Winkler Gallery announces upcoming events

DUBOIS — The Winkler Gallery in DuBois has announced a slate of upcoming events as spring turns into summer.

May 7 will be the Congressional Art Show for the district. The hours will be 2 to 4 p.m. The winner from this district will have their artwork hang in the U.S. Capitol. This is a national competition, giving students an opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional art gallery. Most congressional districts in the nation judge the artwork by either laying the entries on tables or the floor during the judging process. The Winkler Gallery hangs them artfully, and a special group does the judging. On May 7, there is a reception for all the families, students and the public to see the artwork.

May 21 will feature a class on bonsai creation taught by Master Gardener Kevin Straub. The class cost and registration will be published online at www. winklergallery.org.

On June 17 and 18, there will be mystery afoot in the gallery. Attendees are invited to bring their sleuthing abilities. Information will be posted on the website and the gallery’s Facebook page. There are two nights to choose from. “Mystery Is a Fine Art” will be in conjunction with the Reitz Theater and will take place at the Winkler Gallery.

In July, the gallery will hold a Children’s Art Camp, featuring two weeks of art fun for children. Children’s Art Camp will be the last 2 weeks of July. The cost and information will be published online soon.

There will be more information and details of all the events and happenings at the Winkler Gallery and Art Education Center website, www.winklergallery.org
