Mark, who now lives in Edina, MN, is a graduate of Bethany College and has painted and photographed natural landscapes for 29 years. He paints using watercolor and oil, and uses a large format vintage camera for his photography work. The public is invited to a reception for Mark Fuzzey on Saturday, January 13th, from 7 to 9pm at the Red Barn Studio on South Main Street in Lindsborg.
The Sandzen Gallery will host a reception for Manhattan painter Ralph Fontenot, this Sunday, January 14th, from 2 to 4pm. Fontenot is known for his beautiful watercolor paintings of landscapes, with an emphasis on central and northeast Kansas. His paintings will remain on display at the Sandzen Gallery through February 25th.
Lindsborg Live! will present a a program of historical interest at 7pm on January 18th at the Rosberg House Convention Center. The program is about the settlement and history of the African-American community of Nicodemus, Kansas and is free and open the public.
Sherida Williams, National Historic Site superintendent will present a history of the earliest and only surviving community settled by African-Americans. The story of how life in Kansas was used to entice southern americans to move west to escape oppression should make for an interesting presentation. A reception follows the event.
