Audiences have one day left to observe Art 50, an exhibition celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the North Dakota Council on the Arts at The Taube Museum of Art Main Gallery.

Free and open to the public, Art 50 is the traveling portion of a two-part exhibit.

The traveling exhibit features 50 artists for 50 years, each artist a testament to growth of the arts in North Dakota, a snapshot of the present and a hope for the arts in the future of our state.

Artists emerging, as well as seasoned, take their place in the history of this great state, and their fine art works showcase the diversity among them and the connection they have to North Dakota.

According to Linda Olson of the North Dakota Art Gallery Association and the curator of the exhibit, both 2-D and 3-D works by artists from all four corners of the state are on display for today only.

Additional artists included in the exhibit are Susana, Amundarain, Minot, Bradley J. Bachmeier, Fargo, Bennett Brien, Belcourt, Kaye Burian, Manning, Dean Colin Fay, Gackle, Cris Fulton, Bowman, Pat Gerlach, Wing, Guillermo Guardia, Grand Forks, Sabrina Hornung, Jamestown, Brian Hushagen, Bismarck, Anna Jacobson, Wales, Terry Jelsing, Rugby, Ali La Rock, Bismarck, Nelda Schrupp, Lakota, and Linda Whitney, Valley City.

Along with celebrating artists from around the state, the Lower Gallery will feature Canadian artist Lindsay Arnold’s exhibition “Tedium.”

“Tedium” is a series of detailed drawings of hand-made doilies exploring feminine identity. Through the doily, Arnold investigates the issues of aging and perfection and its role in the feminine identity and value.

Museum and Gift Shop hours are Tuesday – Friday 10:30 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by special appointment. There is no charge for admission, but contributions are accepted to help the Taube Museum fulfill its mission of enriching lives through the visual arts.
