New Exhibit and Northfield Art Crawl After-Hours Reception

By Dave Machacek

Yellow Glass Smiles

The Ole Store will be open after the regular hours of Friday night’s Northfield Art Crawl for a special Art Crawl reception. The time for this event will be from 9 to 11 pm, after the regular hours of the Crawl that run from 6 to 9 pm. Tickets will be distributed at each of the participating galleries on Friday night. Please join all Art Crawl participants and toast to a “Crawl Well Done”!

A complete schedule of upcoming art exhibits at the Ole Store Art Wall will be forthcoming, as the transition to new ownership of the restaurant is accomplished. Special consideration was given to the west wall of the Ole Store coffee shop and this resulted in a special place to display art. A photoset of the construction of this wall can be seen here.

The first exhibit at the Ole Store Art Wall is from watercolor painter Howard Olson. This exhibit is a reprise of a show he did at ArtOrg last fall, and includes several new paintings. More information on all our shows can be found here.

ArtOrg’s regular offering in the Moving Walls Gallery at 200 Division Street (riverside entrance) is an exhibit of art glass which was created in classes from this fall and winter. The classes were taught by Rick Swearer and Gail Dahlberg at The Anderson Center in Red Wing, Minnesota. Gail Dahlberg is glassblower-in-residence at the Center, and holds an MFA in glassblowing from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. The exhibit will include work from Rick and Gail, and students Claire Baker, Ben Finley, Pete Rossmiller, Kari Alberg, and others. Many beautiful works will be available for purchase. The show opens on Friday April 20 from 6 to 9pm as a part of the Northfield Art Crawl, and continues through April 29.
