Museum Monday: “Out of This World”
December 6th, 2010 by WLOY Staff
With the holiday season around us, there is sure to be a bit more baking going around town. You put so much work into those baked goods, sometimes it feels
like you’re making your great and artful masterpiece, don’t you? While he didn’t bake his art, 20th century artist and baker Eugene Von Bruenchenhein would likely agree.
Baker by trade and self-taught Wisconsin artist, Bruenchenhein made his first paintings on box panels he brought home from the bakery. While not particularly successful during his lifetime, he still produced thousands of paintings, sculptures and photographs. Now, 27 years after his death, the American Visionary Art Museum, along with two other museums, is celebrating the centenary of his Bruenchenhein’s birth by having a solo exhibit of his works.

35 Years Of Loyola Radio
December 1st, 2010 by WLOY Staff
On November 20th, 2010 WLOY hosted the very first reunion for Loyola Radio Alumni! It was the exact day in 1975 that WVLC first signed on to broadcast in the cafeteria so it is clearly a very special day for radio. From one to seven our current staff was able to welcome past members of the radio back to the station, listening to their stories and broadcasting live along side them. The afternoon was full of good food, good music, and more importantly, great company.
