On Sunday the 4th of December, from noon to 2, there will be a public reception for the “Northside Artist Showcase” at the recently reopened Coffee Gallerie (map) in Sherman Plaza.
The exhibit will be on display all of December and January and includes a unique variety of artwork by over 20 members of the organization in the areas of photography, drawing, painting, fiber arts, and other media. Some of the artworks were inspired by places many miles away such as Ron Baeseman’s watercolor “Barras Nose, Cornwell.” Other creations, such as Mike Murray’s “Winter Fog”, that he photographed on a foggy winter day near Sauk City, has Wisconsin written all over it.
In continuing its tradition of connecting with the Northside community, NSAG is inviting those coming to the December 4 reception to bring a donation for The River Food Pantry – either non-perishable food or a monetary donation. The River is Dane County’s busiest food pantry providing free groceries, meals, and clothing to so many in need in our area. For information go to www.riverfoodpantry.org.
NSAG’s other current exhibit “Warner’s Wonders” is now installed at Lakeview Branch Library until the end of December. The exhibit was previously on display at the Warner Park Community Center this fall and has artwork expressing its many diverse aspects.
