Tonight (Thursday, Feb. 6) from 5-8 p.m. is the opening of the annual Duluth Art Institute Member Show. It’s a great way to see and meet people from around town who make all kids of art. From painting, to sculpture, to photography, to mixed media, there’s a wide variety of mediums and experience on display until March 1 in the Great Hall of the Depot.

A majority of the more than 140 pieces on display are for sale and prices are noted on the label. There will be a vote for People’s Choice Award. Make sure to have your ballot submitted by 6 p.m. to get it counted. The first 50 people to submit a fully completed ballot/survey will receive a free DAI tote bag. If you are a DAI Member, you can pick up a free DAI tote during the Annual Member Show or from the DAI business office (Tuesday to Thursday call for availability, Friday 9-3).

Duluth Grill will be catering with a cash bar available.

The member show takes over the Great Hall, but all three regular DAI Gallery spaces are also celebrating new work tonight.
