March brings a new line up of artists on display at the Coliseum Museum of Art, Antiques & Americana in downtown Oregon, IL, with exhibits by Stephen Hart of Dixon and David Van Delinder of Cherry Valley.

Stephen Hart is the Feature Artist for March, with his display of digital photography of local and regional scenes with an emphasis on the Nachusa Grasslands. Starting out at the young age of 13 his hobby has been evolving since the film days to today’s modern cameras that offer so many features.

David Van Delinder, of Cherry Vallery, has his work on display in the Lowden Gallery from March 1 – April 30. David’s fine art is rooted in traditional technique and classical composition. His pen and ink drawings of abandoned barns and jazz musicians, impressionistic florals, landscapes, and classical oil portraits all display both virtuosity and inspiration.

The work of these two artists as well as the many other artists on display throughout the Coliseum Museum will be highlighted on Friday, March 15, with an Artist Reception from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, with music by Slainte who will present Celtic music for the evening’s entertainment.
