art wall

October Featured Artist

In 2012 Amy made her way into the wood shop and began carving her figurative sculptures in wood. Amy’s presence in the wood shop has led us to a new partnership.  Together, we are making a cast of human/animal figurative sculptures in wood. The shaping, refining and texturing of basswood is done with a combination of power and hand tools. The pieces are finished with layers of milk paint.

VFC Art Wall Display Guidelines

Calling all artists

Are you interested in hanging your artwork on the VFC’s Community Seating Area art wall?

The Viroqua Food Co+op art wall prioritizes art that focuses on anything that matches the co-ops mission and focuses on but is not necessarily limited to social change, food and food systems, cooperative education, health and well-being, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and cooking education.


With assistance of a VFC Marketing Coordinator, hang your artwork from the VFC art wall in the first three days of the month you are assigned to display your work. The Co-op will not hang your artwork on the wall for you.

Artist Statement and Artwork Labels: At the time of hanging your work, provide the VFC Coordinator with the following typed:

  • Artist statement (vertical 8.5x11 inch or smaller) that will be hung on the wall with your artwork.

  • Artwork labels (includes: Name of work, size, price (if selling) for each piece you are displaying.

Take down your artwork from the VFC art wall in the last three days of the month you are assigned to display your work.
