Exhibits of OPM Members' Paintings

Dan McAvey is presenting a new body of work, “Soft Fascination”, at the 410 Project in Mankato. This series of plein air and studio paintings explores the mental health benefits of time spent in nature. The show includes works created during many OPM paint-outs and a residency at the Sax-Zim Bog in August. The show will be open from September 19th through October 4th, 2025.
