Lake Region Arts Council will be hosting a multi-artist exhibition reception on Tuesday, October 8th, 5:30-7pm that is open to the public and we will have food and drinks. The title of the exhibition is, "Surreal Visions". Definition of Surreal art…” art that balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams.” We asked artists to stretch their imaginations and creative techniques. They responded with an exciting variety of styles and mediums. This juried exhibition has something for everyone. The exhibition will run October 7th to December 17th, 2024.
Our juried exhibitions are always very popular with regional artists and gallery guests. The exhibition features the very best work from our regional artists and is a must see for our Gallery visitors. This year the Lake Region Arts Council Gallery Board Committee chose 17 artists living in the LRAC 9 county region. The artists featured in the exhibition are the following; Olivia Hoppe, Tim Cassidy, Jacqueline Henning, Mary Williams, Maggie Peterson, Brad Wegscheid, Kevin Zepper, Laura VonBank, Kimberly Boe, Rebecca Kruger, Samantha Johnson-Purdie, Emma Tomb, Penny Kagigebi, Desiree Logan, Anna Lassonde, James Hopkins and Blayze Buseth.
For the month of October, Lake Region Arts Council is working in a partnership with Otter Cove Children’s Museum, Kaddatz Galleries and Otter Tail County Historical Society and are running a special program that you, the guests, can participate in for the month of October! October is National Museum and Gallery month and we are all partnering together in the creation of a Museum & Galleries Passport, sponsored by Mabel Murphy’s. Participates will be able to pick up a Passport at any 4 location on October 1st. During the LRAC Artist Reception on October 8th we will have a guest speaker, Executive Director of Otter Tail County Historical Society, Chris Schuelke. Chris will speak about the history of the River Inn building at 6pm at the artist reception on October 8th. Please join in the celebration of the exhibition, kicking off the Museum & Gallery Passport, and learning about the history of our historic beautiful building downtown Fergus Falls, and get your passport stamped at the artist reception.
The gallery hours are Monday – Thursday 9:00AM – 3:00PM and closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please email or call before you visit the gallery to ensure that the gallery is open that day. Call the LRAC office (toll free in MN) at 1-800-262-2787 or 218-739-5780 or email LRAC4@LRACgrants.org
