The first exhibit to open in the new Gage Family Art Gallery, located in the Oren Gateway Center, will be “Glass from the American Swedish Institute and Its Local Influence.”

The exhibit opens Sept. 14 and runs through Oct. 26.  An Artist Reception and College Art Gallery Collaborate Fall Art Tour will be held Oct. 5, from 5 - 8 p.m. with an Artist Gallery Talk at 7 p.m.

This exhibit will feature more than 25 exquisite examples of Swedish glass on loan from the American Swedish Institute.  For almost a century, Swedish glass has been revered for its stylish, cutting edge design. This exhibit includes both traditional and contemporary artworks, ranging from classical works by top designers to recent pieces by talented glass designers living in the Twin Cities.
