The Sisters Bigalke, Lisa and Rebecca, defined themselves, variously, as helpers, volunteers, facilitators, and catalysts. By any name, they, with contributing artist, Josh Frazer, were organizing and preparing to hang 42 submissions for ArtWorks’ inaugural exhibition, “Pixels!”
After the patching, dusting, and sweeping, Chet Griffith, owner of ArtWorks, and Alan Goldsmith, contributing photographer, started hanging Alan’s panoramic prints. The Ladies eagerly guided them with “Higher”, “No, Lower”, “ Too Much”, “Go Back”, but it was getting done.
The exhibition will be presenting the efforts of 14 artists.
Please come celebrate the debut of a new venue for local area artists to show and share their art. Treat yourself to a delightful evening and support the arts in Kenosha.
The opening reception is Saturday, March 22, from 6:30 to 8:30.
The Artworks Gallery, 5002 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI.

Will there be snacks? I wouldn’t miss the opening for anything, but what I really need to know is, will there be “dinner” snacks or “appetizer” snacks?
I attended the opening last night and very much enjoyed it. I was limited on time, so I’ll be returning for a more leisurely perusal of the show soon. What struck me immediately were the panoramic pieces. As one stands before them you can feel yourself being pulled into them, becoming a part of them. And no matter from what angle you view them, you feel yourself as one of the subjects in the photo. I had to be sure I had both feet planted on the floor more than once.
