HANCOCK -- The Copper Country Community Arts Center (CCCAC) invited community artists to respond to the theme of WATER for an exhibition in the Kerredge Gallery. The CCCAC will donate its portion of the sales to the Keweenaw Community Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund, which benefits those who are working to put their lives back together after the disastrous June 17 flood. The gallery is filled with paintings, photographs, and drawings, as well as baskets and fiber depicting soothing images of water. The exhibit opened Aug. 14 and continues through Aug. 31.
Artists taking part in this exhibition include: Brenda Anttila, Leona Blessing, Kevin Breyfogle, Eunice Carlson, Cynthia Coté, Bob Dawson, Phyllis Fredendall, Joyce Koskenmaki, Nancy Kromer, Donna Lenard, Madhura Mehendale, Clyde Mikkola, Eric Munch, Paul Osmak, Sandra Norris Palmore, Miriam Pickens, Kris Raisanen Schourek, Bridget Riversmith, Toivo Salo, Daniel Schneider, Judith Saunders, Barbara Summersett, Fredi Taddeucci, Abigail Tembreull, Karen Tembreull, Rod Waara, and Christa Walck.
The public is invited to celebrate the healing power of art at a reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 24. Refreshments will be served. Purchasing a piece from this exhibition will support a local artist and help the CCCAC help our community. The Copper Country Community Arts Center is located at 126 Quincy Street in Hancock. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. For more information call (906) 482-2333.
