BAC Announces August Exhibits

July 27, 2025 - Beloit, Wisconsin – Beloit Art Center announces August Gallery Exhibits
Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the August exhibits which will open with a First Friday
Gallery Reception on August 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6 pm.
Both exhibits will be open through August 28, 2025.

In the Sveum Gallery, the photography of Steve Toole will be on display. Award winning
photographer Steve Toole’s photos have been said to capture the essence, beauty, and sometimes the
desolation of the heartland of America. His photos and digital media work range from realistic monochrome
landscapes to themed abstracts. Toole will also give a Gallery Talk on August 27 at 6 p.m. in the Sveum
Gallery. Thank you to Doug Wetzel of Ashton North LLC for sponsoring the Sveum Gallery August artist.

In the Bell Gallery, artists Lynn Kline and Terry Brabazon will be featured. Kline loves the art of
being creative and paints in acrylic and makes leaded stained glass artwork. Brabazon believes that anything
you do in life can be elevated to art and her paintings and stained glass will be on display. Thank you to
State Farm Oldenburg Agency for sponsoring the Bell Gallery August artists.

The artwork of Abbey Pixler will be on display in the Members Gallery. Looking for more art in the
