“When the Work is Done” is the theme of this year’s Regional Adult Art Show, open through July 2 at the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center.
The free show features work by 27 west central Minnesota artists, including Jerry Mevissen’s “When the Work Is Done,” Dawn Rossbach’s “It Just Never Stops,” and Laura Grisamore’s “Asclepias Incarnata/Swamp Milkweed.”
Artwork on view includes prints, paintings, ceramics, mixed media, weaving, wood and steel sculpture.
Robin Olson, artist and owner of Off the Wall Studio in Clitherall, judged the show. Dick Dubord’s woodwork, “Minnesota/Llama,” took first place. Troy Becker’s screen print, “Whistle While You Work,” placed second.
Mevissen’s mixed media sculpture took third place. Rossbach and Grisamore were among five artists receiving honorable mentions, along with Pam Robinson’s “Fish, Fin, Nest, Bird,” Sandra Shaughnessy’s “Washi Coffee Press” and Brad Wegsheid’s “When the Drugs Begin to Take Hold.”
