Location: Gallery 7, Humanities Building 7th Fl, 455 N Park St, Madison, WI

Reception: Friday, March 6, 5-7pm

Corey Wellik uses wood and wooden furni­ture to create expe­ri­ences of commu­nity- and self-belong­ing, resilience, and liber­a­tion. They build work inspired by our collec­tive connec­tion to land and place. Wellik earned a degree in Plant and Soil Ecology from the Univer­sity of Michi­gan, rooting their prac­tice in a deep connec­tion to the land. After years of teach­ing, learn­ing, playing with wood, growing food, and growing commu­nity in Detroit, they are currently a Master of Fine Arts candidate in the Wood­work­ing and Furni­ture Design area at the Univer­sity of Wiscon­sin–Madison.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Art MFA Qualifier Exhibition season continues with Corey Wellik’s art exhibition. The qualifier solo exhibitions are presented by the graduate students during their fourth semester as the evaluation review of their creative work to qualify for advancement in the MFA program. Come view the work and research by our newest cohort of developing artists!
