Southeast Iowa Invitational Exhibit at ICON
ICON Gallery is mounting a group exhibition of regional artists in April and May. The
Southeast Iowa Invitational features significant artists from communities surrounding
Fairfield. The show runs from April 6 through May 19.
The show is a delightfully diverse collection of work by the top educators, curators
and arts organizers in the region.
“These are artists that I have wanted to show at ICON for a long time, but I kept
waiting for the right moment,” says ICON Director Bill Teeple. “ Well, this is that
moment. I’ve shown many artists from Fairfield, Des Moines, Iowa City and Cedar
Rapids, but I have not focused on the great creative talent in towns close to us. I’m
making up for that with this exhibit. Enjoy the excellent work produced by our
neighboring artists.”
Artists included in the show are Brad Covington, director of Anomaly Gallery in
Ottumwa; Matt and Sarah Kargol, directors of the Oskaloosa Art Center;
Ann Klingensmith, professor of art at Iowa Wesleyan University in Mt. Pleasant;
Mark McWhorter, Art Department head at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa;
and Mike Rutherford of Packwood, creator of the blog, paintersbread.com.
