Annual Member Exhibition. An all media open juried exhibit featuring the work of our members. Our members are the strength of what makes the Herrig Center for the Arts, without which we would not exist. With that strength, comes a powerhouse of talent as each year the caliber of work continues to surpass our expectations.
Emergence: In Solitude & Passage featuring Natasha Dikareva. Explores the evolution that arise from quiet contemplation and movement through life’s transitions. Drawing from stories of her motherland Ukraine, she creates sculptures as symbols of resilience and enduring spirit – mythical creatures that carry a people’s dreams of renewal and transformation.
This work celebrates the transformative power found in quietude and passage. Through my art, she highlights resilience and beauty emerging within turmoil. Each fantastical creature becomes a vessel for human longing – hopes given form, defiant acts of creation rising from destruction. Her ceramic guardians stand watch, holding space for healing and bearing witness to unbreakable spirit that refuses to surrender its dreams.
Herrig Center for the ARTS Holiday Extravaganza. Herrig Center is proud to present the 2025 Holiday Extravaganza, featuring holiday trees decked to their fullest with thousands of handmade ornaments, handmade holiday décor, gifts and more.
Visitors are encouraged to plan their visit and experience both the extraordinary artwork and the newly transformed Herrig Center for the Arts.
