Regional Masters of Watercolor:
Highlights from the Collection
March 21 - April 30, 2000
Members
of the Lake Superior Watercolor Society, in collaboration with museum staff,
selected the works seen in the Lecture and Balcony Galleries from among
hundreds of 
watercolor paintings in the permanent collection
of the Tweed Museum of Art. The exhibition presents outstanding examples
of watercolor painting by artists from the region, or who have worked in
the region. Many of these artists have been or are mentors to the area's
present generation of watercolor painters. (left: Harold Gregor (b.

Known as Community Curators Projects, smaller
exhibitions and installations like this will be seen throughout the museum
during its 50th Anniversary in the Year 2000. These projects allow community
members the ability to access the museum's collections, and to respond to
them by selecting certain items for display, usually in conjunction with
other planned exhibitions. For example, Robert Repinski's 
Community Curator's Project, on view through April 2nd, 2000 uses a group of collection objects
to respond to the notion of seriality and repeated imagery found in prints
in the Works on Paper, Part II exhibition. (left: Charles

Regional Masters of Watercolor coincides with an exhibition
of work by members of the Lake Superior Watercolor Society at the Duluth
Art Institute March 21 through May 7, 2000.
