Main Gallery Exhibition: "Self-Portraiture: Reflections of the Self"
Regional Juried Exhibition | 18 Artists | 27 Works
September 28 – December 15, 2026
Lake Region Arts Council Main Gallery | Fergus Falls, MN
The Lake Region Arts Council invites you to experience “Self-Portraiture: Reflections of the Self,” a regional juried exhibition exploring the many ways artists see, interpret, and express themselves.
A self-portrait can be much more than a recognizable likeness. It can be intimate, symbolic, playful, conceptual, realistic, surreal, or completely imagined. Through painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, and more, 18 regional artists explore identity, memory, emotion, personal experience, place, and the stories that shape who we are.
✨ Who am I?
✨ How do I wish to be seen?
✨ What stories, emotions, or symbols shape my identity?
✨ What lies beneath the surface of a portrait?
The exhibition features 27 works by 18 artists from communities throughout west central Minnesota:
Trudy Pendergast • Jennifer Aranda • Joan Jarvis • Kary Janousek • Jodi Peterson • Rebecca Krueger • Thom Tammaro • Valerie Hanson • Pamela Magnuson • Sharon Scapple • Emma Strommen • Amy Schmidt • Anna Fremont • Les Skoropat • Kaylyn Ness • Felicia Curley • Maren Kostrzewski • Eric Santwire
Join Us for the Opening Reception & Artists Talk!
The LRAC is excited to celebrate this exhibition with a joint opening reception featuring Dar Eckert’s solo ceramic exhibition in the LRAC Office Gallery.
Tuesday, October 20, 2026
5:00–6:30 PM
Artists Talk: 5:30 PM

Gallery Hours:
Monday–Thursday | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
Closed Friday–Sunday
We hope you’ll join us and discover the many ways artists answer the question:
What does it mean to see—and be seen—as ourselves?
