On Jan. 13 from 6 to 10 p.m., ArtOrg?s Moving Walls Gallery will host a closing party for the exhibition ?John Berkey Observed,? which was extended for an additional month due to demand. The show was one of the most financially successful in Minnesota during 2005, with proceeds benefitting ArtOrg?s nonprofit activities. ArtOrg will display custom made giclee prints of Berkey?s work and will offer discounts on orders placed during the evening.
In addition, ArtOrg will initiate an extraordinary Berkey-approved eBay auction of one of his original 1977 conceptual art pieces for the movie ?Star Wars? on Jan. 3?timed to close during the Jan. 13 evening festivities at which Berkey and his wife, St. Olaf College Class of 1956 member Damaris Wahl Berkey, plan to be in attendance. ArtOrg?s Moving Walls Gallery is accessible from the back parking lot at 200 Division St. S. For more information, call (507) 645-2555.
