Paige Wiard Gallery to host work by Erv Lewandowski
The Paige Wiard Gallery will be welcoming award-winning artist Erv Lewandowski who specializes in colored pencil drawings of subjects and settings from across North America and beyond. Recognized for his contemporary realism/hyperrealism studies, his approach to nature, landscapes, and waterscapes is unique in style, meticulously rendered in detail, and visually appealing in form, content, and composition.
Lewandowski's waterscape images depicting slowly moving stream currents, quiet river pools, bubbling brooks, cascading waterfalls, and shoreline settings perfectly illustrate his ability to create the illusion of a speck of time, measure of space, and fluid movement with a subject that is in constant motion.
An opening reception for the artist will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, 2013, at the Paige Wiard Gallery, 109 5th St., Calumet. If you have any questions please call 906-337-5970.
Create miniature "Art from Nature" at Copper Country Associated Artists
Copper Country Associated Artists will offer a workshop, "Creating Art from Nature," from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on First Friday, Sept. 6, at their Gallery and Working Studio, 205 Fifth St. in Calumet.
Participants will learn the technique of natural impression using inking and paint with specimens of nature to create miniature works of art. Designs created with this technique can be used as an accent on a greeting card, a framed piece of art or original wrapping paper.
For more information, please call 906-337-1252. This workshop is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be available.
Tom Rudd to exhibit his Lake Superior fish at Galerie Bohème

The public is invited to the opening reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, at Galerie Bohème, 423 5th St. in Calumet. Punch, bread and cheese will be served.
