Dean Ertel: The Great Outdoors

Regional Gallery

October 9 – December 18, 2021

Dean Ertel is a landscape artist. His inspiration comes from a lifetime of adventure in the great outdoors. Each painting reflects a special place, a specific point in time, or an experience that left its mark on his life and soul. Some paintings are dreams or visions of places he can see in the future, places not yet part of reality, but exist in a world of anticipation.

Robin Bailey: Our Town… Fading Glimpses of the Midwest

Upstairs Gallery

October 8 – 30, 2021

Photographer Robin Bailey has been accepted on numerous occasions into PhotoSpiva and won 1st place this year. Robin talks about his upcoming exhibit; “I believe, as photographers, we search for ourselves in the images we create. In this project, I believe the idea rings true; and, I find myself in familiar territory searching out the remaining glimpses of the Midwestern towns and neighborhoods I grew up in. The images in this project depict what I believe to be the heart of the American Midwest. And though much of it has been lost, there are still remnants and relics to be found. A sense of loss permeates here within the ordinary jumble of streets, but one can also discover the last vestiges of my childhood.”
