Date: June 15, 2026 - July 5, 2026
Event Description:

Experience the vibrant world of Steve McHugh at the upcoming exhibition "Day Dreams," hosted at WOW Art Studio + Gallery on picturesque Madeline Island. Running from June 15th through July 5th, this show invites art lovers and island visitors alike to immerse themselves in a collection inspired by moments spent on the beach, where the gentle ebb and flow of waves spark creativity and bold expression.

"Day Dreams" captures the serenity of island life, merging natural sounds and sensations with vivid mark-making and striking colors on raw canvas. McHugh’s art expresses the quiet alchemy of inspiration – where thoughts drift with the tide and are transformed into dynamic visual narratives.  

Join us for a special reception on June 15th from 6 to 8 pm to meet the artist, explore the collection, and celebrate a season of artistic exploration in one of Wisconsin’s most beloved settings. Whether you are familiar with McHugh’s work or discovering it for the first time, this exhibition promises a unique opportunity to see the world through his imaginative lens. Live music and refreshments will be offered.

WOW Art Studio + Gallery provides a stunning backdrop to this evocative show, welcoming visitors to experience art that is as much about place as it is about the personal journey of creation. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this captivating event on Madeline Island this summer.
