NCI ARTworks in Peru, Illinois, is hosting an opening reception for the Ottawa Art League group on April 12, 2024, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in the historic Westclox building in Peru. The reception is free, and the public is welcome to attend. The Ottawa Art League (OAL) is a not-for-profit organization that offers artists the opportunity to share their skills and experiences in all forms of art with people of similar interests in the Illinois Valley. The OAL meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM at the Open Space Gallery on Madison Street in downtown Ottawa. The OAL offers programs that encourage artists to enhance their art skills. Membership is not necessary to attend meetings. This year’s group show at the NCI ARTworks Gallery includes new, exciting artists as well as traditional local favorites.
The work of numerous local artists will be on exhibit and available for purchase at the NCI ARTworks Gallery beginning Friday, April 12th, and running through the first week of May. Ranging from watercolorists and fabric artists to metal, glass, and ceramic sculptors, the work of Ottawa Art League artists from LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam Counties will be showcased at the gallery and available for purchase on the night of the opening reception and throughout the month. For a complete list and biography of the artists whose works will be on exhibit, visit www.nciartworks.com. This is a unique opportunity to view so many talented artists—many of whom are award-winners—in the same gallery at the same time exhibiting their work.
