Ranier art works wanted for display

Artists and collectors are invited to loan art works related to Ranier for display during the Ranier Centennial Festival on Aug. 16.
The works will be shown in the Ranier Community Building along with historical displays.
“For decades Ranier has been the inspiration for countless paintings, drawings, photos and art objects. The Centennial committee thought this would be a great opportunity for people to share some of those works with villagers and visitors,” said exhibit organizer Doug Skrief.
Included in the exhibit will be some works created in July by Ontario artists while they were looking from Pither’s Point in Fort Frances toward the Ranier skyline.
Those interested in loaning artworks related to Ranier should contact Skrief in Ranier at 286-3110; or Pam Hawley in Fort Frances: 807-278-7891. Works should be ready to hang or display and may be dropped off at the Ranier City Office during working hours.
Deadline for submission is by noon on Aug. 15.
