18th Annual Juried Art Exhibition

Juror: Daryn Lowman

Artists from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota were invited to submit slides or digital images of up to two pieces of work in the two- and three-dimensional categories to be reviewed by the juror. Lowman has selected 35 works by 30 different artists representing a wide variety of media to appear in the show.

Lowman will be present at the reception and will provide his comments on the exhibit and awards will be presented to winners in the two- and three-dimensional categories.

This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council (www.ARACouncil.org) through an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature.

Flux

Lowman is a ceramicist and an Art Instructor at Hibbing Community College in Hibbing, MN. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Minnesota, a Master of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alaska.

His intention for this show is to "bring together works that display the transition of flux as a material and as a connection to daily life. The word flux satisfies my nature and definition of how daily life contains a continous flow of change and movement." Works in the exhibition will be both functional and non-functional soda-fired ceramics.
