Artist Mariah Piippo brings her work to the Arts Center for August exhibit
To The Press
The Charles City Arts Center will host a new exhibit for August titled “Color and Texture,” by artist Mariah Piippo.
The event will kick off with an opening reception sponsored by The Rustic Corner on Friday, Aug. 2nd, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Piippo is largely inspired by nature, which is expressed in her work through an almost 3D geographical-like exploration of color and texture in her paintings. Her use of sand and rocks mixed with acrylic paint makes the work jump off the canvas in an almost sculptural way.
Piippo is a 2020 graduate of the University of Northern Iowa and currently works at NIACC as assistant director of the Performing Arts & Leadership Series. The exhibit will be up for the entirety of August.
The Charles City Arts Center is located across from Central Park in downtown Charles City at 301 N. Jackson. For more information: 641-228-6284 or charlescityarts@gmail.com.
