MINOT, N.D. (KXNET) — The Northwest Arts Center at Minot State University has some new things happening in its gallery — including two exhibitions, a reception, and a seminar series.

INT’L Paperworks 2023

The Northwest Arts Center opened the spring semester with the “INT’L Paperworks 2023” annual juried exhibition, which is on view until February 17 in the Walter Piehl Gallery.

The first Paperworks competition happened in 1969, and since has brought diverse artwork “on or of paper, traditional, and experimental” to the university’s campus.

This year, this exhibition has 29 pieces of art by artists from the United States, Canada, and Germany.

The juror is Nicole Soukup, who is the assistant curator of contemporary art and coordinator of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Perspective+

Perspective+ is an exhibition by Nebraska photographer and “Americas 2021” All Media Best of Show recipient Carlos Herrarte that is able to be viewed in the Walter Piehl Gallery until February 10.
