galleries - march 2010
With a world-class art gallery in Milwaukee and outstanding public galleries in communities from Racine to Kohler, it's not surprising that the private gallery scene is extremely active.
Opening March 13 at the TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233 N. Milwaukee St. in the Historic Third Ward, is an exhibition called “Shells & Seascapes,” featuring the tranquil scenes and serene still lifes of Laura Dronzek, a Wisconsin painter and children’s book illustrator.
The many antique shops south of the Third Ward in the Walker's Point/Fifth Ward area provide real "finds." RIVERVIEW ANTIQUE MARKET at 175 S. Water St. is home to a large number of area antique dealers.
DAVID BARNETT GALLERY, 1024 E. State St. overlooking Lake Michigan, is warming visitors by displaying artworks produced under the influence of warm climates – Mexico, New Guinea, Cuba, Egypt, Indonesia, Haiti, Latin America and Africa. The exhibit will run through April 10.
Art browsing opportunities abound in all parts of the metro area. A short drive west from downtown Milwaukee is LANDMARKS GALLERY, 231 N. 76th St., a popular gallery, which also is a specialist in the restoration of artwork and photographs. For visitors wishing to recall area landmarks or residents looking for great cards to send friends, Landmarks has introduced a line of Hyper-Color cards and prints, featuring Milwaukee, Wauwatosa and Oconomowoc sights digitally highlighted in bright colors by Jill Ray.
To the north of downtown Milwaukee in Glendale's Bayshore Town Center, URBAN ACCENTS GALLERY focuses on Wisconsin artists and also features a wide range of unique gift items.
Farther north Historic Cedarburg is home to Cedar Creek Settlement, where CEDAR CREEK POTTERY offers the work skilled ceramic artists from across North America. Also in the Settlement, you'll want to stop by LEAP OF FAITH, which carries a wide variety of artistic gift items.
Just across Bridge Street from the Settlement is ALL THAT PIZZAZZ, committed to promoting artistic products "Made in America."
