Artist Reception for ‘Form and Surface’ and ‘Chapters’ Exhibitions 

About

The Anderson Center will be hosting a joint artist reception featuring two exhibitions on Saturday, November 16, from 2-4 p.m. Artist Receptions are always free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.

About the Exhibitions

Form and Surface showcases new ceramic work by four artists based in southeastern Minnesota. view October 5, 2024 – January 11, 2025, Laurie Cohrs, Mary Beth Magyar, Lisa S. Truax, and Alexis Zaccariello (collectively known as The Claydies) exhibit a wide range of work, exploring the many forms and surface imagery of contemporary ceramics work. Form and Surface is in Gallery Three. The artists will also be a special pop-up boutique during the reception!

Chapters is a multi-media exhibition by Talon Cavendar-Wilson and Dani Prados (Iron & Iris). Chapters began as the conversation of life in a small prairie town between someone who grew up there and a newcomer figuring out the intricacies of place and people. This landscape-rooted dialogue materialized in “chapters”; each an exploration of what collaboration between two artists of different crafts – and histories – can look like.

Now each new home of the exhibit births a new Chapter exploring that place, and the whole beast grows, evolves, and weaves new connections, feeds roots already seeded. Red Wing welcomes a new chapter of Chapters – launching a year-long state tour with new voices, waters, and collaboration. This exhibition is on view from November 16, 2024 – January 18, 2025 in Gallery One.
