GALLERY EXHIBITS

Beloit Art Center announces February Gallery Exhibits

1/31/2024

     Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the February exhibits which will open with a First Friday Gallery Reception on February 2nd from 5-7pm. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6 pm. Both exhibits will be open through February 22. In recognition of Black History Month, please join us as we celebrate the work of Danny Burks and Cheria Giles.

    In the Sveum Gallery, we welcome Danny Burks, a longtime resident of Rockford, Illinois. His method of woodworking is called intarsia, which uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create mosaic-like pictures with an illusion of depth. The colors in the wood are all natural, not stained.. Always sketching as a youngster he remembers “clearly how excited I was when my mom
purchased me a tabletop easel. Both of my parents supported me in my art. My father was blind, so he could not see the pieces, but he could feel the wood.”

    In the Bell Gallery, welcome Cheria Giles. Cheria Cheria Gillespie, an artist based out of Beloit, has always been drawn to the arts. Some of her earliest memories are of drawing cartoon characters from her favorite TV shows. Most of her art has that fantastical element to it, reminiscent of how she saw the world when she was younger. More recently she has taken a dive into the digital art world.

    Be sure to stop by the Beloit Public Library to view featured art by Roberta Haakinson, and Bagels and More to view featured art by Jean Apgar.

     Beginning Throwing on the Potter’s Wheel six week class Tuesdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. February 27th through April 2nd.

In order to enroll in this class, students must have taken a pottery class at Beloit Art Center within the last year, be able to confidently
