January 28 – February 4, 2018
The Museum held its first This Week Only show in 2018. Imagine a panoply of art from the Red River Valley and surrounding Plains; walls covered with works springing from our own place to brighten up our lives in the dead of winter.
People poured in and lingered over the 106 paintings, sculptures, photographs, works on paper, and multi-media everything. Once discovered, two artists ended up in the Museum’s Autumn Art Auction. The Museum’s Director made the first buy, a small beaded sculpture, the feminine version of a Bali bird trophy (side). That 2017 non-curated exhibition was the first ever mounted by the North Dakota Museum of Art. The Museum is ready to do it again.
