Art is at the heart of Art Perchance. And there would be no art without our talented and generous artists and the galleries who promote artists by donating their art. Most participating artists are from the metro area; others are from greater Minnesota, and a few may be from here, there, and everywhere. The art comes ready to hang (or wear) and is created in a variety of mediums including oil, works on paper, sculpture, jewelry, and wood. |
