The NNAC opening reception is always a remarkable evening in celebration of the artists whose work has been chosen for the exhibition, and the public is invited to experience that work. Everyone is invited to take a leisurely stroll to savor the exhibition and then join Lenny as he shares his remarks on the curation of this prestigious national show.

*Tickets are $20 and include heavy appetizers, refreshments, entry to the opening reception, and thoughtful commentary by the judge. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available through Lisa Sage at Nicolet College, Childs Frame Co. in Rhinelander, and from members of the Northern Arts Council. Call Lisa at 715.365.4533 for more information. The call for artists/registration for the 36th NNAC will open in CaFÉ on January 9.
