The SoulardFine Arts Building is celebrating 25 years of housing a community of 17 different visual artists in its walls. The occasion will be commemorated with an exhibit at the Regional Arts Commission about the building itself. Over 15 artists’ works will be shown as part of the exhibition.
The owner of the building , Robert Michelmann, as well as a photographer and exhibit curator, Anne Murphy, joined “Cityscape” host Steve Potter on Friday to discuss the anniversary as well as what the exhibit holds in store for visitors.
"I think it was very unusual [25 years ago], and that is one of the things that really impressed me about Robert," said Murphy. "The way he envisioned this as a working space for artists and also a place to build communities for artists."
