The Coulee Region Art Beat Art for everyone can be found at area festivals and art tours. BY LeAH cALL contributed photos The Coulee Region is rich with talented artists expressing their creativity on canvas, clay, wood, fiber, glass or metal. Art festivals and fairs around the region offer an opportunity for those artists to showcase their work. A road trip to any—or all—of the three area art festivals detailed here is well worth the time and effort. But plan to bring some cash—you won’t leave empty-handed. AAUW Art Fair on the Green Date: July 28-29, 2012 Location: UW-La Crosse campus lawns at 16th and State streets More information: pstaupe@centurytel.net More than 4,000 people are expected to attend the 54th annual AAUW Art Fair on the Green, sponsored by the American Association of University Women. The event has grown from just seven artists in 1958 to more than 100 juried artists today. Taking place on the picturesque UW-La Crosse campus behind Morris Hall, fair attendees can expect top-quality art along with toe-tapping live music and tummy-tantalizing concessions. “Attendees can easily spend a good part of the day there, just enjoying the art and the atmosphere,” says fair organizer Pat Staupe. The fair is a popular venue for artists from locations throughout the Midwest and beyond. As part of a juried show, the participating artists are judged with award presentations taking place on the first day of the event. Paintings, jewelry, sculpture, woodworking, fiber art and more will be on display and available for purchase. In addition to | DEsigNiNg WomEN | From left: Art by Phyllis Martino (AAUW Art Fair on the Green), Bernadette Mahfood and Mary Singer, (Bluff Country Studio Art Tour). professional artists from around the country, student artists from Logan and Central High Schools will have their own booth, as will other local arts groups. “We have such a variety of artists,” says Staupe. “And the whole gamut of price ranges from very inexpensive to large paintings that are a bit pricey. About two-thirds of the artists are returning artists; about a third are new. There is always a variety—and there’s always something new.” Admission is $4.00 for adults and free for children under 12. Event proceeds go to local scholarships at area colleges and universities. Driftless Area Art festival Date: September 15-16, 2012 Location: Soldiers Grove, Wis.
