Photo gallery A peek into how art is created

November 8, 2023 ​

Visitors got to tour art studios, meet student artists and get a behind-the-scenes look at how art is created during UW–Madison’s annual Open Studio Day on Nov. 4.  Demonstrations in the Art Lofts Building and the 6th and 7th floors of the Humanities Building included glass blowing, screen printing and sculpting.
