Sioux City Art Center honoring artist and Sioux City native Craig Albright
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — A new exhibit at the Sioux City Art Center will display the works of an artist who was born and raised locally. The museum announced Friday that the upcoming 'Chasing Light' exhibit will display a collection of paintings by Craig Albright. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 1 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will be free and open to the public. Albright was born in Sioux City and went to high school at Sioux City North. He currently lives in Iowa City. Book Lovers' Book Sale kicks off at the Southern Hills Mall According to a release, his paintings are inspired by the 'pastoral and industrial landscapes' of Iowa. Perfect realism, however, is not his goal. 'My interest is not to capture a faithful copy of what I see or to duplicate a photograph.' Albright says. 'I'm taking cues from various sources. Through the activity of painting, I use a process of abstracting, distilling, refining and even obliterating the image before me to bring the painting to its own life.' The May 1 reception will feature food and drink, as well as an artist talk in the Lecture Hall at 6 p.m. The exhibit will be on display until Sept. 14, 2025. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
