Artist: Dr. Barbara Bridges
Barbara Rogers Bridges has been an artist and a teacher/college professor for over 40 years. Her social practice sculptures have been exhibited in Maine, Miami, the Virgin Islands, Maryland, Chicago, Mexico, Spain, Canada, and throughout Minnesota. Bridges taught K-12 art in Minnesota, Maine and the Virgin Islands and trained teachers in higher education at the University of Minnesota and Bemidji State University.
Barbara creates social practice art from fabricated components in a variety of media and rescued “power objects.” She manipulates the objects to create meaning and provoke discussions and reflection on a wide variety of social topics.
She is an intervenor. Cambridge educated philosopher, Tim Ingold, holds a unique theory on art making. Dr. Ingold suggests that artists are simply interveners on any particular materials and/or objects the artist manipulates. Any object already has a story, the artist simply recombines these objects to create a new narrative.
Barbara received the Vision Award from the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District in 2023.

Artist: Kat Corrigan
“Through Kat Corrigan’s paintings, viewers are invited to enter a universe that is sharp and alive with color, vibrates with movement, lights the imagination, and offers sanctuary from daily human complication.
“Painting is an act of meditation and joy for me. It is the negative space around familiar forms that intrigues me- how to properly depict that curve of kinked tail, the twist in an ear, the slant of sunlight on fallen snow. I thrill to take a common subject such as a dog and elevate it to an abstraction of color and light. My work is translating the focus of a soul into brushstrokes, attempting to depict in pigment what is written in an eye,” explains Corrigan.
Award-winning Minneapolis-based artist Kat Corrigan’s formal art training began at a young age through the direction of her mother, an art teacher and exhibiting artist. Corrigan graduated from the College of St. Benedict with a BA in Art, including a semester of independent study in Ireland painting watercolors. She is active in the Minnesota Artists Association (MAA), Open Air Painters of Minnesota (OPM), and journeys to the Art Colony in Grand Marais annually in the spring to seek inspiration from the great lake. Corrigan exhibits her paintings throughout the metro area and actively seeks gallery representation and private commissions. Her work has won awards and recognition in juried shows throughout the United States and has been widely collected both in the US and in England, Australia, Japan, Wales, Lebanon, Costa Rica and Switzerland. Corrigan teaches painting lessons from her South Minneapolis studio.”

Her spiritual art comes from meditation and channeling the subconscious and source energy.
Some classes Kelly has taught include Drawing, Watercolor, Piano, Guitar, Clarinet, Critical Thinking, and other humanities and sciences. Her educational background consists of a BFA in Illustration from MCAD and a MFA in Creative Writing from the University of New Orleans with studies in Ireland, Scotland, and Italy in Poetry, Creative Non-Fiction, Screenwriting, and Visual Art.

Gallo’s paintings are born of an access to the energy of creativity activated with meditation and awareness practices deeply rooted in and expressive of mysticism and spiritual philosophy. The process of working is the heart of her work. In the access to creativity, its energy has an ability to vibrate peace and mimic a meditative state where it becomes a component of healing. It’s in this light that she continues to make, share, exhibit and sell work, while researching and experimenting with new ways to form connections and substantiate the power of art.”

Artist: Sam Greene
My career as an artist started shortly after I earned my BA in Graphic Design in San
Francisco CA. After several years living in Japan, I relocated to New York City to work at
design and advertising firms, first in print design, then as an interactive illustrator and
designer. My most amusing and inspiring job was a stint as head art director for M&M/Mars
Skittles and Snickers. During my New York years, I also did editorial illustration for the New
York Times, Business Week, and New York Magazine. After 911, I started my own business,
SciencePiction, as an illustrator and graphic designer. Among my accomplishments were ninety illustrations for a book entitled Gardening with Children for Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, fifty signage illustrations for New York Botanical Gardens’ Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, and a myriad of botanical and nature illustrations for educational publishers.
During this time, I started to develop my own personal work including a series of humorous
illustrations of Extremophiles–extreme life forms–and a second series depicting The Planets
and Planettes, which relied heavily on astrological metaphors and magical realism. This
work was exhibited at the Flushing Hall of Science in Queens NY, Brooklyn Public Library,
and the American Museum of Natural History.
I was soon to add the title of visual arts teacher to my repertoire of skills as a teaching artist
both for the New York City Department of Education and the New York Department of
Juvenile Justice. I facilitated art workshops for underserved, marginalized populations in
New York City public schools and also to residents of juvenile detention sites, both young
women and men, in Brooklyn and Bronx, New York. My involvement with social justice
began here.
Currently, I live in Minnesota where at long last, I’ve come to place my own art front and
center. Since moving to the Midwest in 2018, I’ve been creating fine art prints in digital
media, watercolor, and charcoal––all of this after a final 5-year detour to earn my MA in
teaching English as a Second Language as an instructor at colleges, adult learning centers,
and libraries in New York, where I also taught visual arts workshops to both adults and
Children.
At this moment in time, I’m busy at work on the next chapter of my creative journey.”

“Jennifer Schultz is a painter and fiber artist from Minneapolis MN. “My work is a daily practice; whether I’m painting or sewing, making paper or creating jewelry, my peace of mind depends on the time I spend in my home studio. Some work tells a story about people and relationships. Other paintings are inspired by the natural world, by elements of life too small for us to see or hidden in darkness beneath the soil.” Jennifer is the recipient of a Jerome Foundation fellowship in fiber arts, and an individual artist grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. She has one adult son, and three black cats.

Artist: Lucienne “Lucy” Schroepfer
“Originally from Cambridge, MA Lucy was steeped in the arts through childhood. Originally focusing on music, she discovered fabrics and sewing 20 years ago and has never looked back.
Lucy starts each morning in her studios at 5 am. On good days, post her day job in the performing arts, she is back in the studio.
Whether experimenting with patchwork and color, creating fabric paintings, or long-arm quilting- her work typically showcases bold colors with a broad bouquet of thread and texture. Inspiration comes from places, books, and the fabric itself. Most fun for her is to witness the surprise from folks realizing, only up-close, her paintings are in fact fabric. Often framing without glass, she reminds folks her art is washable.
Lucy is a member of the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild, MN Quilters, Dakota Star Country Quilters, NEMAA, St. Paul Art Collective, and the Mpls, Textile Center. She lives and studios in Saint Paul with her husband, three teens, and mutt “Lulu”.
