Nearly all of the artists that work here open their studios, the galleries have extended hours and special shows, restaurants and bars have specials for art-viewing visitors, and there’s even a trolley available to take you around from place to place. The greatest concentration of fabulous things lies in and around the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. In my studio building alone, the (Northrup King Building, 1500 Jackson St. NE) there will be work by more than 150 artists to see.
My featured guest artist, Dan Buettner is showing his irresistible ‘object’ paintings in my studio this year. These works of incredible drawing and painting skill feature everything from orange slices to turtles to toy robots. Paired with Dan’s work are my own found object pieces. Here you’ll find drink umbrellas, keys and board game pieces assembled into stitched settings. The rest of the studio is filled with my new mixed media print/fiber work as well as Dan’s latest small study collages.

North Dakota Museum of Art Annual Auction, Feb. 7, 2009

Once again this year, I’m honored to have work included in the North Dakota Museum of Art’s Annual Benefit Dinner & Silent Auction. This year’s festivities take place on Saturday, February 7th. This organization is a wonderful and worthwhile art oasis in North Dakota and I’m happy to help support it. They do a fantastic job of bringing in contemporary art from all over the world and balancing that with showcasing important work from the region. Both veins exposing the community to notable art work they might not otherwise have access to. You can view the auction works at the museum now through Feb. 7th or visit http://www.ndmoa.com/ and click ‘events’.
