According to NWMAC Showcase Specialist Trey Everett, “This gallery was a lot of fun to put together. The artists in our Artists of Northwest Minnesota booklet are pretty savvy and wanting to show their work so they went out of their way to get their artwork to the gallery. The wide variety of work in the gallery includes what we often don't have a chance to showcase, like giclee prints, CDs, books, greeting cards, and other items you would find in museum gift shops. In addition, we have our stellar original art that is profound and inviting. I think our region will love this show."
The NWMAC Gallery is located at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls. The gallery hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm and at other times when events are held at the college. Enter through Door A. Visitor parking is free at this time in the large end lot.
