| Hancock - February 22, 2009 Thursday
evening the Finlandia University's
International School of Art and Design held
an opening reception to mark the opening of
the faculty exhibit at the Finlandia
University Gallery.
The must see exhibit is located in the
Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock
and will runfrom last Thursday through March
20, 2009.
As our readers are well aware
IronwoodInfo has been bringing you coverage
from Finlandia since last years Fusionfest.
We visited Finlandia for the first time to
at that time to see the art work of the
University's very talented students. Since
then, we have provided coverage of
exhibits of many, many talented
artists. Many of these artist were students
enrolled in the school's International
School of Art and Design. We have never been
disappointed that we made the trip to
Hancock. But, last Thursday's exhibit was
the greatest yet. Viewing the work displayed
for this exhibit it is no wonder why the
School's students are developing into
terrific artists. Their professors and
instructors are fantastic! If you enjoy
great art and don't wish to travel hundreds
of miles to view it, then you owe it to
yourself to visit this current exhibit.
As a bonus, you can also go to the Portage
Campus and see the current student exhibit
at the Reflections Gallery.
