Color Play, a new exhibition featuring hand-blown glass by Tyler Boles and mixed-media works by Sue Cranston, opened at Art’s House in River Falls on April 30 and runs through June 12. A Meet the Artist event is scheduled for May 6. Boles presents vibrant bowls, vases, and wine goblets, while Cranston’s work explores girlhood and memory through digital prints, vintage school chairs, and layered text, with prices ranging from $10 for digital prints to $750 for original pieces.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the complementary talents of two local artists working in distinct mediums—glass and mixed media—while engaging the community with accessible pricing and thematic depth. Cranston’s introspective look at childhood and Boles’ celebration of color and fragility offer a thought-provoking experience that goes beyond typical regional art shows, and the gallery’s inclusion of a Pollinator Garden contest and a Children’s Art Exhibit underscores Art’s House’s role as a hub for local creative engagement.
