Presented by Art's House Gallery at Art's House River Falls, WI
Imprints - 2026 Autumn Featured Artists CAB Art’s House Gallery We are pleased to welcome the work of three new featured artists to Art’s House Gallery this autumn. The soft pastel work of Lorie Spiegel, photographic portraits of Miguel Joven, and the functional ceramics of Katie Reeves all seem to echo the transitory qualities that permeate the air this time of year in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Each artist renders their varied media with tender, contemplative care resulting in imagery that feels as if it may just slip away with the season. Hurry in to Art’s House Gallery before it’s gone! Imprints will be on view September 24 through October 23. Our “Meet the Artists” reception will be held on Thursday, October 1 from 6:00–8:00 PM.
