Calling for art for 2020 Impact exhibit

Call for art! Whoa … isn’t life weird (and a little scary)? Impact! We are now accepting art for our next exhibit Impact!. Bring us your musings, your art work, doodles, crochet work, any creative results you use to cope in these weird, weird times.

One of the projects inside the (art)Camp in a Box at the Wassenberg Art Center: Paint your own backpack 

Whether the pandemic has you down, the political climate has you steaming, or if you are passionate about social injustices or simply can’t get Joe Exotic out of your head — and don’t forget the murder hornets — bring us your art. Show us in art how 2020 has impacted you.

Artwork will be accepted Thursday, August 6, 1-9 p.m., August 7, 1-5 p.m., and Saturday, August 8, 1-5 p.m. The Impact! Exhibit will run August 13-Sept. 20.

Market at the Wass continues every Saturday morning 9 a.m. to noon. Follow around back to the market in the art park!

Pint Nights have been occurring every Thursday in the Art Park, 7-9 p.m. Each night we will be sampling some interesting brews from our region. We also have all the old favorites available too! Bring a blankie, lawn chair, easel, or cornhole games … bring the guitars, ukuleles, or kazoos. Even while we have been maintaining some distancing and wearing masks, Covid-19 cases continue to rise in Van Wert County. We will assess each week whether to gather on Thursdays. Check social media to see if “it’s on”.
