LAST PIECES ON SALE NOW! - ART MEDLEY EXHIBITION at Bremer Bank
A very inventive triangular display designed by Mark Buley and housing 96 pieces of art is currently on display at Bremer Bank in Frederic. The "Art Medley" exhibit which contains work by over 75 local area artists will run through August 20th.
Each 6" x 6" framed work is for sale for $20 --- but which one you get will be determined when the number you sign up for is matched with the artwork's pre-assigned number. Works were generously donated to Frederic Arts and includes pieces by established artists as well as anyone who wanted to support arts programming. According to Win Herberg, most have been sold, leaving only a few pieces left for purchase. The public is invited to visit the exhibition and purchase a piece (maybe more?) in the lobby of Bremer Bank during regular business hours by contacting any available teller. Sale ends on Friday, August 20th 3 PM.

 A Temporary New Home!
The Frederic Village Board and the Board of Frederic Arts have signed an agreement that allows Frederic Arts to occupy the former American Legion building at 310 Lake Street South for Arts programming, events and meeting space. 
“This is a very supportive offer by the Village,” said Jack Route representing Frederic Arts. “While we hope to eventually have a different location, it will definitely help us to have a space to call home as we strive to carry out our mission. We also would like to make note of the generosity of Post 249. Their decision to let the property revert back to the village allowed it to become available to us.”
Frederic Arts will “lease” the building for one year in exchange for general property maintenance and upkeep, and pay for their own utility expenses. The mission of Frederic Arts, Inc. is to: “cultivate artistic opportunities for people of all ages and to enhance and preserve the cultural fabric of our community”.
