Natalie McGuire: Group Exhibition at Praxis Gallery
2022-02-19 08:00 - 17:00
Natalie McGuire will have her infrared image Seeds Planted In a Group Exhibition at Praxis Gallery, the 2nd Annual artist member showcase.
Exhibition dates: February 19th through March 5th, 2022
Location: 2637 27th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406
Website https://www.praxisphotocenter.org/
personal website: https://nmcguirestudio.com/
The selected image is Seeds Planted.
Natalie says:
“Road trips recharge my soul and fuel my creativity. On this road trip, I headed to Sleepy Eye, MN where they have the nicest owners of Sleepy Eye stain glass shop. The drive takes a few hours to get there, and I enjoy taking the single-lane county highways. The landscape is dotted with farmhouses, newly planted crops, gently rolling hills, small creeks with forest groves. I was blessed with Bob Ross kind of clouds, Horses greeting me to say good morning.
This scene captivated my eyes as the hint of lime green sprouts just breaking the jet-black soil accompanied the Seeds Mother Nature planted earlier in the Spring.”

Euphoria Short Works Festival - Apply This Month
2022-02-23 08:00 - 17:00
Two Ways to Participate in an Exciting Event!
Susan Hensel Projects is a coaching partner for this exciting project.
Euphoria Short Works Festival needs your help!
We are a short works festival celebrating gender expression of all forms.
Euphoria Short Works Festival is looking for a wide range of Minnesota resident artists to share their art in the festival. Act ideas may include but aren’t limited to dance, poetry, short films/plays, and musicians. All art must be themed around gender euphoria and each act will receive a $100 stipend.
You can also help us by filling out our survey.
As part of this project, we are collecting local/national/international data about people’s knowledge and experience with the gender spectrum and their gender identity. This anonymous data will be used to create artwork for the festival. Those that take the survey have the option to be entered in a drawing to win a $50 Target Gift Card!
Please share this information with your network.
Euphoria Short Works Festival is a part of the “Coaching Project for a Better World”, by Art to Change the World.

Opening Reception - Material and Media Exploration
2022-03-07 17:00 - 20:00
Material and Media Exploration
Work by MCAD Foundation Studies Students
March 4-30, 2022
Opening Reception – Monday, March 7th from 5pm to 8pm
(light food and drinks provided)
For several years in the recent past, we have been pleased and honored to host an MCAD Foundations Drawing show in our gallery. Covid-19 introduced a hiatus to that gallery practice a couple of years ago. Now, we are happy to resume that series of shows, this time featuring the work of all the genres addressed in the Foundations Program. Expect to see not only the more traditional 2D paintings and drawings, but also 3D work on pedestals and medias pieces on screens placed around the gallery. Another important aspect to note, all MCAD students take the Foundations classes, regardless of their intended area of interest or focus.
One of the established goals of the Foundation Program at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), is to experiment with concepts, materials and techniques, and to build skill-sets in a variety of making processes. Most importantly, the program encourages students to embrace risk-taking as an essential element of the creative process. This exhibition is a celebration of a selection of student work produced in the first semester (fall 2021) of the Foundation Studies Program at MCAD. Works produced range from 2D to 3D to 4D, with various media and techniques, all showing the versatility, creativity, and tenacity of the students as a whole.
[Though restrictions, mandates and advisories are slowly being relaxed, Covid-19 is still with us, and we request mask be worn for all gallery visits.]

ARTWORK BY NORTH HIGH GRADUATES
April 1-30
Our scheduled show for April, new work in fabrics and weaving by Tressa Sularz, has been postponed for a year because of Covid-19 concerns. (Look for this show in April 2023.)

We are also taking a break from regular gallery hours to attend the CODEX Book Fair (https://www.codexfoundation.org/codex-2022), a gathering of the finest book artists and designers from around the world, in San Francisco.
With these two items in mind, we are not holding regular gallery hours during April. Should you want to drop by to view the permeant collection work, please phone (612 587-0230) or e-mail (george@homewoodsstudios.com) for an appointment.

Natalie McGuire creates multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you. The art she creates allows her to connect with you, making you feel as if you were there with Natalie. They entice you to reach out and touch my art, so you can view and feel at the same time. She calls these works photozaics. They are a perfect mixture of Van Gogh meets Ansel Adams and Bob Ross.

Euphoria Short Works Festival
2022-04-30 19:30
Team Euphoria
Art to Change the World’s Coaching Project Team Euphoria proudly presents the Euphoria Short Works Festival!
Project Manager Lauren Edson and Coaches Susan Hensel and Mark Jelinek have worked together to create a festival focused on celebrating all forms of gender expression. This festival will feature local Minnesota artists, sharing what gender means to them. From poets to comedians to short films, there will be a wide variety of unique voices and stories to share with you all. As a gender queer artist, Project Manager Lauren knows the importance of creating a safe space where one can feel accepted and celebrated for their identity. They hope that this festival will encourage people to learn more about the gender spectrum and embrace the uniqueness and euphoria that comes with expressing one’s truest self. Participants are TBA.
The festival will be taking place on April 30th at the Capri Theater at 7:30 PM. We hope to see you there!
Address: 2027 W Broadway Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55411

Blood on the Pavement - Opening Night
2022-05-05 17:00 - 21:00
Think, Discuss, and Disrupt!
The upcoming Art To Change the World art exhibit, “Blood on the Pavement,” aims to help Minnesota communities think, discuss, and disrupt! The group show is scheduled to have Opening Night activities during First Thursday, May 5, 2022 from 5:00 – 9:00 PM at the Northrup King Building third floor gallery (studio 332). Open Mike for poets starts at 5:PM with a short talk about Brothers Keeper by Nikki McComb at 6:00 PM. At 7:00, poets TBA will read selected works.
The show will combine the poetry of Ashley Richardson and visual art responses to her poems. The intention is to spark conversations about violence against Black bodies, both verbally and physically, from micro aggressions to police brutality; as well as violence against trans bodies, women’s bodies, and other intersections of the Black identity. With a deep belief that Black lives, voices, and narratives matter, poet and curator, Ashley Richardson, has organized “Blood on the Pavement” as a month-long exhibit (May 5 – May 25).
Closing Night is May 25. At 6:30 the silent auction for noted painter, Owen Brown’s, response to the George Floyd murder, called On George Floyd will end. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to a nonprofit TBA.
The show will feature the following local artists responding to Richardson’s poems. They will be providing remarks on May 25 at 7:00: Drew Hammond, Azania Tripp, Briauna Williams, Lyle Ferguson, Sebastian Rivera Cintron, Ariana Carbajal, Cory Favre with unique appearances of works by Nikki McComb and Owen Brown. It is imperative that Black stories take up space!

Home: Nostalgia & Chaos - Chris Cinque (Opening)
2022-05-07 17:00 - 20:00
Home: Nostalgia & Chaos

Home: Nostalgia and Chao

New collages and paintings by Chris Cinque
May 4-31
Opening Reception – Saturday, May 7th from 5 pm to 8 pm
We have known Chris Cinque for several years. She has endured, along with all of us, the delay of this show due to Covid-19. We are pleased the hiatus is over and we are able to offer her work to the community. About her current paintings, Chris writes:
I had to leave my southern home when I was nineteen because I came out as a lesbian to my Catholic family. I headed to the far north where I had never been and no one in my family really knew where I was. I wrote about this in my trilogy of one-woman plays called “Growing Up Queer in America. One of the passages said this:
Exiles know what I know, what you know too
For when we leave our country’s borders and sweet fields
We are outcasts from our country
We are outcasts from our families
We are outcasts from ourselves
I taught English for almost twenty years to immigrants and refugees and I felt a kinship with many of my students hearing their stories of being forced to leave their homelands. It is an unfortunate and all too common part of the human condition: people being uprooted from all that is familiar for whatever reason: war, natural catastrophe, racial violence, domestic abuse, poverty.
One of the definitions of nostalgia is “homesickness”. When my father, at age nineteen, went off to Bootcamp during World War II, it was the first time he’d ever been away from home. He became physically ill but eventually recovered enough to get shipped off to Europe so he could walk across France shooting Nazis.
When my great-grandparents, Salvatore and Rosina, were forced to move to America because of poverty, Rosina died at forty-two from a brain hemorrhage and, I suspect, domestic violence leaving behind a large family of motherless children.
My family’s stories are magnified and repeated worldwide and throughout history in the endless migrations, people have been forced into. We are so many of us refugees, but we are resilient. And that is part of the story as well. Wherever we end up, we create homes and families and the satisfaction that comes from overcoming hardships and creating better lives for our descendants.
This show attempts to document, reflect upon, and honor what it means to have a home, to lose it, and to make another to take its place.
We will offer a hybrid Gallery Talk [in person and remote] beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday, May 17th. Nearer the date of this event, we will post a link on our website page.

Breathe (a ritual to undo) - Opening
2022-05-13 18:30 - 19:30
Breathe (a ritual to undo)

Breathe: A Ritual to Undo, a new play by Ashawnti Sakina Ford.

About this event

Join us for the world premiere of Ashawnti Sakina Ford’s ritual performance piece, Breathe: A Ritual to Undo.
Directed by Antonio Duke.
Performed by Alexis Camille, Sterling Miller & Dana Lee Thompson.
Original Music by Umar Malik
Designers: Mitchell Frazier & Bayou Bay; Stage Manager: Arianna Diaz-Celon
Performed at the Paradise Community Hall at the Capri Theater.
This performance was commissioned in 2020 as part of Exposed Brick Theatre’s Through Our Eyes series. Ford described it this way: A moment of pause, a collective breath, a call to shake things up (in our bodies) so that we can continue a fight that was started long ago and may continue long after us. This ritual is intended to heal by allowing all of our emotions to flow in, out, and around us. A renewed sense of fight is what I hope can emerge by listening and performing this piece.
Million Artist Movement will partner with Exposed Brick Theatre at each performance to provide Power Tree Quilting starting one hour prior to the performance.
Schedule is:
Friday, May 13: Quilting begins at 6:30; Performance at 7:30
Saturday, May 14: Quilting begins at 6:30; Performance at 7:30
Sunday, May 15: Quilting begins at 1:00; Performance at 2:00
The performance is approximatley 45 minutes.
This current Covid Policy at the Capri Theater is as follows:Masks are required at all indoor events at the Capri, except while actively eating or drinking. Non-cloth masks, such as N95, KN95, KF94 and surgical masks, are recommended.

To open our summer season of shows, we offer an enticing and diverse group of artists who, after meeting each other in a class taught by artist Deborah Foutch, have continued to work with, encourage and support each other for several years. One of the groups, Laura DuFrane Murphy, is one of our resident studio artists.
About their work, they write:
Our individual visual art is diverse—we all have different visions even at times when we use similar mediums or explore similar subjects. Through these years, we have grown in our abilities, sometimes altered artistic direction, or just learned to explore new ideas as we shared our creative process with one another.
This exhibit celebrates our long-term connection with one another. These works illustrate how art was a diversion from the pandemic stresses as we retreated into studios to work alone. Some of us focused on adhering to the artistic paths on which we began; others deviated into a new artistic direction. We all have been fed by the creative force and continue to honor our connection to it and to one another.
