​Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the October exhibits which will open with a First Friday
Gallery Reception on October 3rd from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at6:00 p.m. Both exhibits will be open through October 30, 2025.

Beloit Art Center is excited to welcome nearly 40 regional artists to the Sveum and Bell Galleries in
October for the Beloit Wisconsin Regional Artists Program (WRAP) Exhibit. WRAP originated in 1940 as an outreach program of UW-Madison and is now administered by the Association of Wisconsin Artists (AWA). WRAP encourages nonprofessional, student, and emerging artists to create and exhibit their work across Wisconsin. It is for people who have a serious interest in creating art. Each location coordinates a juror, who gives critiques and awards at the local workshops. These events also include an art demonstration or lecture. The top one third of artwork advances to the state exhibit, which will be held in 2026. Thank you to our Sveum and Bell Gallery sponsor, Nowlan Personal Injury Law.

Looking for more art in the community? Be sure to stop by the Beloit Public Library to view
featured art by Creswell D’sylva and Bagels and More to view featured art by Greg Lamont. Member Artists Ben Henthorn and Jo Christofferson will have their works displayed in the Members Gallery at the Beloit Art Center through the end of the year.
