Senior Molly Gwitt was preparing for the 2021 Senior Art Exhibition and was elbow-deep, mixing clay for ceramics class, when Lindsay Heuhns took this image and posted on Instagram. Gwitt is a double major in Arts Management and Fine Arts with an emphasis in ceramics. The Green Bay native will graduate in May 2021.
Alumna Audrey Mae Off graduated from UW-Green Bay with a degree in art and worked for a time in graphic arts. She came to run her own business after first working at Harmann’s Studio in framing, gallery management and retouching. Then she moved to Orthober’s Gallery & Framery and learned about photo and art editing programs before buying the gallery in 2002.

On Thursday, Feb. 11 2021, you can be one of the first to preview the Art Preserve, the new home of the John Michael Arts Center’s world-renowned collection of artist-built environments. The Art Preserve’s grand opening won’t be until June, but the Division of Continuing Education and Community Engagement has coordinated an early virtual tour.
The Art Preserve offers a new kind of museum experience, allowing visitors to see thousands of works previously kept in closed storage. We’ll explore how artists from Wisconsin and beyond transformed their spaces into densely-packed creative environments filled with sculptures, paintings, signs, collections, and more. We’ll also see responses to those environments from contemporary artists who’ve been inspired by the collection.
There is a nominal fee, and a link will be sent via email a few days prior to the event.
The results are in for the 48th Annual Juried Student Exhibition! Awards for the student artists that have work displayed, were recently announced and are listed below. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of this show. If you didn’t have a chance to see the show in person, there is still time! The exhibition will be up until December 12th, or you can view the entire gallery and the work featured in it from the comfort of your own home on the Lawton Gallery Flickr account. Keep your eyes peeled for the Spring 2021 exhibition schedule!
