Visual Arts

 

The visual arts allow for the unique expression of thoughts, ideas, and culture. The Fort Atkinson Club strives to bring great art to the community, highlight local artists, and share the visual arts with all who wish to enjoy it. 

FAC has put together visual art exhibitions and workshops throughout the year. We work to make these events open and accessible to the public.

 

Current Exhibition

Embracing Possibilities: The Power of Inclusion

This unique showcase highlights the artistic achievements of individuals whose abilities often challenge conventional perspectives, inspiring new ways of thinking about inclusion and creativity.
