Artist Reception for Nick Ng

The Museum hosted a reception for Nick Ng.  It was very well attended with over 130 people enjoying the evening.  Some of the younger visitor weren’t that interested in looking at the art, but they did enjoy making their own art.

January Brown Bag

Artist Nick Ng was the featured speaker at January’s Brown Bag.  Ng will have a one man show at the museum opening January 15 and running through mid-March. 

Tuesday he spoke about how he created his art, which is politcaly pointed collage.  Nick’s background is varied and included drama, art, accounting, and economics.  His cultural heritage is also a mixed bag including Chinese and French and being raised in Great Britain.  All of these pieces combine to make art that is light and fun when you first look at it, but on second look contains biting social commentary.

Nick’s show opens Tuesday, January 15.  There will be an artists reception Thursday, January 17 from 6-8 pm in the Lower Level gallery of the museum, 414 Main Street
