Every exhibit is free to the public five days per week, and is meant to offer a diverse array of art and offerings to our community, reflecting the wide range of styles and works present in our local art market.January/February began with a preview show with a selection of works from each artist being featured throughout the year. This time of year is always the slowest for art sales, and the goal of this show was to prevent any single artist from having to feature during a notoriously difficult time to sell in Bismarck. Instead each artist had the chance to display a teaser of their upcoming show while also netting some sales. In February, we helped host Giving Hearts Day. They hosted their event in an adjacent space to the Gallery, and we opened our space up for their attendees to use. One of our artists supplied free Giving Hearts Day prints to help promote the event.March/April was an all-female show titled Into the Wild. All pieces were from local female artists, and each piece was nature themed. In March we hosted a Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra Conductors Club, celebrating St. Patricks Day.May/June featured Whispers a collaboration between painter Jessica Wachter and photographer Kent Burkhardsmeier. Both artists exhibit around the nation and are collected throughout the country. The show featured photographic prints from Kent that were enhanced with paint from Jessica, creating a unique mixed-media collaboration. In May, we were a stop on a Historical Downtown Walking Tour, and hosted a group of tourists learning about Bismarck. We were a part of the Downtowners Wine Walk in June. Also in June, we collaborated with Brick Oven Bakery to install artwork in their bakery. Works from metal artist Patrick Shannon and acrylic painter Linda Donlin were disaplayed.July/August show was titled Wide Open Spaces, featuring works that focus on the North Dakota outdoors. Gallery Icon artists Vern Erickson and Walter Piehl were major features, as well as Minnesota artists Marcella Rose and Tracy Miller, and Fargo artist Karen Bakke.
