Wayne Bartz’s presentation on southeast Minnesota’s trout streams and rivers has been rescheduled for July 10. Wayne writes for Midwest Fly Fishing magazine. He has fly fished “his” corner of the Driftless for three decades, tied flies professionally, guided and recently has become known for his excellent stream photography. Wayne was weather-bound June 5, the night his presentation was to have been held.
Gallery Artists: John Koch, Ardell Nelson, Bryan Young, Jack Haines, Derek de Young. In addition to the woodcuts, oils, pastels and watercolors on display, we’re introducing Jon Fibeger’s ceramic trout. Attractive and affordable, Jon’s trout are carved from a block of clay, then bisque fired, glazed and fired again. Each trout is numbered and a great gift for the angler in your life, including yourself.
Larry Gavin’s new collection of poems Least Resistance, and an earlier work Necessities can be purchased at www.reddragonflypress.org.
Our hope is that the Vermilion Sporting Arts Gallery will be a dynamic presence in your life. We’ll send notices to our gallery mailing list and update this website regularly to communicate our programs and special events.
Our mission is to bring the work of innovative and accomplished artists to our gallery for public viewing. Painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers — all will be welcome, and you’re welcome to come by to see and in most cases buy their work.
We also will hope to capture your interest along the way with programs having to do with protecting (or, our failure to protect) what is left of our wild lands and waters.
The Gallery will be open by appointment (call me anytime at 952.920.9028).
