Art is like any relationship. Where there is room to give, there is room to recieve.
ALONDRA ARTEAGA is a contemporary artist and designer from the United States of America. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Alondra has exhibited her work throughout the Greater Milwaukee Area. Recent exhibitions include Crossing Over 2024, a group exhibition at the University of Wisconsin - Milwauke. This exhibition highlighted outstanding students in the Art and Design Program who are recognized as those with academic and artistic promise as well as an award for their hard work.
On September 15, 2023, Alondra exhibited work to kick off the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. The group exhibition titled, ¡Chicano Power! was displayed at Marn Art + Culture Hub in downtown Milwaukee. Hosted by La Revo Books, ¡Chicano Power! “- pays homage to the depth, perseverance, defiance, and celebration of Chicanismo by bringing together its origins, recent history, and contemporary creatives in a multi-faceted experience through the complexity of the artist’s perspectives.” (marnarts.org) The artists featured in the exhibition were asked to reflect on their personal Chicano identity and how that impact can be seen through their art.
Alondra is in her fourth year of pursuing a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Design and Visual Communication with a Minor in General Business from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, where she is a recipient of multiple academic scholarships and accolades.
In 2024 she was offered the position to become a Lab Monitor for the Design and Visual Communication Department. Again, in 2025 she was offered the same position and continues to serve her peers to present day. As a Lab Monitor, she is trained and proficient in handeling industry grade machines such as laser cutters, 3-D printers, vinyl cutters, large and small format printers, risograph printers, and more. She is also tasked with monitoring student flow into the space to ensure a safe and efficient use of lab.
Storytelling is a common theme in my work. I have always gravitated towards this and have come to learn that it may be the most important part of art and design.
The work ranges from graphic design, photography, textiles, print, and a combination of all. Many times my work reflects my heritage and my ethnic community. Other times, it reflects my geographical home and the community that makes it up.
Telling stories is a way for me to use my talents as a link for others. It is a voice for those who have something to say, something to reclaim, or something to feel. It is a collaboration with my neighbors, as they give me a piece of themselves and I give them a part of me.
I have been starting to lean into worldbuilding in my practices and reimagining the place we live in instead of creating a new one. Yet, the pattern stays the same, storytelling. I hope that the rest of my practice continues to be a voice for the people and invites others to listen, learn, and grow together.
