PhotoMidwest Member Exhibition 2022 reception

On three levels, the hallways adjacent to the Capitol Theater within the Overture Center feature a variety of local art. This fall many takes on the natural world and reinterpretations of “landscape” fill the galleries. In Gallery I abstract paintings from Mark Pflughoeft are paired with nature-inspired ceramics from Kelly Jean Ohl. In Gallery II, Douglas Yu’s charcoal drawings, Michael Knapstein’s photographs, and Christian Strait’s macro photography present the world from the micro-level to outer space. And in Gallery III, Leo Salazar and Michael Wartgow take abstract painting and mixed media in two different directions. In the Playhouse Gallery, find an exhibit of works by PhotoMidwest members as part of its Biennial celebration (a reception on Oct. 7 starts at 5 p.m. at Overture before moving to PhotoMidwest, 700 Rayovac Drive Suite 212, at 6:45 p.m.).
