The 7th annual Arts Mineral Point (AMP) Member Show opened with an artist's reception on Friday evening (Jan 28) followed by the public opening on Saturday.
The exhibit is once again at the Masonic Lodge, 304 High St, Mineral Point and will be open next weekend, Feb 5 -6 and Saturday, Feb 12th. The exhibit features works by a couple dozen local artists in a variety of media from painting, ceramics, fibers arts and more to handmade furniture from reclaimed materials.
Ben and I each entered two pieces. Ben submitted a couple of his more abstract photos and I entered two of my mixed media collage portraits - "Sweet Dreams", a small framed work on paper, and "He was Dubious", a larger mixed media portrait mounted on a board.
The last day of the show culminates with the annual Mineral Point Ice Lantern Festival.
The 5th annual Mineral Point Ice Festival is Saturday, February 12 throughout the downtown historic district. Lanterns are created by artists, businesses, MP High School art students and fun loving townspeople. Made of Ice by Mother Nature and powered by a single candle, lanterns are judged and prizes are awarded.
A lovely -and fun - winter night in Mineral Point.
