The Northwest Minnesota Art Exhibit is held annually at locations throughout our region. This year the location of the event is the Middle River Legacy Center. Artists from our 7 county- service region can enter into this art exhibit and compete for $2,300.00 in cash awards. Artists must reside in Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Polk, Pennington, Roseau, or Red Lake counties to be eligible. Both adult and student artists are encouraged to enter. Two pieces of artwork can be entered. To be eligible a work must have been completed within the last five years and not have been accepted into a previous Northwest Minnesota Art Exhibit.
Exhibit cash award winners are chosen while the exhibit is on display by a qualified juror. They are recognized and receive their check at the Artist Reception held on April 30 at the Legacy Center cafeteria. Dates and times for the art show have been determined. Someone will be available to receive artwork on March 6, 7 & 8 at the Legacy Center.
The opening day of the event is Saturday, March 11 from 1-5 p.m. After that, the exhibit will be open Monday-Friday during city office hours. Other special hours will be Saturday, April 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. and again through the evening on Tuesday, April 11 and Tuesday, April 18.
The awards reception is scheduled for April 30 with the luncheon beginning at 3 pm and the awards program at 4 p.m.
The Legacy is proud to host this year’s Northwest Minnesota Art Exhibit and invites everyone to “Spring Into the Gallery” and share in the enjoyment of local Art!
