A new public art exhibition titled 'Of the Earth' has opened at Ortenstone Gardens and Sculpture Park in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The exhibition features three sculptures by Polish-American artist Olga Ziemska, who is also the park's first artist-in-residence, supported by local nonprofit Project 412. The works incorporate natural materials like river rocks, sticks, and grass, and join Thomas Dambo's troll sculpture 'Barefoot Frida' as permanent attractions at the 50-acre park, which was donated to the city by the Mark and Cindy Fritz Foundation.

10 area artists featured in latest Charles Beck Gallery exhibit

Ten regional artists are featured in 'Second Wind,' a new exhibition opening August 19 at the Charles Beck Gallery on the M State Fergus Falls campus. The show includes paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and other works by Shirlee Daulton, Kim Embretson, Kandace Creel Falcón, Kent Kapplinger, Dan Meckle, Ken Omundson, Susan Seaborn, Sandy Thimgan, Malcolm Thompson, and Mary Jo Wentz. An artist reception will be held September 25. The exhibit was conceived by M State Ceramics Faculty Lori Charest, who was inspired by former President George W. Bush taking up painting after his political career; though Bush declined to participate, Charest pivoted to highlight local artists who found creative renewal later in life.
