/ The Museum of Wisconsin Art is hosting a new exhibit called Artists Without Borders: Reflections on Art and Place.
Borders can come in all different shapes and manners of being. Fences and rivers can be physical representations of borders, while cultural borders can exist without a wall or line on a map. Borders can be used to divide people or to make sense of a certain area.
Borders are complicated, and a new exhibit at the Museum of Wisconsin Art is exploring the idea of borders through art created by immigrants who now call Wisconsin home.
Nina Ghanbarzadeh is an immigrant from Iran and an artist featured in the Artists Without Borders: Reflections on Art and Place exhibit. She says over the past few years, she has felt unwelcome inside the United States despite building a family and career in the country.

Lois Ireland Zwettler, artist whose paintings captured Wisconsin, dies of COVID at 92 March 1, 2021 6:32pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Her paintings had a sense of authenticity, art critics said, capturing the farmlands and lives of people with an empathy that comes from being one of them, and an appreciation of color and an eye for detail that seemed almost intuitive.
Lois Ireland Zwettler was largely self-taught and painted her corner of the world central Wisconsin beginning in the late 1940s. Her work drew the attention of one of the nation s most celebrated American scene painters, John Steuart Curry, who was the artist-in-residence at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
