Participating artists include Carnelian Art Gallery’s own curator and owner Evan Bradbury, as well as Wisconsin artists Jen Dunlop a.ka. “Jen Sky Art,” Matthew Braunginn, Denise Presnell and James Ackerman.

New this year, “Finding Color In the Chaos” will include live painting session by Jen Dunlop, as well as poetry readings by Emilie Heidemann, Carnelian Art Gallery’s marketing director. The two worked together over the winter months to create a book, titled “The Secret Realm,” that’s a collection of poems written in response to 10 of Dunlop’s artworks to be displayed as part of the exhibition. This type of call and response art is called ekphrastic art, a rising trend in Madison’s art scene.

The live painting session is set to commence at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 7, along with the poetry readings. Heidemann will read five or so poems from “The Secret Realm.” Signed hardcover copies of “The Secret Realm” will be available for purchase at the opening reception and beyond. The price for each book is $25.
