This Madison artist’s hyper-local work will be showcased at “Public Art for the Community” including his murals, collaborative projects, documentary videos and more, as well as a fanciful “selfie station” created for this exhibit. Doug Haynes is also the author of the State Street Coloring Book, and included in the exhibit will be selections from his next work — about the fated-for-demolition UW Humanities building (read Linda Falkenstein’s preview here). Haynes will speak at a reception from 1-3 p.m. on March 16.

media release: Doug Haynes will be displaying “Public Art for the Community” at the Neighborhood House from March 4-29. There will be a reception and artist talk on Saturday March 16, 2024, from 1:00 to 3:00. The title of this exhibit is designed to encompass the range of murals, collaborative projects, documentary videos as well as art featuring local landmarks that will be on  display. Haynes’ most recent project is conveniently located outside the exhibition venue (Neighborhood House). This “selfie station” allows visitors to photograph themselves as flowers and insects. It was designed and executed by Haynes for the Neighborhood House in summer 2023. Other projects which will be featured in the exhibit include: “Holy Week” mural (First Baptist Church), “Dancing with God” (video documenting re: Madison dancer Paul Schoneman), “Greenbush Mural”, “Life Underwater” mural, “State Street Coloring Book”, “My Korean Life” (video documentary) and a preview of the as of yet unpublished work “Humanities

Building”.
