Opening Reception for Local Clay Artist’ Showcased Work

Eighteen ceramic artists will be exhibiting their work in the Northfield Arts Guild Gallery from February 23rd to April 2, 2011 in Setting Roots: Inspirations > Influences > Connections, an invitational show curated by Colleen Riley and Barbara Zaveruha. 

While some artists hail from across the country, others are Minnesota natives; all have settled in the Cannon River Valley.  The Gallery will be filled with a diverse grouping of both functional and sculptural pieces.  A diagram in the space will reveal the artists’ mentors and inspirations behind their work.

Participating artists include Kelly Connole, Rafael Estrella, Kate Fisher, Joel Froehle, Ron Gallas, Fred Gustafson, Jim Haas, Sonja Hillestad, Chris Holmquist, Sheryl Joy, James LaChance, Dawn Makarios, Donovan Palmquist, Colleen Riley, Juliane Shibata, Tom Willis, Meg Jensen Witt, and Barbara Zaveruha.
