3D paintings you can touch at Norfolk Arts Center
The first rule of art is not to touch it. But new exhibits at the Norfolk Arts Center are rewriting that rule.
By News Channel NebraskaNORFOLK, Neb. -- The Norfolk Arts Center is holding an opening reception Thursday night for two new winter exhibits.
The art is by Anastasia Drake of Kansas City, and Sally Jergensmier from Nebraska. The paintings are made with heavy acrylic -- thus tactile so that children with autism can interact with and touch them. But coffins said it's important to have art in the community for all ages.
"I love Sally's work because it's so industrial [...] and Anastasia's work is so beautiful," Coffin said.
Program Coordinator Elley Coffin told NCN, the art feels earthy and happy.
"There's so many experiences and knowledge that comes from art," she said.
You can stop by the Norfolk Arts Center to see the pieces for free. The reception runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The exhibits will be on display through February. All the pieces of art are for sale from fifty to five hundred dollars.
