Milwaukee, WI – In conjunction with the Historic Third Ward’s Winter Gallery Night on Friday, January 22nd, Splash Studio: a painting bar will reveal two new solo exhibits featuring artwork from Emily Barth and Will Hurst. A glow-in-the-dark Masquerade Ball will begin at 9pm, immediately following the opening reception for the exhibits. The celebration continues with the popular Super Secret Glow Project on both Friday and Saturday night from 10pm-12am.

The two featured exhibits, Affected (Barth) and Impressions (Hurst) highlight elements of survival. Barth’s work focuses on endangered birds and the environments they need in order to survive. Hurst’s work represents the way in which past relationships survive despite fading memories.

The Super Secret Glow Project has been a staple of each quarterly Gallery Night since 2012. The studio is transformed by 5,000+ watts of black lights, color changing up-lighting and lasers, and glowing cocktails. Souvenir prop masks will be available for customers to paint and decorate during the Masquerade Ball. The super secret painting won’t be revealed until 10pm, but “You’ll never believe what’s hiding behind these glow-in-the-dark masks,” hints Artistic Director John Kowalczyk.
