The Austin Area Art Center will showcase two long-standing members for the March Art Exhibit, “Painting from the Heart.”

Longtime art teacher and watercolor artist James Wegner and award-winning pastel artist Shelley Aquino Brandon team up, with guest artisan “wood turner” Joe Aquino displaying wood creations. The show began Feb. 27 and will be on exhibit through March 31 at the Art Center Gallery in Oak Park Mall.

A public reception will be held in honor of the artists Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the gallery. For more information, call the art center at 507-433-8451 or visit
