The Kohler arts center's exhibit on regional art includes a papier-mache rabbit with human hands, one of two sculptures on display by Jeremy Wolf of Milwaukee. The show runs through July 22.
Admission is free.
The show closes Aug. 26. Director Ruth De Young Kohler and her staff, led by senior curator Leslie Umberger, have made their way through 1,188 submissions by 438 state artists, and accepted 530 for showing. It' s a daunting task, made more difficult by the fact that the number of eligible counties has been increased this year to eight. There are works from urban and rural settings, industrial and farming environments. Kohler, whose tenure at the arts center spans three decades, is an old hand at fielding such aesthetic hardballs.
