My piece, Any Scraps You Can Give, was accepted into the annual regional art exhibition, Art on the Plains XII, at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, ND.The exhibition was on display from Feb 13–May 22, 2016. I was also pleased to have had the opportunity to attend the opening on Saturday, Feb 13.
“Art on the Plains is Plains Art Museum’s signature juried exhibition for contemporary art in the region, presenting a survey of media and styles and identifying emerging and mature talent. Now in its twelfth installment, the exhibition has become an important career builder for young artists and a point of pride among established artists. Presented in two galleries, this exhibition will also serve as a cornerstone of the Museum’s 40th Anniversary celebration.”
