Oberreich Art Gallery
Opening Reception set for March 26
FOND DU LAC – In acknowledgement of the gift
from the Francis and Ruth Oberreich Foundation
to name the Oberreich Art Gallery at the UW-Fond
du Lac campus, the
UW-Fond du Lac Foundation
will host a reception and opening on Wednesday,
March 26, from 5-6:30 p.m.
The public is invited to attend and view the
featured work of Milwaukee artist Mark Biermann,
also lead guitarist for the punk/rockabilly band
Aluminum Knot Eye. Biermann’s campus exhibit
will include his post-modern, deconstructivist
paintings and drawings.
These pieces blur the
lines between painting and drawing, high and low
art—and truly capture the attitudes of
Wisconsin's alternative art and music scenes. Biermann received his master’s degree in
painting and drawing from the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts.
The new Oberreich Art Gallery is located
adjacent to the University Center at UW-Fond du
Lac. This gallery will be devoted to exhibitions
and educational programs in the visual arts for
both students and the community to enjoy.
The gift to UW-Fond du Lac was made by the
Oberreich Foundation Board of Directors to honor
Francis and Ruth Oberreich’s lifetime of work
and commitment to the Fond du Lac community. The
Oberreich Foundation carries on the beliefs and
ideals first established by Francis and Ruth,
including a commitment to educational programs.
UW-Fond du Lac is one of the 13 campuses of
UW-Colleges which are, collectively, the
freshman/sophomore liberal arts transfer
institution of the UW System. The UW-Fond du Lac
Foundation’s mission is to promote excellence at
UW-Fond du Lac while enhancing the educational
and cultural opportunities available on campus.
