Sue Gindlesparger and Nicki Rathert: Closing Reception In-Person

A closing reception for a showcase featuring the works of Sue Gindlesparger (metal and jewelry) and Nicki Rathert (textile and weaving) will be from 4-6pm December 12 in the Sharp Museum’s South Hall.

Gindlesparger, an Oak Street Art Collective founder, earned a bachelor’s degree in metalsmithing from SIU Carbondale and became an art instructor at Zeigler-Royalton High School. Rathert, who began weaving in 2016, founded Wander Community Art Studio, a public studio in Du Quoin.

The exhibition in the museum’s Hall of Art is the second of four two-person showings featuring creations by the collective’s artists, leading up to the 10th anniversary of Murphysboro’s Oak Street Art Fair in April 2026.
