Superior Artist Group Show 2020 – Virtual Exhibition

To celebrate the reopening the Washburn Cultural Center, the annual show of artworks by the Superior Artist Group debuted on Friday, July 3. This year’s show features work from Sara Balbin, Royanne Goossen, Dora Kling, Karen Maki, Wendy Deerly Reese, Jason Terry, and Jonathan Walburg. Together, their works interpret this region’s hidden textures and historic architectures, its figures, its features, and its seasonal visions through each artist’s unique styles and the varied media they work in.

We encourage you to see these works in person! However, if you are unable to do so, this virtual slideshow also displays the talents of these artists and includes all the ceramics, etchings and relief prints, watercolor and oil paintings, mixed media sculptures, and postcard displays on exhibit this month. To view the virtual exhibition in detail, simply click an image, and then swipe or use the left/right arrows to see the works around it.

If you would like to see this Superior Artist Group show, please note that this year’s exhibition will be open to the public by appointment only, and for the continued safety of all, masks will be required of all visitors. Appointment slots are available every Wednesday through Saturday between the hours of 1 PM and 5 PM throughout the month of July. Please call (715) 373-5591 or send an email to washburnculturalcenter@gmail.com to set up an appointment to view this year’s exciting Superior Artist Group exhibition!
