ARTISTS' RECEPTION OPENS PHOTO EXHIBITS BEFORE FESTIVAL

 
Orange City, IA -- The Arts are highly celebrated at Orange City's annual Tulip Festival, and this year the festival kicks off with an opening of two featured photo exhibits. The public is invited to an artists' reception on Wednesday, May 16, from 5:30 to 7:30pm in the Iowa State Bank basement, for the opening of "Dutch Connections -- portraits and landscapes from Orange City" by New York photojournalist Rene Clement, and "Sioux County Folk" -- a collection of photos and story excerpts from the upcoming coffee table book by local photographer Doug Burg and author Dr. James Calvin Schaap. The artists will be on hand Wednesday evening, as well as from 11am-noon and 4-5pm daily during the festival May 17-19, to discuss their projects.
