Spread across many mediums, styles and processes, members of the Aho family have created artwork for generations.
Now that work will be on display at the New York Mills Cultural Center from Wednesday, Aug. 4 through Saturday, Sept. 4, with an artist reception on Saturday, Aug. 7 from 1-3 p.m.
The exhibit is called “Nelja Generations"; the word "nelja," which means "four" in Finnish, reflects the family's Finnish heritage.
Artwork on display in the gallery features the work of artists Esther Aho, Shirlee Aho Daulton, Genevive Aho Keranen, Kim Smith, Sandra Daulton Shaughnessy, Katrine Karanen Savoie, Jody Hagenson and Kelly Hagenson. The artwork created by the family members includes weaving, painting, paper making, ceramics, alcohol inks and more.
Everyone is invited to meet the artists. The reception will include light refreshments and is free to attend.
