Local Art Seen: Artist Susan Krochalk Celebrates 50th with 50-Piece Art Show at the County Seat Theater

Yesterday I snuck down to the County Seat Theater in Cloquet to see what Susan Krochalk had on display there. Naturally I wanted to see the George Harrison-inspired guitar that I wrote about recently.

Krochalk's a little like me in one respect. She paints in a variety of styles and any surface is fair game for being painted on. And for her 50th birthday she decided to put some of this on display.

The show can be seen for one week only. The reception is tonight, a belated birthday party, and you are invited. If you've not yet been to the County Seat Theater (a.k.a. Encore Performing Arts Center), you ought to go sometime. You'll find the gallery tucked into an intimate space and you'll enjoy the variety of painting tucked in there.

Kris Nelson has been curating this area of the theater where patrons of the theater hang out before the shows and during intermissions. Their current show is Sorry, Wrong Chimney, which sounds like a holiday themed comedy to me. Artists are always invited to show their work at each of the shows if they have something that ties to the theme. You are rewarded with a free ticket to the show, a nice incentive to pay attention to what is coming up.

For those who haven't been following this blog, Krochalk has been a regular contributor to the annual Duluth Dylan Fest art events we've had over the last several years. Our upcoming Dylan Fest (the week preceding May 24 next spring) will feature a student show, the seed having been sown by Susan.

Thank you for the nice write up. I was encouraged by the support of so many of my friends, close to 60 people were there to celebrate. My heart is full.
