It's a trio of exhibits currently on display in the Northland that highlight the established venues and artists that add to the vibrancy of the area.
In the Lake Superior College Library, a retrospective of photography and fabric work by Ivy Vainio is on display. "Ivy is a photographer, a community builder, a fiber artist," says Annie Dugan. "Sort of an artist in this way that a lot of artists have become less defined by the material they use and more defined by the ideas and the community that they create with their art." The exhibit is free and open to the public through August 7th.
At Duluth Pottery, there's been a steady rotation of 2-D artists to compliment the 3-D works on display. "It always is wonderful to see how these artists communicate across dimensions with their work," says Dugan. "You notice things in the ceramics that you wouldn't notice if you didn't have this backdrop." The work of watercolor artist Laura Stone is currently on display to aid in the dimensionality.
And at Karpeles Manuscript Museum there is currently an exhibit of Letters and Correspondences of Charles Darwin. "This is one of the world's best manuscript museums," says Dugan. "We get to see parts of it here in our community." Karpeles is free and open to the public from 10am-4pm during the week and 11am-4pm on the weekends.
You can hear Where's Art every Monday morning at 8:20 on Northland Morning.
