Galaudet Gallery continues enjoying Blue but from different vantage points as we begin our Eau Claire Art Season with “Bohemian Blues and Wild Hearts” celebrating the color blue and the symbolic heart with artworks curated for aesthetic pleasures and gifting ideas.

“The idea of “Bohemian Blues” is inspired by jazz pianist Red Garland and the new 21st Century Bohemian lifestyle which easily mixes all kinds of art, jewelry and home décor giving us a chance to have some fun in our curatorial choices.  Once we saw how “Wild Hearts” inform this lifestyle, we couldn’t resist working with heart art.”  Galaudet Gallery director Vicki Milewski explains

“A 21st Century Bohemian is what we have been seeing in the artworld as we roam with our international exhibits.  Sometimes I joke with the Luxury Bohemians that their uniform of kicks and jeans is becoming the chosen work suit now.   In their homes realistic artworks share walls with abstract ones, crystals and precious stones mingle with antique tea sets on serving platters, jewelry is not just for wearing but also decorating.  Making our homes our individual and family power centers through decorating and design is not new; but the mashup of styles and mediums is exciting.”  Michael Milewski, Galaudet Gallery curator shares.

​

The curators continue to research and build upon their Partnership of Sight art theory which proposes that the artist, the artwork, the curator and the viewer all work in partnership to elicit an aesthetic experience.

​

The exhibit has original artworks, curated, framed prints; one of a kind jewelry and thoughtfully selected home decor all working with the same themes you can learn more about in the exhibition essay.
