This week, Watermark celebrates its fifth anniversary in this fine arts facility at 505 Bemidji Avenue North, a dream that started with an enthusiastic group of lovers of the arts in 1967. Fifty-five years later, the center is a focal point for the arts, serving not just the Bemidji area, but the nine counties and three tribal nations that surround it and the many visitors to the area from across the state and beyond.
Silk and Batik artist Mary Therese invites interested artists to submit umbrella designs reflecting the theme of “Unity” as part of a juried exhibition at Watermark Art Center that will open on Aug. 19 in the Kaul Gallery at Watermark.
