A traveling student art exhibit has recently landed in Red Wing, Minn. The exhibit depicts work generated by students following a month-long intensive art experience in New York City. An article published in The Red Wing Republican Eagle described the exhibition as having captured the experience of New York City through artists’ eyes. Dan Guida of the Red Wing Arts Association was impressed by the diversity. He says, “The show includes a variety of media and themes.” Professor John Volk organized and structured the New York City trip. As part of the curriculum, Volk integrated visits to art galleries, gallery openings and New York City artist studios as well as time to study at the New York Academy of Art. The trip immersed the students into a life of what it is like to be an artist in New York.
For those of you who missed the opportunity to view the work of the seventeen student artists, the occasion has returned. “A New York Experience” will be on display April 9 through May 2 at the Red Wing Arts Association’s Depot Gallery. A public reception is set for 6 to 8 p.m. April 10.
