ABERDEEN, S.D. – Northern State University is excited to announce the opening of the Midwest Nice Art exhibition, Nice; 02, now on display at the JFAC Gallery. This annual national call exhibition, presented by Midwest Nice Art and hosted by Northern State University, showcases 50 captivating works of art from artists across the country.

The exhibition is open to the public and will run until Sept. 15, 2024. We invite art enthusiasts, community members, and visitors to explore the diverse collection during two special receptions:

  • Summer Reception: July 15, 2024, from 5 to 7 p.m., held in conjunction with the AEI annual conference.
  • Closing Reception: Sept. 13, 2024, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Both receptions offer a unique opportunity to meet some of the talented artists behind the works, as well as Northern State University students who were juried into the show. Guests can enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and refreshments while mingling and appreciating the art.

“This exhibition is a testament to the vibrant artistic community we foster here at Northern State University,” said Tim Rickett, assistant professor of 3D media and gallery director at NSU's School of Fine Arts. “We are thrilled to host this event and provide a platform for artists to share their work with a wider audience.”
