SUMMARY:Centered Mindfulness exhibition opens
DESCRIPTION:CENTERED MINDFULNESS\nJULY 23– AUG 29\, 2020\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition features installation works by six regional artists Marilyn Larson\, Tim Lloyd\, John Saurer\, Jan Shoger\, Elizabeth Simonson and Michon Weeks. Each artist has developed a specific visual language that aims to shift viewers’ perspective toward a more meditative view of the world\, either through repetitive forms\, mathematical theories\, grid systems or circular structures. \n  \nWatch a recording of the Virtual Reception that was held on August 6\, 2020 to celebrate the artists. See a slideshow of artwork and hear remarks from the featured artists followed by an artist Q & A portion. \n\n\n\n\n\nSEE EXHIBITION VIDEOS AND PHOTOS\n\n\n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTISTS:\nMarilyn Larson \n\n \n\nMarilyn Larson is a Minneapolis-based artist\, ceremonialist\, and labyrinth maker. Since 1996 she has been building contemplative labyrinths for wall\, floor and outdoors. Labyrinths have been found worldwide over the past 5\,000 years. Patterns found in nature are reflected in walkable art called labyrinths. A labyrinth is an enclosed meandering path that leads into a center and out again. A sacred space is created each time we trace the form of a labyrinth with eyes\, fingers\, or feet.  A labyrinth is also a mirror and a listening device. Intentions set upon entering the image invite response. Wherever found\, labyrinths continue to offer an opportunity to experience a pace that can bring inner peace. Like the meandering movement of a river that revitalizes water\, the ever-turning\, rhythmical walk of a labyrinth calls forth clarity. \n\n\n\nTim Lloyd \n\n \n\nTim Lloyd is a Northfield artist whose ideas come from nature\, and whose work has always made reference to some aspect of the natural world. \nBoreal Studies\, a series.\nDrawing for me has always been a way to get into the mind of an artist. Without the intent of making a work of art the direct activity putting marks on a surface gets close to the thinking of a person. It’s something like what I like to say “picking the brain of another human”.This series of drawings of trees from an area of Minnesota’s Arrowhead gives this group of graphite drawings “ a sense of place” not only of boreal species\, that of old growth White Pine\, White Spruce\, and Balsam Fir\, but of my intent to describe the trees. I hope too that they also give a glimpse of my thought process. I love graphite as a tool for mark making\, for me its’ spontaneity conveys how I’m mindful as I draw. \n\nJohn Saurer \n\n\n \n\nI created this monoprint series of over 100 impressions of simple objects collected at my feet\, off the ground (natural and man-made\, beautiful and ugly). I am intrigued by the “multiple” and the potential to construct a larger composition from a single print matrix and the “ghosts” of previous impressions as the series moves forward. \nMy artwork is a metaphor for order: sometimes re-expressing order found in the landscape\, a mechanical process\, the rhythm of form\, personal relationships\, and the life around me. Each work is often a collaboration of many independent parts that are crafted to come together and express a larger whole. \n\n\n\nJan Shoger \n\n \n\nMy sketchbooks are chock full of drawings of natural phenomena: logs caught in a stream\, bird’s nests\, cells magnified 2500 times by the scanning electron microscope\, rock formations\, trees hanging tenaciously to nearly bare rock\, great blue herons\, twisted thistles\, driftwood fragments\, seeds picked up on a walk\, shells found at ocean’s edge\, organic shadows from plants\, striated stones or weathered bones. \nShadows\nWintry\, distorted shadows of tree\, shrubs\, grasses\,\nFall across the white undulations on the hill behind the house\nThe mind focuses\, empties of all thoughts\nWhat I see\, feel\, at this moment is all that matters\nTotally caught up\, charcoal marks are made\, responding to what I see\, what I take in\nHand and eye movements merge\nSpontaneous\, meditative\, gestures quickly mark the paper. \n\nElizabeth Simonson \n\n\n \n\n My work is structured through the creation of repetitive systems. Where better can this order be found than in the building blocks of life? From simple molecular structures to complex organisms\, life grows blindly\, motivated by creating self sustaining structures that foster survival. I see my work as an aspect of nature. \nIt was not my intention to create system-based art\, but I feel that abstraction and the use of logic\, systems and patterns is a powerful language\, and it is important to me that the viewer has an accessible path to share in my exploration of it. I use common everyday materials like tape\, wire\, beads\, tiles\, fishing line\, office supplies or anything that comes in multiples as my inspiration. One pattern may involve covering from ceiling to floor\, a wall or room with consecutive rows of tape. Each successive layer conforms to the imperfections of the previous row where by a subtle crease evolves into a voluminous shape. The enormous task of both building and attaching the units underscores the complex relationship between a rigid and fixed system with the limitations of the material and the maker. \n\n\nMichon Weeks \n \n\nDrawings: Airplane\, Boombox\, Car\nAs an artist\, I work to see as concretely as possible what my mind can think and imagine. Inspiration can come from anything and anywhere: things\, thoughts\, memories\, sensations\, etc. My collection of subjects for this group of drawings came from direct conversations with my choir mates at St. Peter’s in Northfield\, MN. I asked my fellow singers questions about themselves. What is important to you? How do you spend your time? What are your prized possessions? Often\, their answers yielded specific objects–a sewing machine\, a stocking cap\, an airplane\, a ring\, etc. I draw to see a materialized view of each object distilled through my ink\, tools\, hands\, brain\, senses\, heart\, and gut. I made many of the drawings within a grid of lines or dots. The grid provides a field where I can find imagery and avoid dishonest marks. Blocky-shaped objectsalong with my mistakes\, edits\, and dabs of unpolished doubt are unconcealed in the drawings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEXHIBITION CATALOG

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.

SUMMARY:Free Workshop - Capturing Your Story
DESCRIPTION:How can you convey a sense of your life’s richness? How can your experience\, observations\, and personal wisdom be translated into written form? Where to start? This workshop introduces techniques for capturing and conveying an idea\, an image\, or a story in a concise and powerful way so it can be shared—now and in the future. Come with a memory and leave with a first draft and a clear sense of where to go next. The workshop will include time to learn\, practice writing techniques and an opportunity to share if you like. You’ll also go home with resources to continue working. \nRead more about presenter Leslie Schultz and discover her work at winonamedia.net. \nThis special workshop is free and open to the public\, made possible by a grant awarded from the Bruce Kramer Collaborative Foundation. \nFor questions or to secure your space in this workshop\, please RSVP to megan@northfieldartsguild.org by 12 p.m. Aug. 9\, 2018.
