There will also be a public reception held for the artists on Thursday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the art gallery.

According to Riverland Art Instructor Tim Jones the exhibition showcases a remarkable group of painters and highlights some of the foremost regional practitioners of this medium, representing one of our area’s cultural strengths.

The Riverland James Wegner Art Gallery features a diverse mix of student, community and professional artist work, traveling shows and the like. It is located on the Austin Campus in the West Building.
