Toledo family featured in new PC art exhibit

PORT CLINTON — The Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council recently announced its upcoming June exhibit at The Arts Garage, featuring the work of a Toledo family — Dani, Jose, and Dahlia Herrera — in a show entitled "Tres Herreras." "The Herreras' work is eclectic and creative in its use of found materials, including sometimes candy wrappers, dryer lint or pet hair, which are used to fashion portraits of recognizable celebrities or other interesting subjects," according to a council statement. "No painting or drawing: just manipulation of varied, disparate materials into exquisite and exciting designs." • Dani Herrera likes to say, "One man's junk is another man's treasure," and "her work proves that point," the statement read. • Jose is a sculptor, creating a wide variety of interesting characters. • Dahlia is a young artist with her own talents. From 6-8 p.m. on Friday, June 6 at The Arts Garage, 317 W. Perry St., Port Clinton, there will be an artist reception, which is free and open to the public. Guests can enjoy refreshments while meeting the artists and hearing about their process. This exhibit, meanwhile, runs from June 5-29. The Arts Garage is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. In addition, The Arts Garage offers classes for children and adults. Children who live in Ottawa County may take children's classes at no cost but must be accompanied by an adult. Interested persons may register at gpcaac.org.
