Thank you to everyone who stopped by the reception on Sunday February 20th to welcome and support me in my new post as director of The Wassenberg Art Center!
The warm response, wonderful food and great turnout are further evidence of the good people of Van Wert’s commitment to the arts in their community. With this type of civic involvement opportunity for program and exhibit expansion are boundless! I am truly excited, inspired and honored to serve The Wassenberg Art Center’s mission and to continue the rich heritage it has provided to the area. Public ideas are welcome and crucial so please, do not hesitate to contact the center if there is something you want to share, explore, learn or create!
We will soon be preparing for the upcoming Ohio Watercolor Exhibit, so if you haven’t had a chance to check out “The Art of Fiber”, get to the gallery this week and see the intricate quilts and unique rug designs on display. This show is sponsored by 1st Federal Savings & Loan and Stephanie Dawn. Exhibit Hours are 1-5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) and admission is free.
The Ohio Watercolor Society exhibit is a traveling show featuring beautiful works from some of Ohio’s finest watercolorists. It will be displayed at the Wassenberg Art Center from March 8 through March 27, and is sponsored by Central Mutual Insurance and Purmort Brothers Insurance Agency.
