SUMMARY:"Spirit of the Driftless" presented by Sustainble Driftless at Viterbo Fine Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:A new documentary is set to premiere in La Crosse tomorrow\, promising to captivate audiences with its focus on conservation and the beauty of the Driftless Area.\n“Spirit of the Driftless” follows the success of “Decoding the Driftless” and offers a fresh perspective on the region.\nProducer Tim Jacobson said the film explores themes from the award-winning work of Sustainable Driftless through a new lens. Jacobson said it aims to inspire conservation and sustainable growth by deepening people’s appreciation for the Driftless Area.\n“I also would like to add that this film is dedicated to George Howe from La Crescent\, Minnesota\, who passed away last year.

Pre-show activities begin at 6:15 p.m.\, with the screening at 7 p.m. followed by a reception.\nFREE ADMISSION

SUMMARY:MN Author Tour Presents: Kent Nerburn
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised near Minneapolis\, author Kent Nerburn went on to the University of Minnesota for American Studies\, then to several post-graduate studies in Religion\, Humanities\, and Art. He worked for several years on the Red Lake Ojibwe reservation\, helping students collect the memories of the tribal elders. This experience introduced him to the native spiritual traditions that are central to the messages of his writings. \nHe characterizes his work as a “constant search\, from various perspecitves\, for an authentic American spirituality that integrates our western Judeo-Christian tradition with other traditions of the world\, especially the indigenous spirituality of the people who first inhabited this continent.” [https://kentnerburn.com/about] \nKent Nerburn is the author of several books\, including NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG (which has been adapted into a film directed by Steven Lewis Simpson) and LONE DOG ROAD. \nThe Minnesota Author Tour is made possible through SELCO and the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

SUMMARY:Symphony Orchestra featuring H.S. Honor Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful evening as the UWL Orchestra & Honor Orchestra present a concert in partnership with the Violins of Hope Wisconsin initiative. Central to the program is David Avshalomov’s “Elegy”\, a moving work for strings composed in memory of Leonard Bernstein—a slow\, soulful tribute blending lyrical depth and quiet intensity. \nThe inclusion of the Violins of Hope-Wisconsin project brings an added dimension of remembrance and resilience. A number of instruments from the collection will be on display at the concert venue. These restored instruments\, once played by Jewish musicians and others during the Holocaust\, carry with them stories of survival\, loss\, and enduring hope. \nTogether\, the concert offers not just musical excellence\, but a moment to reflect on history through sound—honoring lives lost\, celebrating the persistence of human spirit\, and inspiring connection across generations. Be a part of this occasion of memory\, empathy\, and beauty. \nFree & open to the public. \nProgram: \nHonor Orchestra \nSonata da Chiesa (1992) – Adolphus Hailstork (b.1941) \nArlington Sketches – Elliot Del Borgo (1938-2013) \nThat Which Remains – Stephen Melillo (b. 1957) \nLyric Metal – Brian Balmages (b. 1975) \nUWL Symphony Orchestra \nEgmont Overture – Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) \nPraeludium and Allegro (1910) – Fritz Kreisler (1845-1924) \nDr. Michelle Elliott\, Violin \nElegy (1990) – David Avshalomov (b.1946) \n***Violins of Hope-Wisconsin Presentation*** \nBravado!

SUMMARY:Fifty Years Later Commemorating the End of the Secret War
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: October 20 – November 17\n1st Floor Lobby of the Lowe Center for the Arts\nDialogue Space (wall outside the UWL Art Gallery) \nJoin us for an exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Secret War in Laos and honoring the enduring strength of the Hmong and Lao people. Through the photographs of Ernest Kuhn and Galen Beery\, this collection reflects on loss\, resilience\, and remembrance in the aftermath of conflict. At its heart stands the Joss Paper Eagle\, a sculptural tribute crafted from ceremonial paper used in Hmong spiritual traditions to honor ancestors. As the mascot of the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse\, the eagle symbolizes vision\, strength\, and perseverance—qualities that here take on new meaning as a cultural offering to those who were lost. Together\, these works invite reflection on the lasting cost of war and the power of memory to heal\, connect\, and endure. \nThis exhibition was conceived and curated by Yia Vue\, whose research and creative work explore Hmong history\, war memory\, and the enduring legacies of conflict in Southeast Asia. Developed in collaboration with volunteer faculty and students\, the project brings together historical photography\, cultural symbolism\, and contemporary reflection. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the support of UWL’s Departments of Art\, Archaeology\, Theatre & Dance\, and Race\, Gender\, and Sexuality (RGS)\, as well as the office of Access\, Belonging\, and Compliance (ABC)\, and the La Crosse Historical Society\, among other partners dedicated to preserving and sharing these important histories.
