The Deines Cultural Center is featuring “Men at Work” a multi-media exhibit of two working artists.  The show includes paintings by Dennis Schiel, Hays and sculpture by Chet Cale, Great Bend.  The opening reception is Sunday, December 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm and continues through December 31.

Dennis Schiel is a life-long artist who started his career in Colorado doing sports illustrations and portraits. He maintains a studio and gallery in Hays where he is currently working on a ten-panel history of Kansas with hopes that it will be in the state’s visitor’s center.  He will be bringing twenty acrylic and pastel paintings in a variety of subject matter including portraits, transportation and landscapes to the exhibit.

Chet Cale (http://www.chetcale.com) has been sculpting for seventeen years.  He has completed works in stone, bronze, clay, wood, cast stone, and plaster, including commission portraits of children, women and men, judges, heads of business, religious leaders, and pioneers of science. He has also completed a "spirit animal" series of sculptures and several other spiritually inspired one-of-a-kind sculptures that range in size from desk top to larger than life.  He will be bringing twenty-five pieces to the exhibit.

Cale says, “For some of us the desire to create art is reflected in our life’s work, and the world calls us an artist. To be a part of this communication is a privilege.”
