The Riverfront Arts Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, will open a new exhibition titled 'Fantastical' on May 7, celebrating imagination and creativity. The opening reception runs from 4:30 to 7 p.m. and includes food, refreshments, flow arts performances, tarot readings, music, and a chance to meet the artists. The exhibition is open to all artists aged 18 and older, with submissions accepted on April 30 and May 1, and runs through June 14.
This exhibition matters because it provides a community-focused platform for local and regional artists to showcase imaginative works across all media, reinforcing the role of small art centers in fostering grassroots creativity and public engagement. It highlights how local arts organizations sustain cultural vibrancy outside major metropolitan areas, offering accessible opportunities for both artists and audiences.
