Driftless Prairie Visions Art Exhibit

“Driftless Prairie Visions,” a multimedia exhibit by the five-artist group Prairie Imaginarium, will be on view at the Wyoming Valley Cultural Arts Center.

The multimedia exhibit “Driftless Prairie Visions” explores plant phenology (the timing of cyclical and seasonal biological events) at a reconstructed 10-acre prairie that grows on a bluff in Sauk County, Wisconsin. The artists used data collected from the prairie to spark imagination, inspire artistic creations, and promote land stewardship.

Jill Metcoff, Gigi La Budde, Karen Ellzey Wright, Peggy Timmerman, and Joni Graves analyzed and interpreted data including weekly bloom times, abundance, duration of plant species, and more. This information inspired each artist’s unique work focused on different dimensions of time – years, seasons, months, and weeks.

The winner of the River Valley School Fair art contest will also have their piece on display during this exhibition.

This event is sponsored by the Spring Green Literary Festival.
