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? 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 Cheria Gillespie. Member
Artist Deb Sherman will have her work displayed in the Members Gallery at the Beloit Art Center through
the end of the year.

Beloit Art Center - February 2026 Exhibits
February 1, 2026 Beloit, Wisconsin – Beloit Art Center announces February Gallery Exhibits
Beloit Art Center is pleased to announce the February exhibits which will open with a First Friday
Gallery Reception on February 6 from 5-7pm. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6 pm. Both
exhibits will be open through February 26. Kunes GMC Beloit is the proud sponsor of the Sveum Gallery
and Beloit Filmworks is the proud sponsor of the Bell Gallery.
In the Sveum Gallery, artwork by Jerry Jacobs will be on display. His media include pencil
drawings, neon marker posters, and acrylic canvas paintings. Some of his most recent pieces reflect his study
of such artistic greats as Rembrandt and Vermeer. “Starting in my grade school days, I found myself sitting
in a slow-moving classroom, looking around daydreaming with pencil in hand. That’s where my journey
began, drawing doodles and caricatures”.
In the Bell Gallery, Gatewood Girls will be featured. Gatewood Girls is a collaborative body of work
by Charley and Cassie, whose creative roots trace back to growing up one house apart on Gatewood Drive in
Lowell, Indiana. Charley is a photographer and lifelong maker, known for diving deeply into her creative
obsessions and working across mediums with curiosity and intuition. Cassie’s path led her into fashion,
creative work, and community arts. Together, their work reflects a belief in art as a lifestyle.
