In celebration of beloved area artist Mark Blaskey's "Body Language" and "Every Hand Tells a Story" exhibit, Chippewa Falls' Heyde Center for the Arts welcomed guests for a reception on Thursday, Jan. 8. 

The exhibit displays and explores Blaskey's powerful exploration of human form and gesture through body and hand castings – some of which folks may recognize from Blaskey's 2022 exhibit, "A Show of Hands: Notable Masters and Tools of Their Trade" – with many representing community leaders from across the Chippewa Valley, including Skip August and Jerry Brost (formerly of Cray Computer), Jerry Jacobson (formerly of Northwestern Bank) and others. 

The full exhibit is now on display at the Heyde Center (3 S. High St., Chippewa Falls) through Feb. 4.
