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.

Frances Bates @ Fox Den: White Tiger Inventions
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!

Apollo Introduction. Request to Hire Apollo for two months to help with PR, Marketing, Promotion and showcasing our ACW musicians. Barbara

Apollo is a freelance digital marketer who was raised in Minnesota. Apollo went to the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and graduated in Spring 2021 with a B.S.B. in Marketing, minoring in Business Analytics and International Business.
After having worked for a Minneapolis-based digital marketing firm where he worked with enterprise-scale e-commerce clients, he realized that he instead wanted to work with artists and musicians to help spread their stories and visions throughout the world. To that end, he established his own full-service artist promotion agency: Manifest Abstract. Through Manifest Abstract, Apollo works closely with artists to affordably service them with booking/outreach, digital media management, and photography/videography.
You can learn more about Apollo’s work through the following links:

SEPTEMBER’S GALLERY SHOW AT HOMEWOOD STUDIOS
“inside my hands: the covid year”
drawings and poems by dougie padilla
Opening reception – Friday, September 10th from 6pm to 9pmdougie will offer a poetry reading on Tuesday, September 28th at 7pm
Our third show since reopening the gallery after Covid continues artwork that expresses itself in vibrant colors, exuberant gestures and inviting vistas. The drawings and poetry broadsides by dougie padilla do just that. As his title suggests, the work presented was produced during our time of covid and seem an antidote to the sequestering and darkness we all experienced.
About his work, padilla writes:
1) during the covid year I went dynamite creative nuts more than ever and painted and drew and wrote poems intensely and incessantly and obsessively about this quite insane and oft delightful world we live in, and
2) this show of drawings and poems are just the tip of that iceberg.
Please note: Plymouth Avenue, where Homewood Studios lives, is currently undergoing a complete rebuilding and is more or less impassable. Please go to our website – www.homewoodstudiods.com – for current driving and parking directions.

Native American Heritage Month: Honor Truth Telling
2022-11-01 08:00 - 17:00
Honor Truth Telling
by Laura Mann Hill -ACW D and I Coordinator
Photo by Forrest Hill, shared with permission from Daren Hill, ACW member
“Indigenous people are not relics of the past. We are still here, and we continue to demonstrate our talents and gifts amidst a backdrop of ongoing colonialism and oppression. We are worth celebrating.” —Native Governance Center
When my daughter was 9 years old, we had many conversations about the way Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) were represented in her textbooks, especially as she learned more about American history and colonization. “Mom, this is a lie. They should tell us the truth…we can handle it” she said. My daughter is now 12 and attends a school that centers on a social justice curriculum, but we still have these conversations about text and media she encounters. November is National Native American Heritage Month, offering all of us an opportunity to embrace truth. As people living in, Mni Sota Makoce or Minnesota, we should not only acknowledge that we are on the homeland of the Dakota people; and a home for many other Indigenous nations, including the Anishinaabe and the Ho-Chunk people. We have the responsibility to move beyond acknowledgments towards actions. We must continue to do the work to dismantle racism and white supremacy as artists and community members to repair the harms of colonization and honor truth-telling. What can we do today to radically change the way future generations speak about the past?
