Rosalux Gallery is pleased to announce its Fifth Annual OPEN-DOOR Exhibition. This is the only chance for non-member artists to showcase their work in the gallery. Typically, the Open Door exhibition is reviewed and receives extensive press coverage. This is an excellent opportunity to exhibit artwork in one of Minneapolis’s premiere commercial gallery spaces.  All media are accepted: there are no guidelines set for subject matter, medium or style, and the show is open to anyone throughout the world.*
                       
This year Colleen Sheehy, director of the Plains Art Museum, will jury the show. Sheehy worked at the Weisman 1993-2008, founding its first education department, curating exhibitions, organizing international conferences, launching its tour guide program, developing interpretation and curricula for Kindergarten through grade 12, university and community audiences. For eight years prior to that, Sheehy was the assistant museum director for touring exhibitions at the University of Minnesota Art Museum, where she curated and collaborated on exhibitions that traveled regionally and nationally.
