Lake Region Arts Council is excited to announce the exhibition opening of new works, selected by guest juror Tasha Kubesh. Works will be on display from July 5th, 2022 until September 30th, 2022 in the LRAC Main Gallery at the historic River Inn, 133 S. Mill St., Fergus Falls, MN. A public reception for the artists will be held September 20th, 2022 from 5:30-7PM, with artists talks beginning at 6PM in LRAC’s Main Gallery.
“Works selected form an exhibition of regional artists’ artwork on the subject of reflection and contemplation, nature and the human condition. An honor, great pleasure, and difficult task selecting from Minnesota Lake Region’s incredible and inspiring talent, this exhibition culminates with eighteen artist’s work forming a kaleidoscope of intriguing skills, material and color, thought and passion. Thank you to all artists for all of their important creations that are crucial to making this reflective and contemplative life—lively, transformational, beautiful and just,” says Guest Juror, Tasha Kubesh.
