All School Art Show: Creativity is Essential! opens
2021-02-11 | Center for the Arts, 304 Division Street, Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
ALL SCHOOL ART SHOW:
CREATIVITY IS ESSENTIAL
FEB 11-MARCH 6, 2021

Every year the Northfield art teachers curate the All School Art Show to celebrate the incredible artistic talent that is bubbling up in the young people of our community. This show has been an annual celebration at the Northfield Arts Guild for the past three decades. The 2020-21 school year has been anything but typical. But even in the midst of uncertainty and less-than-ideal learning environments, the students have continued to experiment, grow, and achieve as artists.
Much of the artwork that has been created this year is not in teachers’ actual hands. Rather, it exists in digital files submitted by students working remotely. From the student digital collection and from the teacher’s own digital archives, each art teacher has selected four images that best summarized their collective experience during this unprecedented year. These images form a quilt of ideas that represent the struggles and successes of teaching art remotely. These images will also, one day, allow future educators to understand some of what it was like to teach and learn through a global pandemic.
In a typical year nearly 1000 pieces of student art would fill the Guild’s gallery space, and our community would gather in person to celebrate and share the students’ accomplishments. Although this years’ show is different, the hope is that it will nevertheless create the same sense of pride in our community of art educators and the art students who continued to create even in the midst of vast turmoil and separation. This show will demonstrate that even in the middle of a pandemic our community’s creative spirit was able to create something beautiful together.

2024-01-21 10:00 - 14:00 | Northfield Arts Guild, 304 Division St., Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
Join Twin Cities performers Virginia Twins for a workshop about attentions, listening and playful experimentation. With the same theater exercises that we use to create our shows, we will play and imagine together and practice looking at the world in a slightly different way. We believe that theater should be silly and honest, and while performing can be vulnerable, it can also be great fun! Our workshops are about connecting to the people who you’re performing with and building confidence on stage. This workshop is relevant for actors, dancers, performers of any kind, or anyone looking to explore their creativity as a moving body.

Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It’s the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results – not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits.

Celebrate the season of gratitude through the mindful practice of watercolor. In this 2.5-hour creative process workshop, we’ll use artmaking to slow down, reflect, and connect with thankfulness. We’ll begin with gratitude leaves as a warm-up and group sharing, then move into creating personal watercolor mandalas as a way to explore balance and reflection. To close, each participant will paint and personalize the cover of a seasonal gratitude journal, which can be carried forward into daily life. No art skills are required—this class is about the process, not perfection.
