Your Eye Close With My Dreams
2026-02-27 - 2026-03-27 | 211 S Water St E, 53538, 211 South Water Street East, Fort Atkinson, WI, 53538, United States
This evocative exhibition showcases the works of husband and wife Brian and Angela Szabo.
Though Brian and Angela Szabo each bring their own distinct artistic voice to the gallery, a shared through-line runs gently beneath the work: a reverence for what endures. Discarded bones are reclaimed; their beauty and dignity is celebrated. Forms emerge from beneath leaves and flowers. Beauty reveals itself slowly, through attention.
At the heart of the exhibition is a pair of birds bearing a line from Pablo Neruda’s Sonnet XVII, from which the exhibition takes its title. The poem speaks of a love that is steady, unassuming, deeply rooted and inextricably intertwined.
In many ways, this exhibition reflects that same truth: that what appears simple may hold profound depth. That love, carried faithfully over time, is one of the most enduring and beautiful forces we know.

FREE MahJong Lessons
2026-04-06 18:30 - 20:00 | 211 S Water St E, 53538, 211 South Water Street East, Fort Atkinson, WI, 53538, United States
Step into the world of American Mahjong, a lively and modern twist on the classic Chinese tile game. With its bright tiles, clever combinations, and ever-changing annual card of hands, American Mahjong blends strategy, memory, and a dash of luck into a game that’s as social as it is satisfying. In this class, you’ll learn the game the way it’s meant to be enjoyed: friendly, relaxed, and full of laughter — no gambling, no pressure, just having fun.
American Mahjong is perfect for:

People who enjoy puzzles and patterns
Anyone looking for a new social hobby
Learners who love games that are easy to start but endlessly interesting
Players who enjoy a mix of creativity and strategy

You’ll explore the iconic National Mah Jongg League card, discover how to build winning hands, and practice the rhythm of drawing, discarding, and calling tiles. By the end, you’ll be ready to sit down at any table and play with confidence. Whether you’re brand-new or simply curious, this class opens the door to a warm, welcoming community and a timeless game that brings people together.
Hello, my name is Angela Nelson, and I have been playing American Mahjong for more than 10 years. My enthusiasm for the game has only grown with time. What began as a filling-in position quickly became a passion — one I now love sharing with others. Over the years, I have taught numerous new players who continue to enjoy the game today.
Mahjong has traveled with me far beyond the classroom. I have played on multiple vacations, discovering how the game brings people together no matter where they are. These experiences have shaped my belief that Mahjong is more than a game — it’s a social connector, a mental workout, and a joyful tradition worth passing on. In my classes, I focus on creating a relaxed, supportive environment where beginners feel comfortable learning at their own pace. I look forward to welcoming new players and sharing the game that has brought me so much enjoyment over the years.
This is a FREE event but registration is required. Registration is for all three dates. Please contact FAC is you cannot attend of of the dates. Space is limited.
