press release: A group of five Middleton neighbors recently found that in addition to having a common address, they also share a love of nature and fine art photography. They have combined those loves to create a new photography exhibit at the Fluno Center that will run from May 1st through June 30.

The group refers to themselves as “The Conservators” – a nod to the fact that they all live on Conservancy Lane in the Middleton Conservancy Condominiums which adjoins the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. They are also all members of PhotoMidwest, a not-for-profit group that supports photography locally and throughout the Midwest.

The Conservators photography group includes Pat Eagan, Annette Knapstein, Michael Knapstein, Tim Mulcahy and Cheryl Vickroy. Their exhibit will consist of more than 30 photographs in both black and white and color. Some of the images were captured nearby in Middleton, while others were taken in a variety of locations around the world. The photographs will be exhibited in the main gallery at the Fluno Center, located on the University of Wisconsin campus at 601 University Avenue. The exhibit space is on the ground floor of the facility and is accessible to the public from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The Fluno Center is located at 601 University Ave. on the UW-Madison campus Fluno Center and 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. Public parking is available in the Lake St., Frances St., and Lot 46 parking ramps.

 Two-month exhibit time slots have been filled through 2018.  If you are interested in openings for 2019, contact Wayne Brabender.

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 the Exhibits Coordinator, Wayne Brabender 608-577-3300 or email wayne.brabender@gmail.com.
