SUMMARY:GALLERIES: Dennis Bayuzick Retrospective Exhibition  |  Celebrating a 
	Legacy of Artistry and Education
LOCATION:The Rita\, The Emile H. Mathis Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is proud to present a retrospective 
	exhibition of the late Dennis Bayuzick’s artwork at the Mathis Gallery 
	within The Rita Tallent Picken Regional Center for Arts and Humanities 
	(RITA). The exhibition will run from June 4 through August 2\, 2024\, 
	with an opening reception on Friday\, June 7\, from 4-6 pm. This special 
	event is an opportunity for the community to honor Bayuzick’s enduring 
	impact as an artist and educator. Dennis\n\nBayuzick\, a cherished 
	member of the UW-Parkside Art Department\, devoted over 35 years to 
	teaching painting\, 2-D design\, and drawing. His legacy extends beyond 
	the classroom\, where he mentored numerous students\, guiding them 
	toward personal and disciplined creativity. Bayuzick's profound 
	influence is evident in the many successful artists and art educators he 
	helped cultivate. As the longtime coordinator of Art Education at 
	UW-Parkside\, Bayuzick supervised student teachers in local public 
	schools\, aiding over 70 students in achieving K-12 certification in 
	Art. His dedication to art education has resulted in a new generation of 
	talented educators who continue to inspire students across the United 
	States.\n\nBayuzick’s contributions to the arts were not confined to 
	teaching. He was instrumental in organizing and hosting biennial high 
	school art invitational shows and local art teacher exhibits at 
	UW-Parkside\, fostering community-university relations and enhancing the 
	visibility of young artists. His efforts brought high school students to 
	campus\, giving them the unique opportunity to see their work displayed 
	in a professional gallery setting. The retrospective exhibition will 
	showcase Bayuzick's unique artistic vision\, characterized by the 
	symbolic potential of still-life arrangements and a preference for the 
	purple side of the color spectrum. His airbrush paintings\, which have 
	garnered national recognition and numerous awards\, are included in the 
	exhibit. Bayuzick’s works have been featured in Airbrush Action magazine 
	and displayed at the Joy Horwitz Gallery in Chicago.\n\nVisitors to the 
	exhibition are invited to purchase available artwork by donation\, with 
	payments accepted online or by check. All proceeds will support the 
	UW-Parkside Art Department\, ensuring that Bayuzick’s legacy continues 
	to inspire future generations of artists.\n\nBayuzick\, who passed away 
	on December 8\, 2022\, at the age of 76\, left an indelible mark on the 
	UW-Parkside community and the broader world of art education. His life 
	and work will be celebrated through this retrospective\, offering a 
	chance for reflection and appreciation of his immense contributions. We 
	invite the community to join us at the Mathis Gallery from June 4 to 
	August 2 to experience the rich legacy of Dennis Bayuzick. The opening 
	reception on June 7 will be a moment to gather\, reflect\, and celebrate 
	the life of a beloved artist\, teacher\, and friend.\n\nFor more 
	information\, please visit the Mathis Gallery website or contact the
