Is it Craft or is it Art? We Think it’s Both!

June’s Gallery Exhibit is an enchanting display of models build by Craig Torgerson

Craig is known for his musical talent, having performed at venues all around the area. He has graced the EAC First Friday stage a number of times over the years, most recently on May 3rd. However, he is also an incredibly talented and patient model builder.

Craig Torgerson’s Model Building Exhibit In EAC Gallery in June

Craig has been building models since he was 7  or 8 years old - nearly 60 years of building them, wrecking them and blowing them up!   He has also entered model shows that were pretty prominent “back in the day”. K-Marts, Viking Plaza Mall and even county fairs had them.

While stationed in the Air Force in Great Falls, Montana, he took “Best in Show” and “People’s Choice” awards for his Kenworth Conventional Truck.  He has also received ribbons for a few cars and motorcycles. In his most recent entry into a model magazine contest, Craig built a Silverado Stretch Limo that received an “Honorable Mention” and had a photo of his model in Car Modeler’s Magazine.

Craig continues building models of all sorts, including models for people who want to give a special gift of a replica of an automobile, airplane, etc. to someone.

This is a unique exhibit, not to be missed! Gather the gals - and the guys - and come on down to take a good look at these amazing models. This exhibit runs from June 1 through June 29. Gallery house are Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
