M State Fergus Falls will host two winter art exhibits featuring three regional artists. Emily Williams-Wheeler's painting collection “The Process of Satiation” runs from January 14 to March 20 in the Charles Beck Gallery, while sisters Cathrin and Laura Von Bank present “The Eclectic Collection” of linocut prints, portraiture, fiber art, and mixed media in the Waage Gallery from January 21 to May 16. A joint reception with all three artists is scheduled for February 12.
The exhibits highlight the work of accomplished regional artists, including Williams-Wheeler, who was named North Dakota Artist of the Year and has large public murals in Fargo. The Von Bank sisters bring diverse media and decades of exhibition experience. These free, public shows strengthen local arts access and community engagement at a community college campus, underscoring the role of smaller institutions in supporting and showcasing regional artistic talent.
