It’s a timely exhibit…just in time for Heartland Days and lots of class reunions and it coincides with the retirement of David Prehm, longtime NHHS Art teacher. The exhibit is “timely” in another way as well…it includes art work by NHHS graduates from different time periods. The earliest graduate represented was from the class of 1934 and the most recent from the class of 2013. On display through the end of July at the Carnegie Cultural Center, “Art of the Alumni” is as varied as the artists who created the paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, photographs and fiber arts featured in the expo.
Artists represented in the display are (in alphabetical order): Timothy Amundson, Abigail Bartz, Jim Bartz, Erika (Andersen) Billerbeck, Cassandra Bormann, Mindy (Haeflinger) Buckley, Cinda Dixon, Mitch Erlandson, James Fliger, Roger Fliger, Colleen (Burrichter) Fowle, Jessica Frantzen, Salina (Stapleton) Gavin, Katie (Trewin) Gonzales, James Gossling, Dalton Hackman, Tina (Roethler) Henderson, Julie (Strom) Hendrickson, Sherry (Stiefel) Holland, Natasha Hovey, Amy (Gaffney) Ingalls, Emily Kobliska, Emily Larson, Jeff Palmersheim, Ana Catalina Martinez, Kevin Ovel, Rick Patrie, Baylee Riley, Bill Riley, Katy (Kleinfehn) Riley, Eloise Roberson, Claire Roesler, Becky (Brummond) Schoenfeld, April (Larson) Singewald, Monica Steffen, Lee Stiefel, Richard Trewin, Sharon (Rochford) Trewin, and Marc Vorwald. A bio plus high school graduation photo accompanies each artist’s work, so the exhibit might also be a good way to get updated on some classmates.
An open house reception for the artists, friends, family and the general public will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 11 am to 2 pm at which Dave Prehm will be the guest of honor. Refreshments will be served and everyone is invited to attend.
Admission is free. For more information, contact us.
