Reinert to announce year-long Mayor’s Reception Room artist exhibition

Duluth Mayor Roger J. Reinert will announce a year-long artist exhibition in the Mayor’s Reception Room at City Hall tomorrow with a reception to showcase the artist Kelly Schamberger and her work. The work is currently hung in the Mayor’s Reception Room and will remain there through 2024.

A short press conference will kick off the event tomorrow at 3:30 PM, and the public is invited to view the artwork and interact with Schamberger during the reception until 5 p.m. Light refreshments will be available.

Schamberger is an internationally-renowned fine artist, graphic designer, and art instructor. Her work features plein air landscapes, portraiture, and still life arrangements in the styles of realism and classical impressionism.

Schamberger is one of a select group of artists worldwide who had work included in the Lunar Codex time capsule placed on the moon by the Odysseus Lander in February 2024, and will also be included in the Polaris Collection moon time capsule launching in the fall of 2024.

Schamberger has exhibited at Sotheby’s New York, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minnesota Marine Art Museum, and Bell Museum.

Schamberger works from a home studio space in Duluth.
