ECRAC Permanent Collection
ECRAC's permanent art collection contains artwork from local artists within Region 7E who have participated in the IMAGE Art show and received the ECRAC Purchase Award. The East Central Regional Arts Council Board members have been giving purchase awards since the IMAGE Art show started in the early 1980’s and went to an annual show in 1987.
Each year the collection grows as the new purchase awards are added to the ECRAC Gallery space. Below you can view photos of the permanent collection and once it is safe to do so, ECRAC will open the gallery at the ECRAC office in Hinckley, MN to view in person. Until that time, please enjoy the photos of the permanent collection and the artists who have received purchase awards over the years.
Congratulations to all of the ECRAC Purchase Award recipients!
