press release: The Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission, Dane Arts, unveils its 2016 Art Calendar The Shining Lights at a free public reception honoring fourteen local artists on Monday, October 26, from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM, at Hallman Lindsay Paints, on 1717 North Bristol Street, in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The reception introduces the 17th annual art calendar and will feature: mural painting with lead artists from our new county-wide initiative, Dane Arts Mural Arts (DAMA) program, music, and a sneak peek behind the scenes to the process of making paint in the Hallman-Lindsay plant.
“Every day we are reminded of how much Dane County has to offer our residents and visitors – from exciting urban life, to world-renowned agriculture, to our lakes and natural spaces,” said Dane County Executive Joe Parisi. “The local artists who contribute to the county’s art calendar each year are a testament to yet another of Dane County strengths – our thriving arts community.”
The 2015 calendars cost $9.48 each (plus sales tax) and are available at several retail locations, municipal halls, the Cultural Affairs Commission Office (Room 421, City-County Building, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.), and at culturalaffairscommision.com.
“Calendar purchases help support local artists and the Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission’s mission and programs,” said Cultural Affairs Commission Director Mark Fraire. “Our agency, just like the calendars, was created with the purpose to encourage public participation in arts, culture, and local history countywide.”
