MEET THE ARTISTS- OPEN HOUSE

The approaching month of July will be a busy one for the Blank Canvas Gallery in Park Rapids.

Area residents Judy Wegenast and Jerry Wegenast will be the next featured artists at the Blank Canvas Gallery. They are from Rochert, MN not too far west of Park Rapids.

Their artwork will go up in a special display along with an open house reception on June 29th and continue through the month of July. Judy will be displaying a new group of paintings some of which have been inspired by the students at the local dance school in Park Rapids. Judy has worked with Denise Gulbranson, director of the Northland Studio of Dance in Park Rapids to be able to produce some wonderful paintings of dancers.

Jerry Wegenast is the other half of this dynamic artistic duo. Jerry works in wood and produces wood turning and fantastic custom furniture items. His highlight for this opening will be a new red birch with walnut inlay wine rack. It is a true piece of art in wood.

In addition, several new guest artists are displaying artwork at the gallery in July and will be available to discuss their work at the June 29th reception and open house. New guest artists for July include gourd artist Connie Schindle , glass blower Jon Offutt, Members of the Park Rapids White Birch Artists Group and jewelry maker Pat Doughty. All of these guest artists will be showing their artistic creations at the gallery in the month of July.

The public reception for this new show will be on Friday, June 29th from 5-7 PM at the gallery with the artists present. Enjoy wine and refreshments, visit with Jerry, Judy and other member artists to learn more about their art work and what inspires them.

It's always free, fun and inspiring to visit:
