STEPHANIE BARENZ NAMED FEATURED ARTIST
This year’s featured artist for the Madison Night Market is local artist Stephanie Barenz. Her art explores how our surroundings shape our internal landscapes. The scenes in Barenz’s current work are from areas that have shifted her understanding of home—from Southeast Asia to Milwaukee to Lake Mendota. Learn more about Stephine Barenz at www.stephaniebarenz.com.
“It is an honor to have my work chosen to represent an event in Madison that brings so many people together,” said Barenz. “Events like the Madison Night Market give the people of Madison a place to gather and share our love for our city. I chose to represent State Street in my poster design for the Madison Night Market because it is not only the place where the market is held but also a place that helps foster community and a feeling of belonging among its residents.”
