Greetings From... An Exhibition of Postcard-Size Artwork
Opening Reception and Sale
Friday, August 6 from 6-8 p.m.
 So, here is how it will work: Each piece of postcard-size art is available for purchase for $30.
Everyone is invited to preview the exhibition from 6-6:30 p.m. Members of the Ludington Area Arts Council will have first pick of a postcard purchase from 6:30-7 p.m.. The public can then make their purchases from 7-8 p.m.
"We wanted to challenge area artists to
work within a postcard size,"  explained Rebecca Mott who chairs the visual arts
committee at the Center.
Area artists met the challenge using watercolors, drawings, mixed media,
fiber and even metal. At $30,
these 4 x 6 original artworks make a great and easy-to-pack souvenir or gift for visitors to
take home."The show features 85 postcard-size from 22 artists from the Ludington area. In addition to watercolors and drawings, Greetings
From... includes
original work in mixed media, fiber, and even metal.
 Each artist has brought their own personal flair to the show,
creating a diverse collection of pint-sized works of art. One of the artists, Ruth B. Dimmitt, created mixed media postcards that encompass a 3-D element and
leap out of the paper. Her piece, "Volcano," stays true to its name by showing
viewers a minimalist view of one of earth's natural destroyers.
