Wisconsin’s Creative Pulse in Photos | Madison News

Cambridge, Wisconsin, kicks off its third annual Art on Main festival with plein air painters capturing the scenery—and a big awards reception at the Wisconsin Art Hub. Meanwhile, Fitchburg artist Emily Balsley adds to the mural movement with a Brewers-themed piece, part of a statewide initiative that’s already painted seven murals across Wisconsin. Behind the scenes, Wisconsin State Journal photojournalists are spotlighting the state’s soul—through a 93-year-old strolling Monona Bay, a college sprinter on Bascom Hill, and major events like the Dane County Fair and Midwest Fire Fest, where global artists fuse clay and flame. These images weave together Wisconsin’s vibrant culture, from epic celebrations to intimate, everyday moments. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
