RICHARD WELD & KATHY SEITZ
Dick Weld creates non-objective assemblages, collages, sculptures, reliefs and constructions which are based on geometric shapes and theorems. Many of his pieces are white-on-white which emphasizes the effects of light and shadow on their surfaces. Seitz’s body of work pays tribute to her mother by utilizing appropriated materials left to her by her mother after she passed away.

CONFLUENCE OF ART BIENNIAL
Juried Show
The Confluence of Art Biennial started out as a small idea many years ago. But as with many of these ideas, it was mulled over as something that was “too big” of an undertaking for the Art Gallery to do. Or it wasn’t for us. Or there already is a juried show in Eau Claire, so why another? However, the idea for the Biennial was always there, slowly simmering on our back burner. It was not until this year that the idea of a juried show was once again promoted as something that could and, really, should happen in the Art Gallery, if it was to be considered a center point for the visual arts in the Chippewa Valley. And here we have it, the Confluence of Art Biennial. The opening reception and awards ceremony will be Saturday, August 23rd, from 6 to 8 pm.
