The Historium is hosting a free exhibit of assorted works by Blue Mounds-ba
sed artist Rooney through July 01, 2018.
Rooney’s bold, lively colors and semi-abstract, nature-inspired landscape
s are fresh, modern and engaging.
Rooney began painting in earnest in 2008 under the mentorship of local arti
st Peg Ginsberg—but art has always been a quiet presence in his life.
Rooney’s residency at the Driftless Historium is rendered even more poign
ant by the fact that his
great-great-great-uncle was Ebenezer Brigham, Dane County’s first permane
nt settler, with a robust presence in Wisconsin’s early history. In fact,
Jonathan honored his family heritage by sponsoring the new “Brigham’s
Inn” exhibit!
Rooney’s art display is viewable during the Historium’s open hours of W
ednesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Kalscheur Family Fo
undation Community Education Room.
