“Emerging Talent IX”, Art Show
Saturdays & Sundays, May 27 ~ June 11, 2023
11 AM – 3 PM, WOWSPACE Gallery
114 Vinal St., Wittenberg, WI
The Walls of Wittenberg is pleased to present its 9th collaboration with the Witt-Birn School District with the Emerging Talents IX Art Show, which will be displaying the original art work of over 100 students, K-12.
During the course of this school year the district’s 3 art teachers, Greg Luedtke, Diana Wendler, and Jamie Wilde, have been selecting several works of art from each section of their art classes, K-12, for exhibition in this show.
On Sunday, June 11th, following the Wittenberg Community Days noon parade, a celebration reception will be held at the WOWSPACE honoring all the exhibiting students. Each participant will receive a Certificate of Merit. Friends and families, along with the public, are encouraged to attend to honor the students and share in the celebration; refreshments will also be served, donated by Lisa’s Sweet Shoppe.
This show is an opportunity to highlight our students’ achievement in the arts; and also allows their talents to be seen beyond their peers, teachers, and parents’ refrigerators! It’s a wonderful way to connect between the students, the school, and the larger community.
This show is sponsored by Walls of Wittenberg, Inc. and The Charitable Foundation.
Don’t miss this show – share in the excitement of the visual arts!
