The work of Homestead art teacher Joshua Hunt has been displayed throughout his professional career and his shows have displayed a variety of styles of art.

“My first two solo shows were just photography. One was in college and one was right out of college,” Hunt said. The shows have been displayed throughout Milwaukee and Wisconsin in Private studios and schools.

As for the subject of Hunt’s shows his first show displayed his “personal spaces that were important to me. All around Milwaukee, in my hometown or on my travels,” he said. The shows have also included 3-D art, a presidential portrait solo show and digital art.

Hunt is enjoying his time at Homestead and says the experience is rewarding. Hunt said, “This experience at Homestead has grown my practice more than anything else that I could have involved myself in.” He added that his involvement at Homestead has grown his understanding of art as well.

Hunt often blends the two aspects of his life in a sort of balance. “In a lot of ways I’ll take a project that I’ve done personally and then I’ll bring the same core of it to the curriculum here.” Hunt said “the time I arrive here I’m a teacher but I’m also an artist. I keep them seperate to a degree but I also think there is an interplay.” Hunt believes this is a healthy balance because he can do what he loves and help other people in the process.

As for what the future holds, Hunt says he still has shows regularly but also enjoys his time at Homestead. Hunt said he is currently working on a museum exhibition for the Boy Scouts, whom he works with regularly on other artistic projects. He is unsure whether his career will ever leave Homestead but he said Homestead has grown his practice more than anything else could.
