SPRING 2021 FINE ARTS RECAP

ART

The Wisconsin Lutheran College Art Department held a spring exhibition of student artwork in the Schlueter Art Gallery February 12-April 16. The annual Senior Thesis Art Exhibition opened on May 7 with a reception (above) in the Schlueter Art Gallery, showcasing the works of 10 members of the Class of 2021. The WLC Theatre Department presented The Electra Project (below), adapted from Sophocles’ Electra, in the Raabe Theatre April 30 and May 1. Sophomore Hannah Centinario portrayed the title character. The Theatre Department also live-streamed A Time of Hope: Songs from Broadway March 25-28 from the Raabe Theatre.

MUSIC

On May 1, WLC’s Jazz Band held a concert in the Warrior Underground. The next day, the Chamber Ensemble performed in the Schwan Concert Hall. The Wisconsin Lutheran Choir live-streamed its spring concert (above) on May 7 from Trinity Lutheran Church in Waukesha. On May 14, the Concert Band performed for a live audience in the Time of Grace Center.

Looking Ahead

Last season would have marked WLC’s 25th Season of Arts Programming at Wisconsin Lutheran College. While it was disappointing that we were unable to offer these programs, with the bitter comes the sweet. As we prepare to present the “Best of the Best” from the past 25 years, it is with a rekindled passion for the arts and a deepened appreciation for the ability to truly come together and connect. We hope you will agree that the upcoming shows were worth the wait!

We are eager to welcome you back to the Center for Arts and Performance for the 2021-2022 Guest Artist Series season, as well as performances and exhibitions by our talented students. Tickets - along with a complete list of upcoming events - will be available at wlc.edu/arts later this summer.
