Wisconsin Labor: A Contemporary Portrait
February 18-April 10, 2011
Opening reception Friday, February 18, 5:30-7:30 pm

In 2007, the Wisconsin Arts Board's Percent for Art program commissioned six photographers to create portraits of contemporary Wisconsin workers. The artists--Dick Blau and Tim Abler (Milwaukee), David Heberlein (River Falls), John Shimon and Julie Lindemann (Manitowoc), and Jamie Young (Madison and Syracuse, NY)--have created a poignant meditation on the nature of work and the impact of the contemporary global economy on Wisconsin labor, highlighting a broad spectrum of jobs.

This exhibition is scheduled to travel to the following venues:
•Wriston Gallery at Lawrence University, Appleton: October 29-November 23, 2010
•Northwestern Mutual Art Gallery at Cardinal Stritch University, Milwaukee: August 22- October 10, 2011
