New Exhibition at Manitowoc City Hall:

Artwork by Ray Otto April 28th to July 28th,2008 Sunflower 1 As part of Rahr West Art Museum's Community Outreach programming, community artists are selected from the Manitowoc Area Artists exhibition to show more of their work on the first floor of City Hall in Manitowoc, rotating on a 3 month basis. I started developing an interest in photography in 1985. In an effort to learn more, I enrolled in a photography class at Silver lake College for the 1986 spring semester. I had no idea that class would lead any further. However, I found myself going back to Silver Lake for the fall semester. I was now pursuing an Associate Degree in Commercial Art with additional instruction in photography. My interests did not stop there. With the degree achieved at Silver Lake College, I proceeded to seek an Associate Degree in photography at Milwaukee Area Technical College. After earning my degree at MATC, I chose to return to the construction field and form my own remodeling business. I returned to Silver Lake College for the 2006 fall semester. I am now looking to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Studio and Graphic Art with additional education in Sculpture, Ceramics and Web Design. Works in the exhibition are for sale through the Rahr West Art Museum. For further information, contact Rahr West Art Museum at 920-683-4501.
