Whelan, Michener displaying work in La Crosse exhibit

Dr. John Whelan (Department of Art) and Dr. Christian Michener (Department of English) will each have work displayed in the “Mark my Words” exhibit at the La Crosse Pumphouse Arts Center. Twenty poems by 20 writers were first chosen, and then 20 visual artists were chosen to produce original works of art inspired by the poems. The exhibit runs from Oct. 1 to Nov. 14, with a reading and reception on Oct. 10, and then moves to the La Crosse Public Library. Michener’s poem, “Skin,” was chosen as one of the works for the exhibit, and John Whelan completed a collaborative drawing with his grandson, Jacob Runyan, titled “Jacob's Vision,” as his contribution to the exhibit.
