Join us on Friday, November 1 for Gallery Night!

For more than a decade, the Council has hosted Gallery Night events to celebrate and showcase the work of Wisconsin artists with vision loss who create in a range of media.

Over the years, we have featured work in a wide range of media, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, digital drawings, fiber arts, ceramics, and even a couple of exquisite, hand-tied fishing flies!

This year’s Gallery Night artists are Evelyn Becker, Richard Berkholtz, Illana Dehoyos, Rosemary Fortney, Duncan Hamilton, Janae O’Connell, Lynn Olson, Albert Schmiege, and Nicole Wolf.

We’re grateful to Community Shares of Wisconsin, Numbers 4 Nonprofits, SVA and Kwik Trip for sponsoring this year’s Gallery Night event.

Watch our “Meet the Artists” video below or on YouTube.

“I believe my visual impairment modifies my art. Our job as artists is to take a feeling or experience and share that with the world in a creative way. My visual impairment gives me a unique perspective to share, and I’m glad people who came to Gallery Night at the Council got to share in that experience.”
