"Wish You Were Here" Opening Reception Rescheduled
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- After months of seeking submissions, South Puget Sound Community College’s “Wish You Were Here” Postcard Exhibit is up and running at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts Gallery. And although the recent storm cancelled the initial opening reception, originally slated for Jan. 20, it has now been rescheduled. The exhibit’s opening reception will now take place Friday, Feb. 3 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
More than 75 local and regional artists submitted more than 250 works in a wide variety of media for the show and silent auction. The postcards include paintings, prints, photography, drawing, ceramics, sculpture and mixed media.
The exhibit opened on Jan. 11 and runs through March 2. The Feb. 3 opening reception kicks off the silent auction, with bidding beginning at 7 p.m. Each of the works on display will be available in the auction. A special closing reception will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 2, with bidding closing at 7 p.m. Successful bidders at the closing reception can take their winning works home with them that night, while successful bidders not present will be contacted via e-mail following the closing reception. All proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts Gallery. A “People’s Choice” award will also be announced at the closing reception.
The Minnaert Center Gallery is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m., and by appointment. For more information, e-mail or call (360) 596-5527. Information about the gallery is also available online at www.spscc.ctc.edu/cfa.
