A new gallery space – sponsored and maintained by the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council (NWMAC) has opened at the Northland Community & Technical College (Thief River Falls, MN) campus. The first exhibition features the work of artist and teacher Christine Foster. The theme of the exhibition is related to abuse, in particular abuse of women, as they express their feelings of containment and freedom through art and the written word. Foster interprets those emotions and creates paintings to reflect what she has been told by these women.
