St. Anthony Park artist Tara Sweeney’s show “Close to Home: A Visual Journal” is on display at the Gage Family Art Gallery, Augsburg College, in the first floor of Oren Gateway Center at the intersection of 22nd Avenue S. and Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis. She describes the show as “an almanac of observations in watercolor and ink paired with original text [that] explores the extraordinary in the ordinary.” A reception for the show will be held Friday, Sept. 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sweeney will give an artist talk and demonstration in the Adeline Johnson Conference Center adjacent to the gallery on Tuesday, Sept. 9, from noon to 2 p.m.
