Past Events at Primrose

A Breath of Fresh Art, 2020-2024

A Breath of Fresh Art was a joint project of Katherine Kramer Projects and the Mount Horeb Area Arts Association, made possible by grants from the Wisconsin Arts Board and Dane County Arts. Hosted at Primrose Retreat, the event would invite the community to reflect on new themes each year, including “Democracy in Life & Art” and “Environments: From Urban to Rural.”

Audience members followed maps around a historic farmstead to take in performances and view art installations by more than two dozen dancers, musicians, spoken word artists, and visual artists from Dane County and the Driftless Area arts community.

Thank you to our supporters.
