopping eight art events this past academic year, including five art exhibits featuring artworks by teens, students, regional artists, and art faculty. We also hosted a holiday art and craft sale, an artist talk with Bill Mitchell, and our first Slow Art Day event.

It’s time for the gallery to close for the summer but be on the lookout for opportunities to submit your artwork to our shows and events during this next academic year. A call for art for the UW-Platteville Alumni Art Exhibition will be published very soon, and the Small Works Exhibition will return to Nohr Gallery in 2027. We can’t wait to see you back in the gallery this fall!
