Chloé Allyn @hotspider is poet and facilitator from Appleton, WI. Inspired by letters, books, and society, Allyn’s artistic work is often covered in words. She uses her creative practice to consider two questions: how to bring poetry to an unexpected space and how can this be a book? She works in a variety of media and views each as another exciting way to play with words. Within her poetry, Allyn explores pleasure, decolonization and humanity. She is dedicated to inspiring others and building artistic community.
.
From Allyn’s statement: “On each of these found garments is a poem by written by Chloé Allyn. The first goal is to expand the idea of a ‘page’ where poems are often imprisoned. Viewers are invited to experience the verse beyond the preconceived notions of a poem in a book on a page. For these pieces, the method of embroidery is chosen for its attachment to female craft and the methodical, meditative nature of layering threads into words. True to her nature, Allyn is compelled to make physical manifestations of her writing, especially in the digital age.”
.
See Allyn’s work, and the art of four other artists in the exhibition “Read the Room,” currently installed in the UWGB Lawton Gallery. Gallery hours are Monday—Saturday, 10am—3pm. Closed Sundays. Free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through February 26th, 2026.

Put it on your calendar—exhibition reception on February 5th!
.
We are so excited to announce our first exhibition for this upcoming semester. “Read the Room” brings the work of five artists who integrate text into their pieces. In a time where we contemplate what it means to have AI finding way into our society, it is important to recognize direct, human, voices and the stories they carry. In this exhibition, you will see this in printmaking, drawing, ceramics, painting, sculpture, installations, and fiber. It is truly a wonderful statement of “we are here.”
.
Exhibiting artists in “Read the Room” are: Chloé Allyn, Nina Ghanbarzadeh, Glen Martin Taylor, Nirmal Raja, and Lisa Wicka!
.
Exhibition reception will be Thursday, February 5th, from 4–7pm. The exhibition runs from January 26th–February 26th, 2026. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am–3pm. Closed Sundays. The Lawton gallery is free and open to the public. We are located at the University of Green Bay-Wisconsin, 2420 Nicolet Drive, Green Bay. 2nd floor Theatre Hall.
