Gallery Night at the Freight House

It was fun to get out last evening and enjoy Gallery Night at the C.B.&Q. Freight House in Chariton, an annual event (suspended last year because of COVID-19) sponsored by the Lucas County Arts Council and featuring local artists.

I went early, there already was a good crowd in the room when I arrived and guests still were coming in steadily when I left about an hour later, so the numbers were good.

Enjoyed visiting with Paula Coffey (at left in both these photographs) whose works in clay I admire.

I had a notion to swipe for the museum, where we need one, one of the plinths used to display sculpted pieces but Nash was standing too close and so I couldn't pull it off.

Susan Baer (at left in the following photograph) was on hand, too, with three works.

Including this one.

Here are other works by various artists that were on exhibit --- many of whom I know but some not so much so I'm a little vague about a few. Nor did I photograph everyone's work. Here are pieces by Chery Woolsey ...

... Marilyn Marsh ...

... Meg Prange ...

... T. Shearer ...

... Terry Cox ...

... Nash Cox ...

... Steve Scott ...

... and Dale O'Connell.

And the food, served up here by Kathleen Dittmer (left) and Linda Baines, was a work of art, too.
