The Artesian Alliance Art Show opens this week at Thronateeska Heritage Center. The exhibit features the creative work of staff members from Artesian Alliance organizations Chehaw Park & Zoo, Flint RiverQuarium, and Thronateeska. Works range from painting to photography to blown glass to plant art. A members-only Artesian Alliance reception kicks off the opening Thursday, June 10, from 5-7 pm. Beginning Friday, June 11, the show will be free and open to the public during regular operating hours Thursday-Saturday 10 am-4 pm. Visitors should check in at the Science Museum before visiting the art show, which is housed in the south gallery of the History Museum in the historic train depot.

“We are delighted to be able to showcase this wide range of talented work,” said Todd Deariso, Director of Thronateeska. “We invite everyone to come out and take a look at what some of our talented staff create when they are not hard at work for the Artesian Alliance.”
