Attendees will learn more about creative placemaking in general\, the Artists on Main Street Initiative\, examples of projects funded in other MN communities\, and the project parameters specific to Northfield. \nThe name of Northfield’s initiative is “Connection/Conexión.” Project funding will be available to any artist\, creative\, or maker living or working within the Northfield Public School district boundary. Projects will use art\, creativity\, events or performances to help to draw people from across Highway 3 to downtown and create connections between people and places within our downtown. \nProjects should occur within the boundaries of 2nd street on the north\, 5th street on the south\, the railroad tracks on the west side of Highway 3 and the East Riverwalk/backs of Division St. buildings on the east.

Registration for the workshops is free\, but attendees should RSVP at http://downtownnorthfield.org if they plan to attend. \nAbout the Artists on Main Street Initiative and Partners \nThe Northfield Downtown Development Corporation was awarded a $30\,000 grant through the Artists on Main Street community development initiative in Fall 2018. The\nprogram is a partnership between the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota (PAM) and Springboard for the Arts\, with support from the Bush Foundation. The program explores the intersection of arts and culture\, downtown revitalization\, and historic preservation in eleven Minnesota Main Street communities over a four year period. \nMinnesota Main Street is an economic development program of PAM that uses a historic preservation based strategy to revitalize downtown districts in Greater Minnesota communities. The program works with communities long-term and provides training and resources\, including a Main Street Project Fund; to help community members revitalize their downtown. \nSpringboard for the Arts is a national leader in creative community development. Their approach is rooted in the principles of community organizing and focuses on a “lots of little” strategy that surfaces unrecognized leaders in communities\, builds public narratives from a multiplicity of perspectives and voices; and creates low-risk opportunities for collaboration. This equity-based model centers on the lives and experiences of the people in and of the place; values the relationships\, partnerships\, and creative capacity that artists and communities build together; and aims to build power and agency for individuals\, neighborhoods and communities. \nAbout the Northfield Downtown Development Corporation \nThe Northfield Downtown Development Corporation (NDDC) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2000 to support\, strengthen\, and grow Northfield’s unique downtown district. It is made up of business owners\, buildings owners\, and engaged residents who value the role downtown plays in Northfield’s vibrancy. \nNorthfield\, Minnesota\, is a picturesque river town with a walkable downtown district along the scenic Cannon River. Northfield is home to St Olaf and Carleton Colleges\, and so is one of the upper Midwest’s best college towns. It is home to historic buildings\, a swirl of art and cultural activities\, state-of-the-art businesses\, a rich offering of hotels and restaurants\, and a sophisticated retail environment. \nThe program will help the NDDC to sustain a vibrant downtown by providing art and creative placemaking experiences that draw people to shop\, dine and connect in Downtown Northfield; enhancing the downtown’s aesthetics through the creativity of our local artists; and utilizing the arts as a springboard for improving diversity and inclusiveness in Downtown Northfield across all cultures. As the Designated MN Main Street organization\, the NDDC will coordinate the Artists on Main Street program in collaboration with the City of Northfield’s Arts & Culture Commission and the Northfield Arts Guild.

SUMMARY:Leaves of Grass - Illuminated
DESCRIPTION:SEE THIS SHOW IN NORTHFIELD BEFORE IT PLAYS AT THE GUTHRIE (next summer). \nThe capstone event for Northfield Poetry Festival. \nAdmission is free for this first-come-first-serve non-ticketed event.\nA free will offering will be accepted. \nLeaves of Grass – Illuminated has received rave reviews in Minneapolis and New York City:\n“Both Whitman and Scully are major figures; they contain multitudes.” (Village Voice)\n“Scully is the perfect caretaker for Whitman’s legacy.” (StarTribune)\n“Patrick Scully was born to play Walt Whitman.” (Lavender Magazine)\n\n\n“Leaves of Grass – Illuminated is about history\, art\, and literature – presenting aspects of Walt Whitman’s life and work that are fascinating for our time\, in which discussions of male/male relations have moved out of the shadows into the light of day. The show reveals relationships between men in Whitman’s era\, from Whitman’s utopian vision for male/male relations to the forces that sought to deny them.\nLeaves of Grass – Illuminated  reveals how we got here. I believe there would be no marriage equality in the US today if Whitman hadn’t first written Leaves of Grass in 1855. This show celebrates that\, making historical connections from the past to our present\, and provides sustenance for battles that still remain.  \nThere is a focus in this show on Whitman’s sexuality. It presents him as a complete human being\, as opposed to traditional approaches which erase his sexuality\, denying its importance to his life and to his poetry. Whitman made clear the pressures he faced writing about taboo topics (including\, but not only\, men loving men)\, and the consequences he faced for doing this. This show reflects that. There is nothing in the show that is sexually explicit. This show is appropriate for high school age and above.\nWhitman was a subversive artist\, a radical.”\n-Patrick Scully\n\n\nWhitman wrote:\nDoubtless I could not have perceived the universe\, or written one of my poems\, \nIf I had not freely given myself to comrades\, to love.         \n– Excerpt from Leaves of Grass\n\nFind our more about the show.\n\nFind our more about Patrick Scully.\n\n \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
