The Whitewater Arts Alliance (WAA) is pleased to announce the opening of the “Faces of Fairhaven” exhibit at the Cultural Arts Center Gallery. Running from January 4-26, 2025, this special exhibition celebrates the vibrant community spirit of Fairhaven through a unique collaboration between UW-Whitewater drawing students and Fairhaven residents.

The exhibit features a diverse collection of illustrations and craft projects that capture the essence of Fairhaven’s residents and their stories. Visitors will have the chance to see the remarkable artistic talents of both students and seniors, highlighting the rich heritage and creativity that characterize the Fairhaven community. This meaningful collaboration showcases the unity and shared creativity between Fairhaven residents and UW-Whitewater students.

The “Faces of Fairhaven” exhibit is the result of a collaborative effort among the WAA, Brian Robinson from Fairhaven Senior Services, and Lilly Handley, a drawing instructor at UW Whitewater. Their dedication and vision have brought together the generations in a shared artistic endeavor.

The opening reception will be held on Thursday, January 9, 2025, from 1 pm-4 pm. The gallery hours are Thursdays-Sundays from 12 pm-4 pm. The exhibit will take place at the Cultural ArtsCenter Gallery, located at 402 West Main St, Whitewater.

As part of the WAA’s 20th-anniversary celebration, the “Faces of Fairhaven” exhibit marks two decades of fostering artistic expression and community engagement in Whitewater. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the creativity and spirit of Fairhaven.
