Art Gallery

Schlitz Audubon hosts seasonal artist exhibits throughout the year in our Art Gallery. Located on the second floor of our Visitor Center, the Art Gallery showcases local artists who create nature inspired art in a variety of mediums. The natural setting of the mezzanine gallery, which features museum quality lighting and fixtures, creates a warm ambiance and is a delightful space to view the work of talented artists. The gallery is wheelchair accessible by elevator.

Upcoming Exhibit

JoAnna Poehlmann

Fin/Feather/Fungi/Frog/etc.
September 8 – December 31

JoAnna Poehlmann is a Milwaukee–based artist who has been making art for over 60 years. She creates graphite drawings, etchings, lithographs, watercolor, mixed media sculptures, and artist books. Her work is centered around the natural world and the beauty and humor she observes in it, also drawing heavily from the history of art and literature. Her works are delicate and meticulous, and have been exhibited nationally and internationally, appearing in several major collections. JoAnna studied at the Layton School of Art, Marquette University, and the University of Wisconsin, all in Milwaukee. 

JoAnna Poehlmann says of the exhibit, “The focus of ‘Fin/Feather/Fungi/Frog/etc.’ mirrors some of the endless variety and subject matter in Nature that I try to reflect and express for others to experience. Schlitz Audubon seemed the perfect place to share my vision and I am very grateful for this opportunity.”
