The Many Art Galleries of Ames

2/11/2018

A blog series by Arts Council Intern Xavier Gaumer
The Ames Community Arts Council has many types of members, from individual artists to non-profit organizations of all types.  At a recent meeting, we were discussing how many art galleries are members of the Arts Council.  It gave us an idea. 

I'm excited to be going to eight different galleries, and taking a look at the art and distinct character of each. When we can, I'll talk to the curators that create the vision for these unique spaces, and the artists that they feature.


Over the next two months, we will highlight the Memorial Union galleries, the University Museums, Design On Main, the Gallery in the Round, Ames Historical Society, Creative Artists' Studio's of Ames, The Octagon Center for the Arts, and finally, Reiman Gardens.  

All of these galleries have different feels, different art, different impacts on our community - and I look forward to exploring them all with you. We will kick off the series with a visit to The Memorial Union Galleries. Stay tuned! 

The three images above can currently be found  in the Memorial Union.
