SUMMARY:Free Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Free Lunch & Learn Opportunity: \nEat\, relax\, and be transported by the power of storytelling! Jean Wakely leads guests through The Jewell Wolk Story Quilt Project\, a collection of 11 story quilts created over a period of 20 years by Jewell Wolk (1924-2011) of Cut Bank\, Montana. The quilts depict a wide scope of topics from Jewell’s childhood memories\, her children’s lives\, women’s history and biblical storytelling. Jewell left her quilts to her eldest daughter\, Jean\, who manages the project in Jewell’s honor. At each hour-long Lunch and Learn\, Jean will share Jewell’s artistic process and cover the stories included in one of her mother’s quilts\, including time for questions from attendees. Guests should bring a bag lunch. Space is limited; please reserve your seat by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org or call 507-645-8877 \nJanuary 18 11:30-12:30 The Time & Life of Ruth quilt\nJanuary 25 11:30-12:30 Women of the Plains quilt\nFebruary 4 11:30-12:30 The Purple Sandwich quilt \nJewell Wolk \nJewell was a student of life\, a teacher at heart\, and a curious person about life. She was also an extraordinary artist and creative storyteller. Born in 1924 to a German sodbuster farmer\, Henry Otto Peterson and schoolmarm\, Mary Blyth Peterson\, Jewell was their third child of five.  Jewell attended country school and Cut Bank High School.  After high school\, she was a telephone operator for the Cut Bank party line system.  Jewell married Robert Walter Wolk and they raised seven children in Cut Bank.  She found her quilting passion after her seven children left home. She was a strong believer in the art form of storytelling\, which she felt was becoming lost in the multi-media age. \nEach new quilt that Jewell made started with a question\, launching Jewell on a research adventure. It would take her one to three years to fully develop the theme of each quilt. \nAs Jewell entered her 80’s\, she was going blind\, and eventually had to pack away her fabric\, thread and needles and stop making her story quilts. The object of her quilts is not perfection in art nor in stitch\, but in the story it depicts. \nEach quilt tells a story\, taking about 45 minutes to cover. Her quilts have traveled extensively\, have been widely published and documented\, and have been used for many storytelling events. Her daughter Jean is creating a booklet for each quilt\, and presents a portion of the collection in this Storied Design exhibition. \nJean Wakely \nJean’s storytelling with her mother’s quilts has taken her across the county to many quilter and museum programs. Jean is currently creating booklets documenting each of her mother’s quilts and the stories they tell.  To book Jean as a speaker\, to find out more information about the quilts\, visit www.StoryQuiltProject.com

SUMMARY:Give to the Max Day!
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your support of the Northfield Arts Guild!  Please consider a gift TODAY!\n \n10 Reasons to Support the Arts from www.AmericansfortheArts.org\n1. Arts promote true prosperity. The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us— fostering creativity\, goodness\, and beauty. The arts help us express our values\, build bridges between cultures\, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity\, religion\, or age. When times are tough\, art is salve for the ache.\n2. Arts improve academic performance. Students with an education rich in the arts have higher GPAs and standardized test scores\, and lower drop-out rates—benefits reaped by students regardless of socio-economic status. Students with 4 years of arts or music in high school average 100 points better on their SAT scores than students with just one-half year of arts or music.\n3. Arts strengthen the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the arts and culture sector represents 3.25 percent of the nation’s GDP—a larger share of the economy than tourism and agriculture. The nonprofit arts industry alone generates $135 billion in economic activity annually (spending by organizations and their audiences) that supports 4.1 million jobs and generates $22.3 billion in government revenue.\n4. Arts are good for local merchants. Attendees at nonprofit arts events spend $24.60 per person\, per event\, beyond the cost of admission on items such as meals\, parking\, and babysitters. Attendees who live outside the county in which the arts event takes place spend twice as much as their local counterparts ($39.96 vs. $17.42)—valuable revenue for local businesses and the community.\n5. Arts drive tourism. Arts travelers are ideal tourists\, staying longer and spending more to seek out authentic cultural experiences. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that the percentage of international travelers including museum visits on their trip has grown steadily since 2003 (18 to 24 percent). The share attending concerts and theater performances has grown from 14 to 17 percent since 2003.\n6. Arts are an export industry. U.S. exports of arts goods (e.g.\, movies\, paintings\, jewelry) grew to $72 billion in 2011\, while imports were just $25 billion—a $47 billion arts trade surplus.\n7. Arts spark creativity and innovation. The Conference Board reports that creativity is among the top 5 applied skills sought by business leaders—with 72 percent saying creativity is of high importance when hiring. The biggest creativity indicator? A college arts degree. Their Ready to Innovate report concludes\, “The arts—music\, creative writing\, drawing\, dance—provide skills sought by employers of the 3rd millennium.” Nobel laureates in the sciences are 17 times more likely to be actively engaged in the arts than average scientists.\n8. Arts have social impact. University of Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a high concentration of the arts in a city leads to higher civic engagement\, more social cohesion\, higher child welfare\, and lower poverty rates. A vibrant arts community ensures that young people are not left to be raised solely in a pop culture and tabloid marketplace.\n9. Arts improve healthcare. Nearly one-half of the nation’s healthcare institutions provide arts programming for patients\, families\, and even staff. 78 percent deliver these programs because of their healing benefits to patients—shorter hospital stays\, better pain management\, and less medication.\n10. Arts mean business. The Creative Industries are arts businesses that range from nonprofit museums\, symphonies\, and theaters to for-profit film\, architecture\, and design companies. A 2014 analysis of Dun & Bradstreet data counts 750\,453 businesses in the U.S. involved in the creation or distribution of the arts that employ 3.1 million people—representing 4.2 percent of all businesses and 2.2 percent of all employees\, respectively.

SUMMARY:ADA Retrospective Performance for Mature Audiences
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multi-genre\, “for mature audiences only” performance featuring artists of all abilities as they share their work and dive into often hidden narratives of the disability experience\, including relationships\, romance\, and sex. \nBUY TICKETS \nIn order to be as financially accessible as possible\, this performance features Radical Hospitality\, a concept pioneered by Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis. A small portion of event tickets may be purchased ahead of time for guaranteed admission\, but the majority of the tickets will be available at the door. Patrons will be asked when they arrive  “What do you want to pay today?” Answers can be as little as zero or as much as a million dollars (we wish!). We strive to be inclusive of all members of our community\, welcome those who may never have attended a performance with us before\, and encourage those who are financially able to help us support this vital concept of arts for all. The box office will open 1 hour prior to the performance. \nAccess accommodations\, such as ASL interpretation\, assistive listening devices\, large print programs\, and audio description\, will be available for both ADA Retrospective performances. No reservations are necessary. \nArtists include\nNarrative storytelling\, “An Open Letter to the Men of Craigslist\,” by Alison Bergblom Johnson\nAlison Bergblom Johnson writes true stories that focus on women’s lives\, telling stories that buoy insiders and educate outsiders. She gives words and weight particularly to experiences of sexual violence and mental illness\, aiming to replace myths with knowledge from lived experiences. Fiction Fix\, Burly Bird\, and Diverse Voices Quarterly\, among others\, have published her work. She’s read her writing at the Walker Art Center and 7th Street Entry. Bergblom Johnson writes creative nonfiction and narrative performance art. Fiction Fix\, Burly Bird\, and Diverse Voices Quarterly\, among others\, have published her nonfiction. She was a resident of the Arts Retreat at the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center and at the Vermont Studio Center. She has performed her work at the Walker Art Center and 7th Street Entry. Her one-woman show\, Other Than Tragedy\, and a group show in resistance to sexual violence premiered in the Minnesota Fringe Festival. Her work focuses on neglected personal stories about the past that intersect with the present. \nDance pieces by Michael Cohn\, Brian J. Evans\, and J-Sun\n \n\nMike Cohn\, dancer/choreographer\, “My Life:” Watch as Mike moves and shows how life can be free as we move with music by Lisa Heffter.\n“The Show Must Go On” by Brian Evans\, who will dance\, sing and play guitar.\nJ-sun and Crew will perform a Hip Hop dance.\nMike\, Brian\, J-sun and Charley take you on action packed 5 minute drive. See how cold people can be during the action of taking a selfie. Music edited by J-sun. Story designed by Mike Cohn.\nMike will perform 2 dances\, “Uptown Funk” (music by Bruno Mars\, et. al) and “I Can’t Dance” (music by Genesis). One dance shows a side of the dance world that may not be viewed in the eye of the disability community every day. The final dance will challenge movement in a new way for Mike.\n\nMichael Cohn was born in Iowa and raised in the Twin cities.  Originally he started dancing as a form of therapy and socialization in 2010 and found over time that he has learned techniques and skills that have broadened his scope of dance. He brings a slight twist with his dancing as he utilizes a walker and sometimes a dance wheelchair to help him move across the dance floor.Mike Cohn recently stared a dance company. I Can Dance You Can Dance. \nBrian J. Evans is a Professional Performing Human. For the past eight years\, Evans has had the privilege and pleasure of engaging in a vast array of fields. Teaching in public and private institutions\, working with healthcare providers in the US and abroad\, performing as singer\, actor\, dancer in churches\, theaters\, basements\, outdoor stages\, any space provided that encourages the arts to thrive. An artist striving for social justice\, Evans places high value in process and product\, having had most of his training out in the ‘Arts field’ of the Twin Cities\, working with over 50 artistic directors on more than 200 projects from solo endeavors to collaborating as a self-employed professional performer & teaching artist. Primarily as a principle dancer and musical director for Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater\, Evans has continued to investigate the idea that connections exist between us all and it’s the responsibility of the Arts to rediscover those connections\, highlight them to allow us to feel holistically human. \nJ-Sun is a teacher and community leader in the Twin Cities; a competitor and an academic\, recipient of the 2013 Sage Award for Outstanding Performance and consultant for The Annual Groundbreaker Battle. He instructs traditional movement with historical moments as a veteran practitioner of breaking and toprocking. \nNarrative storytelling by Amy Salloway \nActor/writer/storyteller Amy Salloway has been called “kick-ass funny and achingly poignant\,” “raw and fearless\,” and “gifted at mining humor where others might see only darkness”.  Her three autobiographical solo comedies (“Does This Monologue Make Me Look Fat?\,”  “So Kiss Me Already\, Herschel Gertz!\,” and “Circumference”) all began their lives at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and have gone on to tour to Fringes\, theatres\, colleges\, communities and festivals across the US and Canada\, winning some pretty nice awards along the way; her two-person play\, “Entwined”\, hopes to travel beyond Minnesota eventually as well.  Amy has contributed stories to MPR’s “In the Loop” radio show\, CBC’s “Definitely Not The Opera” (sort of the Canadian equivalent of “This American Life”) and the national podcast “Risk!”.  She was a founding member of the popular narrative collective Rockstar Storytellers\, a two-time recipient of the VSA Artist Initiative grant\, and has won the St. Paul Moth and the SlamMN! story slam once each.  Amy teaches classes in memoir\, creative writing\, storytelling and other more specific subtopics through Minneapolis Community Ed and sometimes Story Arts Minnesota\, and performs regularly on just about every spoken-word-oriented stage in Minneapolis.  For even more info\, check out Amy’s embarrassingly stagnant website www.amysalloway.com\, or the much more responsibly-managed www.facebook.com/awkwardmomentonstage. \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\n\n\n\nThe Artists Disabling Assumptions exhibition is sponsored by:
