The Le Mars Arts Center has announced a new exhibit showcasing local artist Annika Terpstra’s newest work “After School,” with the artist describing the exhibit as “engaging the idea of visually presenting a memory.” Le Mars Arts Council secretary Nancy Thoma explained more about the works on display to KLEM.
Terpstra, who is currently based out of Pella, Iowa, said in a statement that several paintings in the exhibit were derived from her college experiences in northwest Iowa, which she explained as being “shaped by carefree yet reckless, special yet forgotten, people and moments.”
Thoma says that showcasing the exhibit helps fulfill the Arts Center’s goal of bringing “all kinds of art” to the community.
An opening reception for “After School” will be held this upcoming Saturday, August 8th from 1-3pm, with the exhibit, as well another exhibit “Luminous – The Legacy of Darcy Meeker,” on display from now until September 4th.
