Fifth Year Collective Exhibition
Var Gallery & Studios 643 S. 2nd St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204
Var started with the simple idea of having a collective, creative space, shared by a few artists. Within a mere five years, the gallery has not only lived up to its name (Var as in “variety”), it has certainly surpassed it. Starting with just seven artists in a space, Var now hosts 54 artists in residence. The Var’s “Fifth Year Collective Exhibition” offers not only new work by resident artists, but also invites all past residents to participate. The collective exhibition will feature more than 40 artists—both emerging and established—working in a range of disciplines: painting, drawing, multimedia and more. The installations span interests of identity, community, social relations, trauma, conflict and peace-making. For more information, visit vargallery.com.
