Beloit Art Center - January 2026 Exhibits   December 28, 2025 Beloit, Wisconsin – Beloit Art Center announces January Gallery Exhibits Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the June exhibits which will open with a First Friday Gallery Reception on January 2 from 5-7pm. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6 pm. Both exhibits will be open through the end of the month. Daley Murphy Wisch and Associates is the proud sponsor of both the Sveum and the Bell Gallery artists. In the Sveum Gallery, artwork by Kristine Moser. After dabbling with paint, pastels, collages, photography, and clay, it is color and textiles that Kristine is most passionate about. She creates works people want to touch. Fiber gives her designs more warmth and dimension and the next design always asks for more. “My creative essence was only defined through change, the death of loved ones, and moving too many times. It is only through these changes one starts to see what is left of the original self.” In the Bell Gallery, artwork by Tara Glenny will be featured. Most inspired by nostalgic objects, Tara’s work is created primarily from life with subjects under natural light. She gives a nod to the Old Masters as she strives to restore beauty, craft, and technical prowess to the contemporary art world through her paintings. Looking for more art in the community?
