December 31, 2023, Beloit, Wisconsin – Beloit Art Center announces January Gallery Exhibits 

Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the January exhibits which will open with a First Friday Gallery Reception on January 5th  from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.  A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6:00 p.m.  Both exhibits will be open through the end of January.

In the Sveum Gallery, we welcome Judith Meyer who was born in Detroit, Michigan. Throughout her childhood and her years at universities, Judith studied different cultures, corresponded with people in Indonesia, The UK, France and Uruguay. “I loved all aspects of these endeavors. I developed an open mind to different ways of thinking, believing, seeing and living. My work, though sometimes not readily apparent, reflects all these experiences as well as how I regard those people who come into my life. Without knowing it, this became a gift that I gave to myself.” Her work centers around her life and global events, stories, myths and personal beliefs. This allows her to have a wide palette from which to move and has inspired her work in many ways over the decades.     
In the Bell Gallery, we welcome Michael Contreras. Michael has always been fascinated with the creative process. Most of his work is in photography, and graphic design, but he has been working on a painting work-flow that he can stay curious about. “Most of my creative work is driven by that curious feeling. “Where can we go from here?” “What can we make now?”. It’s always been a priority for me to hold on to that curious feeling over anything else.” He finds himself thinking about painting in terms of concept, iconography, text, and aesthetics. 

​Be sure to stop by the Beloit Public Library between now and the end of March to view art by
Roberta Haakinson.
