“Just 50″ Project update

In celebrating the 50th year of the Northfield Arts Guild, local businesses have been invited to participate in the “Just 50″ project, featuring fifty unique works of art on canvas completed by fifty local artists.

On Thursday, October 22, the NAG hosted a reception for local business representatives (see the photo gallery above, with photos by Bart DeMalignon) who were invited to choose one of fifty canvases for display in their office or business. Each 12″ x 12″ canvas is unique and includes the name of the artist and a table easel suitable for counter-top display or wall-mounting. The artworks will be on loan at no cost to the business for six weeks. The canvases will return to the Arts Guild to be displayed for Winter Walk on December 3, and then will move to Carleton College to be exhibited at the Beaux Arts Ball on December 19. The canvases will be offered for sale at a silent auction in March 2010, with proceeds benefiting the NAG.

The Northfield Arts Guild Visual Arts Committee developed this project to showcase talented artists who live in the Northfield community and have benefited from the services of the Northfield Arts Guild.
