The Packard Group National Exhibition 2023, hosted by the Packard Group, LLC, brings together over 60 versatile artists from across the United States. Photographers, painters, fiber artists, printmakers, and many other artists will display professional prints of their original artwork at No. 7 Center Gallery in Vermillion, South Dakota. All of the artwork will be printed as 8x8” squares, which will be wheat-pasted to the north exterior wall of the gallery, facing City Hall. The opening reception will be Final Friday, August 25th from 5-7 pm at 7 Center Street, Vermillion, SD. The public installation will be on display through September 22nd. This is an ephemeral art installation, which means that it is temporary and will be exposed to the brutal South Dakota sun, wind, and rain. The prints will degrade over time, and the entire exhibition will be destroyed after the exhibition ends.

Cohen, Alan Kaminsky, Alex Mohr, Amy Thompson, Angie Holycross, Becky Roberts, Bill Stamats, Caitlin Lang, Carl Yonder, Carlos Lorenzana, Carol Cook Geu, Cheryl Anne Grace, Chris Oleary, Clare Mears Stefanini, Clark Grinde, David Acevedo, Denise Stewart-Sanabria, Donna Milligan, Francine Fox, Hector Curriel, James L Foster, Jay Goldberg, Jo Garrison, JoAnn Telemdschinow, Jone Rush MacCulloch, Julie Dent, Jym Davis, Kaylie Nelson, Ken Ramirez, Kris Hodson Moore, L.

This exhibit will include an abundant variety of artwork for everyone to enjoy. Lockheart stated, “It’s an honor to bring together such a variety of passionate artists together for the Packard Group National Exhibition 2023. I am delighted to welcome back artists who have displayed their work with us in previous exhibitions, and I’m happy to include brand new artists!”
