NCI ARTworks to showcase local artists at April 10 reception

NCI ARTworks is set to host a major group exhibition featuring 25 prominent local artists from the Ottawa Art League. Opening with a public reception on April 10 at the historic Westclox building in Peru, Illinois, the showcase will feature a diverse array of mediums including woodworking, watercolor, mixed media, and ceramics. The exhibition will remain on view through late May, with all featured works available for purchase.

This event highlights the vibrant regional art scene within La Salle, Bureau, and Putnam counties by consolidating award-winning local talent under one roof. By providing a platform for tri-county artists to sell their work and engage with the community, the exhibition reinforces the role of local arts organizations in sustaining the cultural and economic health of regional creative hubs.
