Description
From the bustling ink-stained newsroom to the vibrant world of fine art, the exhibition "From Journal to Cedarburg" traces the remarkable journey of local artist, Robb Helf. For almost 30 years as a newspaper graphic designer and illustrator, Helf's skillful designs, pen, and brush strokes graced the pages of periodicals in The Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel, bringing stories to life with his images. He later transcended the confines of headlines and deadlines to become a revered Wisconsin artist. This exhibition celebrates the fusion of storytelling and artistic expression, showcasing the remarkable career shift of an artist who embraced a new realm of creative freedom.
A joint opening reception for "Show & Tell: Six Wisconsin Children's Book Illustrators" and "From Journal to Cedarburg" will be held on Saturday, January 20th from 2 to 6pm. Curator Samantha Michalski will hold a talk at 3:30pm for "From Journal to Cedarburg". At 4:00pm "Show & Tell" illustrators will be speaking. These exhibitions are supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and Wisconsin Arts Board.
