Jason Lanka & Kathleen Seitz: 2010 Confluence of Art Winners' Exhibit

 - January 11  - February 17  - 

This exhibit highlights the chosen winners of the 2010 Confluence of Art Biennial - our second successful juried show exhibiting national artists - held in the Janet Carson Gallery in the fall of 2010. 

Born and raised in Wyoming, Jason Lanka received a MFA at the University of Connecticut in 2006. Before joining the Department of Art and Design at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claireas an associate professor of sculpture, Jason taught at Hartford Art School, Springfield College, The University of Connecticut, and the College of William and Mary.  Lanka's work defines the space at which our culture comes in contact with the environment inspires Jason's creative work. Much can be understood about the nature of how our society defines its role and place within the natural world by the observation of this boundary.

Kathleen Seitz, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and full-time artist, creates three-dimensional works that finds connections between her life and those of her ancestors through traditional crafts.

An Artists' Reception will take place on Thursday, January 19 from 6-7:30pm in conjunction with the LE Phillips Memorial Library Gallery's reception across Farwell St from 7-8:30pm.
