A panel of artists includingf David Dube, Connie Herberg, James Poulson, Sheila Reiman, and Cathryn Sugg will participate in an artist talk and demonstration during the opening reception. A semi-formal event, each artist will work side by side discussing techniques, mediums, sharing stories, and fielding questions. This event will bring the gallery experience full circle
Our Inside Out exhibit is featuring traditional, contemporary, minimalist and multi-media landscape artworks. Five regional artists will participate in this exhibit: Shannon Berg, Bozeman; Connie Herberg, Sheperd; James Poulson, Billings; Sheila Reiman, Sentinel Butte, ND; and Cathryn Sugg, Glasgow.
The Old Paper – New Art exhibit is the work of Helena artist and antique paper collector David Dube. David collects letter head, receipts, invoices and stationary from Montana businesses that date to the pre-1900s. By drawing fitting illustrations over the collected papers, David brings old papers into new perspective.

Shannon has exhibited throughout Montana and was a Visiting Artist with USDA Forest Service, Elementary Students in Big Timber. Her work explores the importance of both the micro and macro process and patterns of the landscape. Her drawings and translations are ways of seeing one small space in different ways.
