UWSP Carlsten Art Gallery hosts ‘Meet Your Mentors’ faculty show

A collection of faculty work is on display this summer at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Carlsten Art Gallery.

“Meet Your Mentors,” featuring work of UW-Stevens Point faculty members, is on exhibit now through Saturday, Sep. 13. An artist reception will be held Thursday, Sep. 4. The gallery, located on the second floor of the Noel Fine Arts Center, is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesdays through Fridays from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The show offers students a unique opportunity to connect with their instructors beyond the classroom. By showcasing personal work, faculty members reveal their artistic processes, inspirations, and professional practices. Collectively, the exhibiting faculty represent all programs within the School of Design and Communication (SDC), including Art, Art History, Graphic Design, Interior Architecture, Media Studies, and Professional Communication.

“The show highlights not only the diverse talent within the SDC, but it also celebrates with the greater Wisconsin community and the expertise and passion that UWSP faculty bring to teaching and their art,” said Carlsen Art Gallery Director Kyle Knoke.

The Carlsten Art Gallery features a diverse range of exhibitions, from burgeoning student talent to internationally recognized artists, with themes that explore topics relevant to our campus and Central Wisconsin communities. Carlsten Gallery is a space for engaging displays and community-driven events. As part of UWSP’s College of Fine Arts and Communication, the gallery fosters an environment of creative exploration and academic excellence, guided by a dedicated team of faculty, staff, and scholars.
