Exhibitions
Bubbler exhibitions began with a blowout event in 2012 called BOOKLESS, a massive group show that combined visual art, music, performance, workshops, and more, at a time when the Madison’s Central Library was about to undergo a major renovation. When the library reopened in September 2013, the Bubbler kicked off with STACKED, and from then on, we have led a robust and constantly evolving program of exhibitions across numerous spaces.
Current Exhibitions:
Central, Pinney, Hawthorne, Lakeview, Goodman South Madison, Sequoia, Meadowridge, and Alicia Ashman Library
