Join artist and UW-Platteville alumna Donna Van Bogaert for a gallery talk at Nohr Gallery while her exhibit "The Fiber Art of Donna Van Bogaert: Weaving Artist's Voice and Process" is on display. Van Bogaert’s interactive gallery talk explores the weight of our cognitive disposition, education, heritage, life experiences, and intuition on the design of a creative life, development of the artist’s voice, and influences on an individual’s creative process. Formed over nearly three-quarters of a century, she discusses how her farm background and undergrad experience at UW-Platteville informed early impressions of her identity as an artist while seeing the limitations in that label. And, how the study of art and psychology at UW-P was the springboard for future research in adult creativity and an eventual PhD in Cancer Communication with an emphasis in Cognitive Preferences. The artist will share thoughts about the career choices that provided opportunities to develop her creative process. She will reflect on how her art has evolved and how her eclectic professional experiences (in television, business, higher education, the government, and international platforms) reflect the weaving of creative approaches from art to work and work to art. The current exhibition will be discussed as a manifestation of the journey finding  voice and creative process.

In October 1998 in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming, Matthew Shepard, a 21 year old student at the University of Wyoming, was tied to a fence post, severely beaten, tortured and left, alone, to die. His body - battered, bloody, barely clinging to life - was discovered eighteen hours later. He was rushed to the hospital and put on life support. He died five days later. The reason for this brutal crime? Matthew Shepard was gay. The hate crime attracted vast attention worldwide, bringing sexual discrimination and violence to the forefront of public discourse. The Tectonic Theater Project, led by their founder Moisés Kaufman, traveled to Laramie in the aftermath of the murder with the intent of creating a theatrical portrait of a town coming to grips with horrible, hate-fueled violence. Over the course of a year and a half, the group interviewed over 200 subjects, some directly related to the case and some regular citizens of Laramie. Out of these interviews, journal entries, and found texts, The Laramie Project was born. Hailed as one of the most captivating and encompassing pieces of contemporary theatre, the play shocks, challenges, and moves all who watch it as it reveals the lowest depths of hatred and greatest heights of compassion that lies within all human beings in any seemingly average community. Recommended for mature audiences. Tickets Wednesday $5 general admission Thursday–Saturday $15 for adults $5 for UW-Platteville students and youth under 18
