An update to the Art of Exploration reception: On August 5, 2023, over 60 visitors attended the reception to both meet Dawn Hunter, artist, and purchase her work. Hunter gave a brief speech around 1:45 p.m. talking about her artistic process and background. She is a retired elementary educator which led to her delving into acrylic, collage, and assemblage-working manipulation of a variety of materials since 2002. During this reception, Hunter sold over 15 of her pieces.

The show will continue to viewable in-person and online until August 27. The Cultural Arts Center (CAC) – located at 402 West Main Street, Whitewater, WI – is open Thursdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 4:00 p.m. The show is free to attend.

Hunter will be giving a free workshop for the public to attend on August 17 from 12:00 (noon) to 3:00 p.m. at the CAC. At this workshop, attendees will be making art greeting cards that they can give to their friends and family. All supplies will be provided, and no registration required.
