Christine Alfery, an International Award-Winning Conceptual Artist from Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin received some exciting news today when she was notified that her painting, Patchwork Fields, Machines and Critters was chosen for a purchase award in the new Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Hospital Project. The painting is currently being shown in the juried 'Culture and Agriculture' Exhibition at New Visions Gallery in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The Clinic has purchased the painting for display in its newest facility, a 72,000 square foot hospital, which is currently under construction, and will be attached to its existing clinic in Minocqua.
The painting is currently on view at New Visions Gallery in Marshfield, Wisconsin through July 26th 2019.
New Visions Gallery is a part of The Marshfield Clinic Health System and resides in the lobby of Marshfield Clinic's main campus at 1000 N Oak Avenue in Marshfield, WI. The Gallery is open from 9am-4pm Monday thru Friday.
Gallery employees, as well as the hundreds of gallery donors and volunteers are strong believers in the healing power of art, and being a part of MCHS allows the gallery to bring that power to more patients and families, said Bobbie Erwin, Executive Director of New Visions Gallery when the merger between New Visions Gallery and MCHS occurred in May 2017. This purchase certainly attests to that vision.
