VERNON, Ind. — Perceptions Yoga, Mindfulness, and Art’s first monthly art show of 2024 will be a retrospective featuring the work of Opal Schuck. The opening reception is Friday, January 5, from 5 to 7 p.m.
This free show is a little different as no artwork will be for sale. Instead, it is a chance for the public to get to see the art from the family’s private collection.
“This show will be a celebration of Opal’s talent and look back at her life through her artwork,” said Charlinda Evans, president of the nonprofit. “We hope it will introduce Opal’s work to those who did not know her, raise awareness of the history of art in our community, and allow those who knew her to see examples of her work in our galleries, share memories, and connect.”
Opal (Sullivan) Schuck was born in Texas in 1917 but raised in Jennings County. She worked at Delco Remy in Anderson, during World War II, married Edgar Schuck in 1946, and gave birth to eight children. She passed away at the age of 97 on February 24, 2015.
The exhibit is open all month with gallery hours from noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Perceptions is a nonprofit organization in Historic Vernon.
