Lovely mosaics like this one will be sold to promote Art ‘Round Town at an exhibit at the Johnson Heritage Post February 14 – 17.
Karen Neal of Hovland is encouraging local artists to participate in a fundraiser to benefit public art projects such as creation of a new wall mural in Grand Marais.
“I recently finished a 12-inch by 12-inch mosaic for the A’RT (Art ‘Round Town) fundraiser which will be held at the Johnson Heritage Post in Grand Marais from Feb. 14 through 17,” said Neal. “Proceeds will go to local public art projects, with emphasis this year on a fresh new mosaic on the west wall of Johnson’s grocery store created by students.”
Anyone with any artistic flair or mind set should consider making his or her own 12-inch by 12-inch piece to donate, said Neal. Each item will be sold for a $100 donation. All mediums are requested.
Artists may drop off their work at the Johnson Heritage Post between noon and 4 p.m. Feb. 8-10, or contact Ann Mershon by e-mail (amershon@boreal.org) to make other arrangements. “If you enjoy making art or craft, give it a try. You don’t have to be a professional to participate in this,” Neal said.
