Join us as we sit down with local artist Brett Whitacre to explore his exhibition, Everything’s Fine: cheerfully poking at the disconnect between bright pop imagery and underlying struggles. Brett shares the inspirations behind his work — from vintage Americana and found relics of daily life to salvaged materials like wood, windowpanes, and old televisions. Discover how his cheerful, pop-infused visuals hide deeper reflections on personal, cultural, and societal challenges, and hear about the murals and art pieces that have become landmarks in the Rockford community. Tune in for an inside look at the paradoxes in his art and the stories behind each piece.
