MOSCOW, Idaho – If you've been looking to own an original art piece, now may be your chance.
The University of Idaho's Prichard Art Gallery will feature an invitational exhibition Jan. 22 through Feb. 9. It will culminate with a live auction of the pieces on Saturday, Feb. 6, at the gallery.
“This year we'll have paintings, drawings, photography and a really great selection of wood turned objects,” said Roger Rowley, Prichard Art Gallery director.
The biennial Invitational Exhibition and Auction will feature work donated by more than 50 of the best local regional artists whom have previously exhibited at the Prichard. The artwork will range in content and form, and include: painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, pottery, photography and jewelry.
Participants include: Marilyn Lysohir, Brenna Helm, Tamara Helm, Jim Christiansen, Elaine Green, Bill Bowler, Ross Coates and Marie Whitesel. Northwest artists include: Sandra Deutchman, Kasey Keeler, Lara Swimmer and Stephen Tse.
An exceptional selection of woodturnings by nationally recognized artists including, Jim Christiansen, Christian Burchard, Virginia Dotson, Cindy Drozda, Dewey Garrett, Michael Hosoluk and Steve Sinner.
“If you have any interest in what are the most amazing things people can do with wood, then this is not to be missed. You’d have to travel a long way to have the selection of artists that will have work available at the Prichard Auction,” said Rowley.
An online catalog will be available the week of Jan. 25 and feature information about the auction items: www.webs.uidaho.edu/prichard/auction.html; those unable to make it to the auction in person may submit e-mail bids in advance to the gallery.
