The opening reception for the Cedarburg Art Museum exhibit “Staycation: Oil paintings by Marc Anderson” will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 21.

An artist talk will be held at 5:30 p.m.

The exhibit, which runs through July 16, highlights Anderson’s appreciation for the unique scenery that Wisconsin has to offer.

  In the event of inclement weather, the demonstration will be moved to Anderson’s studio at 2289 Ludington Ave., Wauwatosa.
