Blood On the Pavement
2022-05-07 12:00 - 16:00, 2022-05-14 12:00 - 16:00 UTC
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 5:00 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!

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.

2400 Plymouth Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55411
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.

The current Hebrew year, 5782, is a Shmita year. Shmita means “release” in Hebrew and refers to the seventh year in a seven-year cycle (like the seven-day cycle culminating in Shabbat). According to the Torah, during the seventh year, God commands us to let the land rest, release debts, resolve disputes, and open our hands and hearts to those in need. The Shmita Project asks us to consider how do we bring this tradition alive in an era when we no longer rely on the rhythms and harvest of our fields to survive. Featuring submissions to Hazon’s Shmita Project, this multimedia exhibit showcases artwork from all over the country with related programming that will engage the community with the art and provide opportunities to gain their own personal insights about shmita.

Insomniac - Nina Martine Robinson
2022-07-20 08:00 - 17:00
“INSOMNIAC” by Nina Martine Robinson
Opens at Susan Hensel Gallery
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Susan Hensel Gallery welcomes back fiber artist Nina Martine Robinson for her latest solo exhibition INSOMNIAC.
The show opens in the windows at 3441 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis, and online on July 20 and runs through September 15, 2022, celebrating neurodivergence through crocheted figures. The brightly colored pieces represent various aspects and experiences on the spectrum, uncovering and celebrating the inner lives of people with autism.
Of particular interest to the artist is the idea of “masking” — a prevalent behavior among young girls with autism where they hide their symptomatic traits to appear neurotypical. “Masking” leads many girls to go misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.
The crocheted pieces in INSOMNIAC uphold and celebrate the odd, unexpected, and surprising forms it uses to explore this hidden interior life for neurodivergent people. The balance between the figurative and the abstract makes the work a captivating example of fiber art.
INSOMNIAC seeks to express inner states and casts of emotions. This is a universe filled with cartoon-like characters in three dimensions, happy and optimistic representations of a set of feelings and a way of experiencing the world. The effervescence of the art makes it a highly positive experience, focused on the delight in and acknowledgment of our neurodiversity. This has been a mission for the artist since she began researching autism spectrum disorders after her son was diagnosed. She now uses her textile art as a way to create awareness and greater acceptance of neurodivergent people.
A St. Paul artist, Robinson has a long history with the world of sewing, one that runs like a thread through her own experience of family. She was taught by her mother as a young girl, but after leaving school, she wouldn’t sew again until her first son was born. This included making stuffed animals and dolls — the first bud of Robinson’s journey into fiber arts.
She eventually returned to school to get a BA in 2011, and since then she has appeared in many selected exhibitions and collaborative projects. This includes a 2020 appearance at Susan Hensel Gallery with her window exhibit Neurotangle.
The Susan Hensel Gallery is excited to welcome back Robinson and her fascinating work. The gallery focuses on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences.
Visit Artsy.net/susan-hensel-gallery to view Robinson’s INSOMNIAC beginning July 20 through September 15, 2022.

Picture Gallery of the Soul - Opening Night
2022-09-22 19:00 - 21:00
Katherine E. Nash Gallery

Our Own Herman Milligan presents A Picture Gallery of the Soul
September 13 – December 10, 2022

About the Exhibition
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery presents A Picture Gallery of the Soul, a group exhibition of over 100 Black American artists whose practice incorporates the photographic medium. Sampling a range of photographic expressions from traditional photography to mixed media and conceptual art and spanning a timeframe that includes the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, the exhibition honors, celebrates, investigates, and interprets Black history, culture, and politics in the United States.
From the daguerreotypes made by Jules Lion in New Orleans in 1840 to the Instagram post of the Baltimore Uprising made by Devin Allen in 2015, photography has chronicled Black American life and Black Americans have defined the possibilities of photography. Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person, and nationally prominent abolitionist recognized the quick, easy and inexpensive reproducibility of photography. He presciently developed a theoretical framework for understanding the implications of photography on public discourse in a series of four lectures. The exhibition title comes from Douglass’ Lecture on Pictures, delivered in Boston in 1861 during the Civil War.

Homewood Studios SEPTEMBER GALLERY SHOW
2400 Plymouth Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55411

“NEGATIVE CAPABILITY”
Marion Angelica, ceramics
September 2 through 30, 2022

Closing Reception / Gallery Talk – Friday, September 30, 6 pm to 9 pm
Romantic poet John Keats wrote of the ability to suspend judgment about something in order to learn more about it, implying the ability to resist explaining away what we do not understand. He called this negative capability. Recently, our September exhibiting artist, Marini Angelica, has been creating ceramics work laced with open spaces. She is not sure why, but she has chosen to trust the impulse, to go with it. The work in this show, full of the hallmarks of Angelica’s work – intriguing surfaces, unexceed shapes, graceful line,s and surprising color – carried us, with her, into these inviting spaces of not knowing.

Frances Bates @ Fox Den: White Tiger Inventions
2022-10-06 17:00 - 21:00, 2022-10-08 11:00 - 17:00
A message from Frances Bates
Hello ACW,
My name is Frances and I have my first ever solo art show coming up. I have been making art since I was little, so this is a dream come true. If you are curious why you keep seeing me use a tiger design for everything, I’ll tell you the story. White tigers specifically have been my favorite animal ever since I can remember. That love of tigers lead me to include it in emails, social media accounts, and of course my art workshop. Many of those close to me have been recipients of my art and now I am sharing it with the world. If you want to be part of this momentous occasion, please come check my work, or what I like to call White Tiger Inventions, at the Fox Den in October.
Hope to see you there!

The Homewood Photo Collective, founded and curated by Homewood Studios Resident Artist meets monthly to view and comment on members’ work, discuss trends in photography, and provide general encouragement and support to each other. In the past few years, the group has grown and blossomed, to the point where now twenty photographers are participating in this current show.
Larry Risser, Homewood Photo Collective member, offers this artist’s statement for the group:
As matter is composed of atoms, so our lives are composed of moments. And, as we may give little thought to the motions of atoms, so we often fill our days, months, and years with only passing notice of the moments that define the arc of our lives. It is when major events stop us short, cutting off the cascade of daily moments, that we pause to reflect on the moments of joy and loss, success and setback, hope and despair that have filled our lives.
With this exhibit, we invite you the viewer to pause with us and consider the larger significance of the moment that the photographer has caught and let that image resonate with moments in your own life.
Regular subscribers, please note the Sunday hours added for this show.
