BEMIDJI — Watermark Art Center and the family and friends of local artist Paula Swenson invite the public to a gallery talk and closing reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 24, at 505 Bemidji Ave. N.
Swenson passed away this year, and her tribute exhibit, “River of Time – Celebrating the Work of Paula Swenson,” is on display at Watermark through July 25. The exhibit contains work from family/private collections, most that have never been previously shown.
“Paula enjoyed opening young minds to the vast world of art,” a family member shared in a release. “She encouraged it. She planted it and nurtured it. She grew art into souls like flowers in a garden.”
The event is free to attend.
