This Friday October 2nd we’ll be performing with @taiyamodenku at the @rivoliartsbuilding

First Fridays is the opportunity to explore the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor spaces with the artists, attend gallery openings, shows, pop ups, and participate in events. Snacks are provided and drinks are available for purchase from the second floor bar. We’re excited to show off what our artists are creating throughout the year and hope you can join us in celebrating art in the La Crosse community!

October’s First Friday is almost here!!! Scroll to see what we’ve got planned for you to enjoy 😎

The opening of our next show in the second floor gallery! We’ve got a mixed media exhibit from a bunch of our resident artists! This is going to be a really fun one so please come show your support 💖

In the Rivoli Annex on the second floor! @joelkuennen will be popping up with an installation, some hand made jewelry made from Mississippi River mother of pearl, and information on his proposed sculpture for Pettibone Park. We are so excited for this, it’s such a cool project, so make sure to come say hi and see how you can help make this dream a reality!

@joi_keiko_wi is coming to the third floor workshop to do a daruma making class! This is free and open to all. Come meet Keiko and learn something new about Japanese culture and crafts!

Very fun, easy way to make a little art this Friday in @salvatore.dagostino.studio on the third floor!

Have you seen @artesa.gallery posts about the Friday live model drawing/painting sessions? If you come to her studio you can see some of the past work from these sessions!

Another great show in Studio 311!!

Super excited to show you all the new addition to the second floor, our @media.membrain video vault!

@badhands.studio is back again with the coolest prints and merchandise for sale, they’ll be upstairs in the 4th floor community room!

On the 4th floor landing you can get a caricature drawn of you while you visit!

As always, see what’s happening in the artist’s studios, buy some art and build community! We’ve even got some new artists in the building!

We start our show recap with Project Blazer! We reached out to artists and asked them to make a statement repurposing blazers into works of art.

Each came at it with their own unique approach, creating show stopping looks at the very start of the show.

Each of these blazers are for sale, if they have not sold already! Reach out if interested.

presenting my latest collection, 𓍊𓋼 spirits of the forest 𓆲 featured at the feral apparel fashion show organized by @theartsiderslax at @pumphousearts! I had a lovely day showing four looks inspired by harvest festivals and films like my neighbor totoro, spirited away, and dimland. I am ever grateful to have amazing models that helped me bring this collection to life and everyone’s personality shined through. thank you immensely to @meghandle @unicycle_michael @goddessglyphs and @psybun__ for walking the stage as my forest spirits! thank you to my parents for all of the support and encouragement along the way 💓 thank you to @celiarosephoto for coming to the pre-show party to snap some photos that I am so excited to see and share with you all! It was a magical and mystical evening seeing all of the beautiful designs, blazers, and umbrellas that got to grace the stage. I am so grateful for all the kind words said. it was a beautiful evening 🧌 stay tuned for more photos and behind the scenes!
