Stained glass pieces by Christina Norlin light up the lobby, pottery by Suzanne Botello dots the staircase and acrylic works on canvas by Mishael Magarian line the hallway of a new art gallery hosted in the High Country Conference Center.<\/p>\n

The program, a collaboration among Northern Arizona University, the city of Flagstaff and Sodexo Conferencing, developed from NAU\u2019s vision to showcase Flagstaff\u2019s vibrant artistic community at the conference center.<\/p>\n

The artists on display were chosen based on their experience and the sustainability of their artwork. They are part of a pilot program on exhibit until the gallery\u2019s Grand Opening reception during the July 2 First Friday Artwalk.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far we are getting excellent feedback from the community and conference guests,\u201d said\u00a0Andrea Graves<\/strong>, program coordinator at the conference center. \u201cPeople are thrilled to see that community members are shown here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Art Gallery Committee, composed of NAU administrators, Flagstaff Beautification and Public Art Committee members and staff from the conference center, will distribute the first public call to artists mid-April. Submissions will be reviewed by a jury of Public Art Commission members.<\/p>\n

Three to six local artists will be selected every six months to showcase their art in the redesigned space set against a view of the San Francisco Peaks through windows lining the gallery area.<\/p>\n

The gallery is suited to accommodate both two-dimensional framed pieces (including stained glass) and three-dimensional pieces such as pottery, sculpture and jewelry in pedestal cases.<\/p>\n

Conference center guests and Flagstaff residents are encouraged to wander about the naturally lit gallery and among the rotating art works.<\/p>\n

The gallery is free and open based on hours of operation and scheduled events. For artists inquires, contact Andrea Graves at (928)-523-1363 or\u00a0andrea.graves@nau.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
