To celebrate the current community exhibition, "Limited Time Only: REgional Artist Showcase," the Museum will host an All-Day Open House on Thursday, February 12 from 9 am to 5 pm on Giving Hearts Day. Join us for snacks and refreshments throughout the day with four informal guided tours held at 10 am, noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm, along with pop-up art activities and scavenger hunts for all ages. This is also a great time to pick out your favorite artwork and cast your vote for the People’s Choice award. Everyone is welcome to this free event. Pay as you go parking is available in the Museum lot and parking is free after 4 pm. For those also participating in Giving Hearts Day, donors of any size will receive 25% off in the Museum Gift Shop and donors giving $100 and above will receive a free lunch entrée in the Café. And, as always, everyone receives $1 off drinks in the Café from 3 – 5 pm for Happy Hour.

About the Exhibition: This is a celebration of the artists from our region. Each year the exhibition features dozens of paintings, sculptures, photographs, crafts, works on paper, and textiles from local artists and beyond. The exhibition has become one of the Museum’s most popular with hundreds of friends, family and community visiting the galleries to discover unexpected treasures. New this Year: There will be two prizes awarded: the NDMOA Award selected by Museum Staff, and a People’s Choice Award. For the latter award, all visitors will be asked to vote on a favorite piece in the exhibition. Winners for both awards will be announced through our social media platforms after the exhibition closes and an award certificate will be issued with the prizes.
