Waldron Arts Center: Nov / Dec Exhibitions

This November and December, the Waldron Arts Center is hosting three exciting new exhibits, on display Friday, November 3 – Sunday, December 17, 2023!

The Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest and the Resilience of the Indigenous People of Brazil presented by Terre Haute based artist Alexandra McNichols-Torroledo consists of a series of silver gelatin photos printed from large-scale, 4×5 inch negatives. The photos detail the experiences of the Mura people of Itaparana as they live to resist deforestation and to protect their home in the Brazilian Amazon.

Away From Here is the culmination of a visual-arts focused class, consisting of 15-20 students at Putnamville Correctional Facility in Putnam, Indiana. The exhibit displays 23 images, taken by participating IU graduate, Zachary Kaufman, showing inmates’ sketchbook pages and writings about their work.

Whimsy & Wonder by Bobby Ayala Perez includes several series of paintings, each as playful and colorful as the last. The exhibit has a sense of the joyful surreal, allowing viewers to experience a sense of delight.
