It’s time to celebrate a fabulous year of Arts at UW–Madison!
This video features the development of our Arts for Everyone, Everywhere canvas, an experiment in community arts creation. The Division of the Arts designed this canvas to mimic a coloring book page, welcoming and inviting the community to fill it with color, shape, and form. Throughout the autumn 2023, this canvas traveled to many various arts gathering, slowly developing over the semester. We look forward to more of these and other project that encourage the UW–Madison community to engage with the creative arts together! Videography by Aaron Granat, Alex André, and Nina Bosnjak of the Division of the Arts. Music by Tim Russell of the Dance Department.
