Pat Sweeney

press release:

In 2007, with her first DSLR in hand, Patricia Sweeney began her photographic journey. The adventure kicked off with a two-week solo trip to Paris.  

Over the subsequent nine years, her passion for travel in combination with an awakening photographic creativity changed her worldview. Travels have taken her to Texas, California, Oregon, Montana, Maryland, Charleston, Savannah, Washington, France, Italy, Ireland, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and most recently Myanmar (Burma).  

This exhibit, "The Journey of a Thousand Miles," documents her travels through Southeast Asia and Cuba as well as hidden gems of the United States. It runs through April. Watch the PhotoMidwest newsletter for more details on her upcoming exhibit reception during the April Fluno open house.  

The Fluno Center, 601 University Ave., on the UW-Madison campus (http://www.fluno.com) 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 are still available for 2015 and 2016. The exhibit space has room for 30-35 images and features the Walker hanging system with rods for easy exhibit installation. If you or your photographic arts group would like to exhibit at Fluno or if you just want more information, contact Wayne Brabender, exhibits coordinator, at wayne.brabender@ces.uwex.edu.
