Two ISU College of Design faculty members are among 15 artists selected to participate in Iowa Artists 2010.

Ingrid Lilligren and Teresa Paschke are both faculty in the intergrated studio arts program at Iowa State.

The exhibition will include five porcelain sculptures by professor Lilligren and two textile artworks by associate professor Paschke.

“Both Ingrid Lilligren’s and Teresa Paschke’s work merges the distinctions between craft and fine art without creating a hierarchy between the two,” said Jeff Fleming, director of the Des Moines Art Center.

An opening reception will be from 6 – 8 p.m. June 10. Paschke will speak about her artwork in a gallery talk at 6:30 p.m. June 17; Lilligren will present her work at 6:30 p.m. July 15.

The event will run from June 11 to September 19 at the Des Moines Art Center.
