Past Year's Events
March 16, 2013 "From Farm to Fork (to Fabulous!)," a show of recent work of S.V. Medaris, Mt. Horeb, and Alicia Rheal, Madison, opened with the annual Wine, Beer and Cheese Gala on March 16 and continued through April 7. An entire day was spent with visits from school children. The first graders immediately went back and wrote poems about what they had seen. Hunter Wicke wrote "I could ride the big, big, big pig. Ride and ride the the big, big , big pig all day."

February 22, 2013 Crossroads Community Theatre presented MURDER IN BLACK & WHITE by Eileen Moushey, an audience participation murder mystery dinner theatre on February 22, February 23 and February 24 that was catered by Lisa's Sweet Shoppe Bakery & Catering. The audience struggled with the puzzle of which Ann White was the murderer, including a male Ann White detective! Some of the audience solved the case; all enjoyed the delicious food and the spirited production of this play.
January 19, 2013 "Stringing Along," an invitational quilt show featured the Milwaukee Art Quilters "Connecting Thread: A Line of Design," winner of the Ultimate Guild Challenge, Knoxville, TN, in 2010 and Sharon Rotz, Mosinee, and her collection of string quilts--traditional to contemporary. The designs, colors, workmanship WOWed each and every visitor. Many appreciated the opportunity to shop at the boutique for smaller quilted works, books, and patterns. This was a unique opportunity to see the work of nationally recognized prize winning quilters. The show opened on January 19, 11-3, and continued on Saturdays and Sundays, 11-3, through February 10. Once again, Sharon Rotz delighted an audience at the Village Hall with her talk on "Diet Quilts" on January 26. Unfortunately, wretched weather and treacherous driving conditions led to the cancellation of Chris Lynn Kirsch's talk on February 10. Nonetheless, the show was once again a grand success. 2014 will again be a juried quilt show. A survey of quilters in 2012 revealed that we should alternate juried shows with an invitational show and we have followed this sound advice.
September 15, 2012 "Artists Free Play: II" juried art show with painting, textiles, photography, all expressing the imaginations of Wisconsin artists. Show opens Saturday, September 15, WOWSPACE, 114 Vinal Street, downtown Wittenberg, and continues on Saturdays and Sundays, 11-3 through September 30. We join the Miles of Art Tour on October 6 and 7, 10-5. Click here for details, including requirements for entering the show.
