Young artists featured in Art Blast 2008

More than three dozen artworks by Casper artists between the ages of 15-21 are now on display as part of Art Blast 2008, a month-long art exhibit/contest at the Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper.

The 39 accepted pieces, which range from drawings to sculptures, will be on display in the Rosenthal Gallery for the entire month of March and the winners will be announced March 28 at Rock the Nic, an evening of art and music. The works will be juried by members of the NIC staff and a panel of young artists. The top three artists will have a future opportunity to participate in a group exhibition in the Rosenthal Gallery as well as win a free museum membership.
