CANCELLED (this week only)- Open Studio with Artist-in-Residence: bernie & zuzu
Thursday, May 4, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Color Play: Making the world a little more rainbow
bernie & zuzu's residence term at Pinney Library Studio: February 2023 - October 2023
bernie & zuzu's in-Studio work time: Thursdays from 12-2 pm
bernie & zuzu's drop-in open Studio time: Thursdays from 2-4 pm at Pinney Library
bernie & zuzu wants you to come make the world a little more rainbow! Bernie invites the Madison community to explore color at weekly open studios and drop-in art making sessions that focus on color, shape, and mark-making in abstraction through the mediums of drawing, collage, block printing, stenciling, screen printing and painting. Throughout the residency, Bernie will invite the community to assist her with making the art studio into an installation and exhibition space that explodes with color: a rainbow room! Come play and be part of the fun!
bernie & zuzu is named for Bernie Witzack (she/her, a human) who is the creative force behind bernie & zuzu, and the extraordinary zuzu (a cat) who takes care of the business side of things. At bernie & zuzu, we create handmade, hand-painted, and screen-printed goods in small batches. We specialize in unique, one-of-a-kind art, home goods, accessories and prints with an emphasis on bright, bold color and playful shapes. bernie & zuzu is run out of a studio in the Madison Enterprise Center and we screen print at Polka Press, Madison’s local printmaking collective. We hope our artwork and goods inspire tiny moments of beauty, wonder and joy.
Bernie studied Studio Art at Beloit College and has been making and exhibiting her art ever since. She earned an MFA in Fine Art & Design from the University of Michigan in 2013, focusing on improvisational drawing and painting. She then went on to study graphic design at Madison College, falling in love with screen printing along the way. She was working full time as a graphic designer and pursuing her art on the side when the pandemic hit in spring 2020. She left the design field in spring 2021 to focus on her art full time, launching bernie & zuzu in fall of 2021.
You can find bernie & zuzu’s goods at the Dane County Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings from April-October, at Little Luxuries, Hatch Art House, and Communication Madison. They also vend at local art markets such as The Eastside Winter Market, Femmestival, The Crafty Fair and the Madison Maker Markets. bernie & zuzu have an online shop at www.bernieandzuzu.com

Thursday, May 4, 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Artist Lydia Diemer is leading three art-making events to create a collective dream book at Lakeview Library. While drawing, stamping, cutting, and pasting, we’ll explore how images, ideas, emotions, and sensations fill our daydreams and our visions of the future. Attend one or all three of the events in this creative series! Tweens and teens are especially invited to take part in these workshops, and school-age children, families, and adults of all ages are welcome to join.
In this week's session, we’ll make a BIG book by cutting and pasting our dreams together. With artist Lydia Diemer, we’ll learn a little about paste, collage, and view some books in the library for context and inspiration. Collectively, we’ll arrange and juxtapose our own and found imagery to assemble the Lakeview Dream Book - which will be displayed at Lakeview Library.

Lakeview Book Discussion of "Three Sisters" by Anton Chekhov
Community Room - Fireplace Side
Thursday, May 4, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Join us for a book discussion of "Three Sisters" by Anton Chekhov. New members always welcome!
"Three Sisters is Anton Chekhov's classic play about the Prozorov sisters, Olga, Masha, and Irina, who live in a provincial Russian town. Through the course of the play, the sisters dream of leaving their dull life and returning to the cosmopolitan city of Moscow where they were born. With humor and insight, Chekhov explores the struggles of the sisters as they search for their true identity and a sense of purpose. A timeless masterpiece, Three Sisters is a must-see for theater lovers and a must-read for any student of literature. This classic of Russian literature -- considered to be one of Chekhov greatest plays -- was originally written in 1900 and staged in 1901." -- Amazon.com
