| Gallery space at the Encore Theater in Cloquet. |
Before getting tot the dates and times for January, here is a Call for Art from Kris Nelson at the Encore Theater in Cloquet. Kris organizes the art shows that accompany the events. I had some paintings in the last one. I saw that Adam Swanson also was showing, so you will be in good company. Here's the announcement:
Call for art for the next show at the Encore! Performing Arts Center and Gallery. Located in Cloquet, MN at 2035 Hwy 33 South. “The Great Nursing Home Escape” by Nathan Hartswick is our next production. This one act play takes place in a locked-down nursing home. A misfit band of characters (ringleader, grouch, gossip, Casanova, airhead and shy one) try to escape only to have their best- laid plans go awry with hilarious results!
--IDEAS: elderly portraits, antiques, dreams of youth, etc.
• Submit up to three original pieces, ready to hang. No prints!
• Label(on back) all art with your name, medium and price. All sales go to the artist unless you choose to donate part of your proceeds to the gallery.
• Deliver art on or before Monday, Feb. 4, 2019. Normal hours are 9-5. Call Joel at (218) 451-0715 to insure that the theater is open. Art might not be accepted after this date!
• The art opening will be Thursday, Feb. 7, 2019. 6-7pm In appreciation for displaying your art, you are invited to attend the final dress rehearsal for free which follows the opening. Please bring a treat to share!
• Pick up your art on or after Feb. 25, 2019.
Creatively yours,
Kris Nelson (218) 348-7619 - Encore Gallery Art Curator
