Wassenberg breaks show entry record

We have broken yet another record! We received 208 entries in our 28th annual Artist Members’ Exhibit and Sale! Wow. That is 56 more pieces than last year and that is 50 more items you can shop from! Thank you to all the area artists who contributed. It’s going to be a great show and sale.

On November 18 we will launch the 28th annual Wassenberg Artist Members’ Exhibit and Sale, just in time for the holiday season, with an opening party. We will be handing out cash awards to the artists.

We offer free appetizers and cash bar. Our entertainment for the evening is The Changing Elements Band from Bryan, a chill group with a hint of tribal backing. Call the art center or check out our website for more information. All our openings are free and the public is always encouraged to attend.

This sale will be on view through December 17. Our hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 1-5 p.m. and we are open 1-9 p.m. on Thursdays for your convenience.
