If you are in the Sioux Falls area, be sure to check out the work of Brad Widness and Ann Kronlokken Widness in the exhibition "Worlds Coming Together: Revelations Over Time" at Augustana University. The exhibition runs through October 5th, with a public reception on Friday Oct 4th from 7-9pm (with a gallery talk by Brad at 7:30pm). Many of you know Brad and Ann as devoted artists and educators who have given so much to our university community and to the regional arts community. Ann passed away in 2022, and we all feel her absence deeply. It is wonderful to see Brad and Ann's work featured together in this powerful exhibition.
