Local Art Seen: DAI Member Show Is Always a Favorite

The Great Hall at the Depot. Duluth Art Institute Member Show.

I don't know what the temperature was precisely, but it was cold Thursday evening. That didn't stop people from filling the parking lot with cars and the Depot with friends of the arts. Here is a representative sampling of some of the 123 pieces I saw in the Member Show.

Margaret Helstrom's Pink made me think of Matisse.

Faith Holding Hope, by Shawna Gilmore.

Shells, by Doug Dunham. Digital print on aluminum.

Days on the Wine Dark Sea #1 by Karen Nease.

Kris Nelson's Delft Influenced.

Sarah Brokke Erickson's She is the Moment Just Before.

I Believe In Chance by Adam Swansom

Matt Kania's Mr. Potato Mouth (Check out his show at the Zeitgeist before it's gone.)

Tab Benoit Sings the Blues, by William Wise

Bridges of Tischer Creek, by TJ Beaulier. Oil on wood relief.
