Exhibition at Park University Displaying Works of RE: Generation Community Artists
The RE: Generation exhibit, a group show featuring a collective of Kansas City-area women artists, is set to grace Park University's Campanella Gallery from Tuesday, February 18, to Saturday, April 26. The gallery, conveniently located inside Norrington Center on the Parkville Campus, will be free and open to the public during its regular business hours.
The exhibit is dedicated to the memory of Sharon Hunter-Putsch, a founding member of RE: Generation who passed away in October 2024. The themes of family, environment, and culture pervade each artist's work, as stated in the group's artist statement.
RE: Generation works in a diverse range of media, content, styles, and techniques, promising a visually stimulating and thought-provoking experience for visitors. Artists participating in the exhibit include Donna Bachmann, Janet Kuemmerlein, Jane Pronko, Lynn Richardson, Catherine Vesce, Diana Werts, Megan Wyeth, and Carol Zastoupil, in addition to the previously mentioned Hunter-Putsch.
During the exhibit, the Campanella Gallery's regular hours will be Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, closed (during Park's Spring Break week, which falls on March 8-16, the gallery will be closed on weekends). A reception for the artists will be held on Friday, April 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Gallery.
For those seeking the most accurate and updated information about the RE: Generation exhibit, it is recommended to check directly with Park University's Campanella Gallery official announcements or their website. The search results did not provide a direct and complete list of artists participating in the RE: Generation exhibit at Park University in 2025. However, there is a reference to a "Re:Generation" public preview event hosted by Monument Lab in 2022, but no detailed information about artist participants for the 2025 exhibit at Park University specifically was found.
RE: Generation was founded by Sharon Hunter-Putsch in 2014 and is a loose-knit group of women artists who share common history and generational and gender experiences. The group's artworks are expected to offer a unique perspective on the themes of family, environment, and culture, making the RE: Generation exhibit an exciting addition to Park University's Campanella Gallery.
The distinct perspectives on family, environment, and culture presented in the RE: Generation exhibit promise a thought-provoking exploration of lifestyle, extended to home-and-garden aspirations and realities. The diverse artworks created by Donna Bachmann, Janet Kuemmerlein, Jane Pronko, Lynn Richardson, Catherine Vesce, Diana Werts, Megan Wyeth, Carol Zastoupil, and the late Sharon Hunter-Putsch will be exhibited, reflecting the group's shared experiences and generational bonds.
