An installation by Wisconsin artists Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam is on display at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Carlsten Gallery. “Swept Over the Rug,” featuring contemporary artwork by Grabner and Killam, is on exhibit now through Friday, March 7. Grabner’s depiction of custodial implements memorializes janitorial labor, a concept that emerged from her artist-in residency experience at Kohler Co. She transforms these elements with silverleaf, bronze and porcelain in celebration of their design and use. Her contrast between material experimentation and conceptual rigor is contrasted with Killam’s enthusiasm for traditional genre painting and its histories. While their ongoing engagement with their daily environments may yield different approaches to artmaking, art as a lived experience is something they both value.The Highground, Neillsville / Regular Business Hours

These beautiful “Honor Stars” will help illuminate the Plaza every evening. Each star is lit with 25 LED lights that follow the shape of the star and includes an 8”x9” placard for a loved one to be honored or memorialized. The cost to sponsor an Honor Star is $125 and the stars will be lit for five months. The Highground Holiday Lights program is an effort to create a unique, magical experience at the Park by providing another opportunity for supporters to honor their loved ones during the holiday season. Although the Park is beautiful any time of the year, more people make the journey during the warmer months. We hope this seasonal lighting project encourages supporters and travelers to enjoy the Park even if there’s a lot of white stuff on the ground.

An installation by Wisconsin artists Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam is on display at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Carlsten Gallery. “Swept Over the Rug,” featuring contemporary artwork by Grabner and Killam, is on exhibit now through Friday, March 7. Grabner’s depiction of custodial implements memorializes janitorial labor, a concept that emerged from her artist-in residency experience at Kohler Co. She transforms these elements with silverleaf, bronze and porcelain in celebration of their design and use. Her contrast between material experimentation and conceptual rigor is contrasted with Killam’s enthusiasm for traditional genre painting and its histories. While their ongoing engagement with their daily environments may yield different approaches to artmaking, art as a lived experience is something they both value.The Highground, Neillsville / Regular Business Hours

These beautiful “Honor Stars” will help illuminate the Plaza every evening. Each star is lit with 25 LED lights that follow the shape of the star and includes an 8”x9” placard for a loved one to be honored or memorialized. The cost to sponsor an Honor Star is $125 and the stars will be lit for five months. The Highground Holiday Lights program is an effort to create a unique, magical experience at the Park by providing another opportunity for supporters to honor their loved ones during the holiday season. Although the Park is beautiful any time of the year, more people make the journey during the warmer months. We hope this seasonal lighting project encourages supporters and travelers to enjoy the Park even if there’s a lot of white stuff on the ground.
