Open Doors: Cuba

press release: In the Fluno photo exhibit opening Sept. 1, a dozen members of the PhotoMidwest Travel Interest Group share their vision of today's Cuba. The photos were captured during the group's trip to Cuba in February. Their journey took them from Havana to Cienfuegos to Trinidad de Cuba, showing a nation in transition, yet grounded in Socialism.  

The photographers are: Eloisa Callender, Cliff Dalseide, Robin Downs, Marcia Getto, Diane Kravetz, Ann McGrath, Donna Miller, Thomas Miller, David Peterson, Margaret Peterson, David Schoengold, JoAnn Schoengold, David Yochum, and Kurt Westbrook.  

The Open Doors: Cuba exhibit runs through the end of Oct. in the first floor gallery of the Fluno Center.

The Fluno Center is located at 601 University Ave. on the UW-Madison campus Fluno Center and is the newest exhibit space for local photographic artists. The Fluno Center is home to the Wisconsin School of Business Center for Professional and Executive Development. Its gallery space is located near the first floor auditorium and the front desk. Open hours are generally 8pm to 5pm each day. Public parking is available in the Lake St., Frances St., and Lot 46 parking ramps.

Two-month exhibit time slots have now been filled for 2016 and 2017. The exhibit space has room for 30-35 images and features the Walker hanging system with rods for easy exhibit installation.
