EVANSVILLE — Evansville Art Center’s June gallery exhibit is an eye-catching display of models built by Craig Torgerson and metal sculpture created by DeWayne Johnson.
Torgerson, known as an entertainer who has performed at venues all around the area, is also a proficient and award winning model builder. In his most recent entry into a model magazine contest, he built a Silverado Stretch Limo that received an “honorable mention” and had a photo of his model in Car Modeler’s Magazine.
Johnson is a sculptor from Garfield, whose medium is scrap steel. His interest in working with metals began in 2001 when he saw standing sculptures of flowers at a garden store. He decided to try and create a variation on the theme and this began a years-long hobby of creating in metal. His current exhibit features sculptures pf various stringed instruments a well as abstract sculptures.
This exhibit runs through June 29 and is one the whole family will enjoy viewing and talking about. Gallery hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no admission charge.
Evansville Art Center is located at 111 Main St. in Evansville and is air conditioned and handicap accessible.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund and in part through a Minnesota State Legislative general fund appropriation.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
