media release: Gather art materials on your own and enjoy a "Silhouette Sunset" painting tutorial from the comfort of your own home. Pour yourself a beverage and snuggle in for a low-pressure painting happy hour with Wheelhouse Studios Program Director, local artist and educator, Taylor Franklin. She will walk you through the easy steps to create a vibrant and picturesque painting to cheer up your space. Taylor will be using acrylic paints on canvas, but viewers have the option to use these supplies. Join her for a low-key, stress relieving art-making session - no art skills required! 

Taylor Franklin, UW-Madison Alum (M.A. Art Education, Art Ed. Teaching License), is a professional artist, dancer, and educator. With 16 years of experience as an art educator in higher education, community education, arts-based non-profits, and WI public schools, she is honored to offer her vivacious and empowering teaching methods to the UW community. Join her for light-hearted, non-intimidating art instruction that will leave you feeling open to the possibilities that your inner creativity can offer.  

In these uncertain times, many of us are in the same position: hunkered down, trying to get a handle on our new reality. Like organizations and businesses across the globe, we at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have made changes to keep our campus and community healthy and safe. While gifted UW researchers identify ways to understand and develop a vaccine for COVID-19, our campus experts are finding new, innovative ways to support and connect with Wisconsin residents.  

We are pleased to offer Badger Talks LIVE…. a Facebook Live series intended to help you cope, stay engaged and thrive during these challenging times. Can't catch the live talks? Check out past talks here.
