Artists who are exhibiting in "Ever Present" include Wendell Arneson, Gwen Daniels, Irve Dell, Steve Edwins, Jil Evans, Jill Ewald, Ron Gallas, Mary Griep, Christie Hawkins, Pat Kelley, Meg Ojala, Dave Ryan and John Saurer. Art shown at the exhibit ranges from paintings and sculpture to web design, video and architecture.

"The breadth and depth of the work in 'Ever Present' rivals the best contemporary art one finds anywhere in the country," says Ewald, who is director of the Flaten Art Museum at St. Olaf. "Visit galleries in the Twin Cities or Chicago or New York and find nothing more investigative, probing and engaging."

A brochure about the artists and their work is available in the gallery, as is an accompanying essay by art writer and critic Mason Riddle.
