Local Art Seen: UWS Student Show @ Kruk Gallery

"Dreamland" -- Jared Bush

Last Thursday I had a chance to attend the opening reception for the UWS Student Show at the Kruk Gallery in Superior. I always enjoy student shows, in part because I like seeing the work itself, but also because I like seeing the students' influences. Here are some pictures from the show, which is still on display at the Kruk. Special thanks to Annie Dugan who helped curate the exhibition.

We were in Superior in part to post leaflets and fliers about our Call for Art for this year's Duluth Dylan Fest. The theme is North Country Inspiration, and I am guessing that nearly every artist in our community has created something in response to the inspiration of our region. Please consider sharing. Brock Larson, co-founder of the Great Lakes Academy of Fine Art has agreed to help curate and hang this show.
