RAPID CITY, SD (AAPJ) – Approximately 45 new watercolor pieces will showcase a cross-section of works in the Inez & Milton Shaver Gallery and Lobby Gallery at the Dahl Arts Center during the opening of “The Members’ 25th Annual Celebration of Light Exhibition for the Northern Plains Watercolor Society” on Friday, August 21, 2020.

Artwork by Susan Drey. “My passion for art began at the early age of five when I took classes at the Des Moines Iowa Art Center…. The subjects of my watercolor paintings include street scenes, native birds and wildlife. My work has an energetic and expressive style that perfectly reflects my background in architecture, my love of nature, and my great lust for life.” http://www.susandrey.com

This year, artist Kim Johnson will judge the artworks and offer her critiques from 3:30 to 5:00 pm on opening day. The artist awards will be given during the reception from 5:00-7:00 pm. The show will remain on view through October 24, 2020.
