Don’t miss the annual Superior Resident Art Exhibit, featuring artist Brittany Erekson and her collection "Artful Serenity" on display now at the Superior Community Center!

The exhibit highlights Erekson’s stunning photography, which captures the beauty and stillness of nature in its purest form.

As a Superior resident and artist, Erekson enjoys photographing landscapes and close-ups of nature, often while out running or hiking. She takes pride in the fact that her photographs are not staged, edited with color adjustments, or filtered in any way. Erekson’s artwork showcases the breathtaking natural state of each moment. She hopes her photographs inspire people to be more present, stopping to experience the beauty around them each day.

The exhibit is on display through March 30, with a special opening reception on Jan. 29!
