It’s spring, and the circus is coming to town — in the form of two new art shows that will open Saturday at the University of Wisconsin’s Chazen Museum of Art, 800 University Ave.
The shows are “Ringmaster: Judy Onofrio and the Art of the Circus” in the large Brittingham Galleries VI and VII and “Harry A. Atwell: Circus Photographer” in the smaller Mayer Gallery. Both exhibitions will be on view through June 29. Admission is free and open to the public.
The Chazen will also host a special weekend of circus celebrations, featuring performers, music and food, on May 9 and 10.
