 Well the Watermark Arts Center in Bemidji is celebrating one year in its new building. Reporter Cheryl Moore has a look at how they are marking the anniversary and this week's in focus. Things have gone much faster than we thought. I can't believe we're already at our one year anniversary. It feels like just yesterday that officials were cutting ribbon and walking into the Watermark Arts Center for the very first time. If one word was used to describe the past 365 days, it would be busy. We've had so much more opportunities in our new space so there's been a lot of activity and sometimes we're scrambling to keep up. There's so much going on with the four galleries showing work, with the educational opportunities and activities associated with a lot of the exhibits, field trips. Visitor numbers have gone up for the Watermark since moving from their old space at the Carnegie Library. They've also been able to provide new creative opportunities for the community that weren't possible before. The increased number of exhibits has been a great opportunity, something that we couldn't do in the smaller space so there's a lot broader scope of work including VSU Collections which has been a wonderful add to the programming as well as our Mekinon Gallery which is dedicated to Native American art. Over the past year, more than 20 exhibits and countless artists have been featured at the Watermark Arts Center. Coming up they hope to continue more of the same. We have things coming up every weekend in December including our anniversary party on the 9th. For next year we'll be doing more things in the green space in our pollinator garden and rain gardens that are outside so we're hoping to have some more outdoor activities so that'll be new. The Watermark is now calling year one a success. Our executive director says what she's loved the most is seeing others enjoying the work. My favorite part would be seeing the people come into the space and looking at the work and really enjoying the exhibits, seeing the excitement. So many people have been so surprised about this space, what it was going to be, what it is. Tickets for the one year celebration can be bought at the Watermark Arts Center or Sunday at the door.
