Glass from the American Swedish Institute — opens Sept. 14
Augsburg College celebrates the new Gage Family Art Gallery, in the recently opened Oren Gateway Center, with the exhibit “Glass from the American Swedish Institute and Its Local Influence.”
The exhibit features more than 30 pieces of glass, on loan from the American Swedish Institute, including both traditional and contemporary artworks from leading designers as well as local glassmakers.
The exhibit opens Thursday, Sept. 14 and runs through Oct. 26. An artist talk featuring Andrea C. Blum and Warren K. Olson, co-curators of Augsburg’s Swedish glass exhibition, will take place Friday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.
The artist talk coincides with the College Art Gallery Collaborative’s 4th annual Fall Art Tour, a seven-college tour of local galleries, 5–8 p.m. A free shuttle bus will travel between Augsburg and six other local campuses. For more information, visit http://www.stkate.edu/fallarttour.
