SUMMARY:Main Gallery & Member Gallery Exhibits Open
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n“Color in Common”\nNew work by Lisa Anderson & Susan Feigenbaum\n\nJune 16 – July 16\, 2016\nThis exhibit features paintings by Lisa Anderson and sculptures by Susan Feigenbaum.  Meet the artists and learn more about their work at the Artist Reception on Friday\, June 24 from 7-9 pm. \n\nLisa Anderson Artist Statement: \nI love the process of putting paint on a canvas;  I work in acrylics because I can quickly achieve multiple layers. I am infatuated with squares and rectangles reminiscent of windows and doors\, and find sunlight through a window incredibly inspiring.  I’m intrigued and indirectly guided\, in my work\, by shapes and shadows cast at different times of the day. \nI am happiest when standing in my studio\, burst in hand about to start a new piece; those first few brush stokes are so exciting and full of hope. As layers\, colors\, and shapes take form\, I experience love\, hate\, awe\, frustration anxiety\, obsession\, and finally satisfaction and completion. I don’t love everything that I finish\, sometimes it seems I’ve simply liberated an idea. The resulting painting are chapters in my life’s story. \nSusan Feigenbaum Artist Statement: \nMy ceramic sculpture connects the world of our everyday perceptions with the subconscious world. I handbuild my forms from earthenware clay. Crackling with color and tactile surfaces\, my work is inspired by the unseen\, creating an uneasy balance between innocence and darkness. Inspired by an archive of life experience\, memory\, and the mystery of the subconscious\, my sculptural forms straddle the boundaries between the human\, the animal\, and the imagined. \n  \nMembers Gallery\n“Out And About”\nNew work by Elaine Schaffner\nJune 16 – July 16\, 2016\n  \n                   A View For Miles\n\nArtist Statement\nThe outdoors is an integral part of who I am. I aim to commemorate the beauty and serenity found in nature. I feel it is important to pause and appreciate our natural surroundings and remove ourselves from our manmade distractions. By putting these places and views on canvas\, I allow them to be appreciated again and again. Nostalgia brings me back to the rural landscapes that I took for granted as a child growing up on the family farm in northeast Iowa. More and more\, I am trekking out into nature with my plein air easel and oil paints to take on the challenge of painting outside and each time\, I am humbled by the task of capturing the immenseness of our big\, open spaces.” \nExhibition Sponsors: \n    \n\n2015-16 Gallery Season sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Decoding Famous Minnesotans
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nFace Time: Decoding Famous Minnesotans  \nJune 21\, 7:30 p.m. Northfield Arts Guild Theater\, 411 Third Street West \nTickets at the door cost $10 \nThe mystery surrounding Prince’s sudden\, early death adds a final chapter to a life where the border between public persona and private person was often fuzzy. But in that respect\, the shy\, very private Prince isn’t entirely unique as many a celebrity only sparingly offers clues as to who they really are. Minnesota has been historically blessed with many instances of world-class talent\, from the equally shy and private Charles Lindbergh – arguably the world’s first media celebrity and certainly Time magazine’s first Man of the Year – to Bob Dylan\, F. Scott Fitzgerald\, and the deliberately elusive Coen Brothers\, among other state-wide achievers. \nHere’s an opportunity to respectfully\, appreciatively pull back the curtain and better understand the personalities of a top 10 list of Minnesota greats thanks to the unique skills of locally-based\, internationally-renowned facial coding expert Dan Hill. His two Twin Cities performances\, entitled “Face Time: Decoding Famous Minnesotans\,” will feature the signature expressions – and related emotions – that provide a deeper\, surer grasp of these local celebrities and how they fit or don’t fit the state’s identity. The show will include select video and audio clips that help illustrate Hill’s observations. \nThe performer\, Dan Hill\, grew up in Northfield (class of 1978\, St. Olaf College class of ’82) and is the president of Twin-Cities based Sensory Logic\, Inc.\, a firm that specializes in capturing and analyzing emotional dynamics through the facial coding tool made famous by Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller Blink and Fox’s primetime hit TV series\, “Lie to Me.” Last year\, facial coding and the emotions it captures was the underlying basis for Pixar’s Inside Out movie\, which featured the feelings of a hockey-playing young girl from Minnesota. Hill has analyzed famous in-the-news people ranging from presidential contenders to white-collar criminals like Bernie Madoff for CNN\, Fox\, MSNBC\, NBC’s “The Today Show\,” The New York Times\, WSJ\, Politico\, Reuters Fast Company\, Inc.\, The Village Voice\, USA Today\, and Allure among other media outlets. \nHill’s business clients have included over 40% of the world’s top 100 consumer-oriented companies. One of Hill’s five books\, Emotionomics\, features a foreword by Sam Simon\, co-creator of “The Simpsons” and was chosen by Advertising Age as one of the top 10 must-read books of 2009. The book has been translated into over a dozen languages\, and Hill has spoken from coast-to-coast nationally as well as in more than 20 countries. In late 2014\, Hill’s use of facial coding to evaluate professional athletes for NBA and other sports teams was given front-page coverage in The New York Times. \nFor anybody who would like to become a better intuitive judge of people and situations\, “Face Time: Decoding Famous Minnesotans” is a must-see. Small clues known as micro-expressions reveal big truths about who people really are. Hidden in plain sight\, these tell-tale clues will be shared as tips in a fascinating\, enjoyable\, cutting- edge show that will enable audience members to hone their own powers of observation to improve their professional and private lives. After the show\, a brief question and answer period will provide a further opportunity for audience members to learn still more about how their fellow Minnesotans often\, oh so subtly emote! \n

SUMMARY:Main Gallery & Member Gallery Exhibitions Close
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n“Color in Common”\nNew work by Lisa Anderson & Susan Feigenbaum\n\nJune 16 – July 16\, 2016\nThis exhibit features paintings by Lisa Anderson and sculptures by Susan Feigenbaum.  Meet the artists and learn more about their work at the Artist Reception on Friday\, June 24 from 7-9 pm. \n\nLisa Anderson Artist Statement: \nI love the process of putting paint on a canvas;  I work in acrylics because I can quickly achieve multiple layers. I am infatuated with squares and rectangles reminiscent of windows and doors\, and find sunlight through a window incredibly inspiring.  I’m intrigued and indirectly guided\, in my work\, by shapes and shadows cast at different times of the day. \nI am happiest when standing in my studio\, burst in hand about to start a new piece; those first few brush stokes are so exciting and full of hope. As layers\, colors\, and shapes take form\, I experience love\, hate\, awe\, frustration anxiety\, obsession\, and finally satisfaction and completion. I don’t love everything that I finish\, sometimes it seems I’ve simply liberated an idea. The resulting painting are chapters in my life’s story. \nSusan Feigenbaum Artist Statement: \nMy ceramic sculpture connects the world of our everyday perceptions with the subconscious world. I handbuild my forms from earthenware clay. Crackling with color and tactile surfaces\, my work is inspired by the unseen\, creating an uneasy balance between innocence and darkness. Inspired by an archive of life experience\, memory\, and the mystery of the subconscious\, my sculptural forms straddle the boundaries between the human\, the animal\, and the imagined. \n  \nMembers Gallery\n“Out And About”\nNew work by Elaine Schaffner\nJune 16 – July 16\, 2016\n  \n                   A View For Miles\n\nArtist Statement\nThe outdoors is an integral part of who I am. I aim to commemorate the beauty and serenity found in nature. I feel it is important to pause and appreciate our natural surroundings and remove ourselves from our manmade distractions. By putting these places and views on canvas\, I allow them to be appreciated again and again. Nostalgia brings me back to the rural landscapes that I took for granted as a child growing up on the family farm in northeast Iowa. More and more\, I am trekking out into nature with my plein air easel and oil paints to take on the challenge of painting outside and each time\, I am humbled by the task of capturing the immenseness of our big\, open spaces.” \nExhibition Sponsors: \n    \n\n2015-16 Gallery Season sponsored by:

SUMMARY:"Small Comforts" Exhibit Opens
DESCRIPTION:The 2015-16 Gallery Season finishes with the “tiny” works of two Northfield Arts Guild members\, fiber artist Peggy Hanson and ceramic sculpturist Emily Haskell. \n \n\n\n“Small Comforts”\nNew work by Peggy Hanson & Emily Haskell\n\nJuly 21 – Aug 20\, 2016\nMeet the artists and learn more about their work at the Artist Reception on Friday\, Aug 5 from 7-9 pm. \n\nPeggy Hanson Artist Statement: \nI enjoy looking at the world in terms of images I can create with embroidery floss. Once an idea occurs\, I search for drawings of the image I have envisioned. After sizing it appropriately\, I transfer the image onto the linen and begin stitching. Embroidery is very forgiving and that’s one of the many things I love about it. \nEmily Haskell Artist Statement: \nI love to play with texture and color using carving\, underglazes\, and glazes to alter the surface of my work. The not quite predictable results in firing keep me intrigued and delighted; if a glaze crawls\, crackles or has a weird texture-I seek to incorporate it into my work.  My work since college has revealed that I have a bit of an obsession with things that provide shelter (boxes\, umbrellas\, blanket\, etc.). These tiny abodes in this exhibition allow me to indulge that infatuation\, while also playing with surface texture and color. \n  \nMembers Gallery\nNew work by Karna Hauck & Katherine Norrie\n\nJuly 21 – Aug 20\, 2016\n  \nKarna Hauck Artist Statement:\nThe concept of mindfulness challenges us to focus\, without distraction\, on whatever is right before us.  My intention is to be mindful whenever I am engaged with my art.  As a public school art teacher\, intentionality is a practice that I often get to observe in young people. There is both a beauty and vulnerability in these moments and our teacher/student roles at times reverse.  I become the learner of what I observe to be an uninhibited creative act.  This open approach to creativity is delightfully familiar to me as an artist and informs my art making process. \nHowever\, mindfulness can be difficult to achieve.  When creating this series\, I found myself naturally drawn to birds.  This seems to be a recurrent theme in my life.  For me\, birds symbolize a curious freedom with the physical space they occupy.  They enjoy a vantage point that is not my own and I imbue their world with limitless discovery.  I see a kinship between my students’ unfettered approach to artwork and my imagined life of birds.  And with their lesson\, now I fly. \nKatherine Norrie Artist Statement: \nKatherine Norrie has been a visual art teacher at Northfield High School for the past 17 years.  Norrie grew up on a farm just outside of Hector\, Minnesota (roughly 85 miles west of the Twin Cities).  Norrie went to St. Olaf and graduated in 1999 with a studio art major and a K-12 art education license.  Norrie finished her Masters degree in education in 2005 at Hamline University.  Norrie enjoys printmaking\, jewelry design and mixed media pieces that incorporate pen\, watercolor and acrylic paint.  Norrie focuses on her love of flowers\, the ideas around raising two young boys\, as well as her rural Minnesota upbringing to create her current pieces. She lives in Northfield with her husband Jonathan and their two young sons: Emmett (9) and Wyatt (6). \nBeing a teacher is a wonderful thing.  I get to help young people find their path and passion and I help to steer them in the directions of their dreams.  I am often amazed at how many students are touched by visual art and it is often the only part of their hectic teenage lives that gives them pleasure and focus.  At the end of the school day it is hard to find my own creative drive because I feel like I have just given it away to 100+ students for nine months.  It is during the summer months that I am able to focus on my artwork and really recharge my batteries for the next school year.  I have taken week-long art classes at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design for the past five years and these classes have been an amazing opportunity for me to explore what  my own art making is all about.  I have been able to explore printmaking\, digital art and mixed media collage which have all found their way into my current ideas \nI am excited to show you what I have been up to for the past few years.  I have been busy raising two boys and much of my work has been inspired by the tangled-mess that motherhood has brought into my life.  Before I had children I had a much more defined and clean-cut view of what my life would be\, and since having a family with small people I realize that nothing can be planned or perfect.  I guess that fact of life being a roller coaster of changes was always true and always present\, but having a young son up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache or a summer deer tick infection are things that can’t be planned for or comprehended before it is part of your life.  My pieces are soft\, beautiful\, meditative\, tangled\, messy\, intricate\, and colorful which I believe is all part of motherhood and my life at this point! \n\n\nExhibition Sponsor: \n \n\n2015-16 Gallery Season sponsored by:\n\n\n\n

She lives in Northfield with her husband Jonathan and their two young sons: Emmett (9) and Wyatt (6). \nBeing a teacher is a wonderful thing.  I get to help young people find their path and passion and I help to steer them in the directions of their dreams.  I am often amazed at how many students are touched by visual art and it is often the only part of their hectic teenage lives that gives them pleasure and focus.  At the end of the school day it is hard to find my own creative drive because I feel like I have just given it away to 100+ students for nine months.  It is during the summer months that I am able to focus on my artwork and really recharge my batteries for the next school year.  I have taken week-long art classes at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design for the past five years and these classes have been an amazing opportunity for me to explore what  my own art making is all about.  I have been able to explore printmaking\, digital art and mixed media collage which have all found their way into my current ideas \nI am excited to show you what I have been up to for the past few years.  I have been busy raising two boys and much of my work has been inspired by the tangled-mess that motherhood has brought into my life.  Before I had children I had a much more defined and clean-cut view of what my life would be\, and since having a family with small people I realize that nothing can be planned or perfect.  I guess that fact of life being a roller coaster of changes was always true and always present\, but having a young son up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache or a summer deer tick infection are things that can’t be planned for or comprehended before it is part of your life.  My pieces are soft\, beautiful\, meditative\, tangled\, messy\, intricate\, and colorful which I believe is all part of motherhood and my life at this point! \n\n\nExhibition Sponsor: \n \n\n2015-16 Gallery Season sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Birds & Nature Opens
DESCRIPTION:    \nBirds & Nature\nPrints by LifeWorks/ A+ Aspire artists and support partners\nAug 11  – Sept 12\nThe LifeWorks/ A+ Aspire program provides a well structured\, safe social environment for individuals\n(age 16+) with developmental disabilities. The 8-week summer session program\, based on the model for the Guild’s popular A+ Art Club\, brings together local professional artists\, art educators along with\ncommunity volunteers and assistant A+ Art Club Members. Participants share in the experience of\nart-making\, friendship and trust. They learn the value of collaboration\, being open to new ideas\, while developing social and life skills in a supportive setting. \nThis summer\, the nine participants each chose their favorite bird image from some amazing books\, and through practice\, watching the teacher and their support partner demonstrate\, sketched it using their newly acquired sketching techniques. \nWith their original drawing taped under a piece of plexiglass\, they etched/ scratched the bird image into the plate using a metal etching tool. New methods for both participants and support partners! \nThe third week it was time to ink the plate\, soak their 100% rag paper\, and wipe the plate- an art in itself! The actual printed image was made by setting the damp paper over the inked plate on the steel bed of the press\, covering it will wool felt blankets\, and running it all under great pressure through the press. Some participants really loved the opportunity to turn the big press wheel by hand. It took lots of strength! \nVoila\, what fun EVERY participant had seeing their wonderfully drawn images on the print they turned up-they were so elated! They eagerly tried printing their plate in different colors with varied wiping techniques. Their support partners had guided or demonstrated by trying not to draw on their plates\, so each artist had that great sense of pride of accomplishment that comes from doing something well on their own. Were they proud\, as well they should be\, and a good time was had by all! \nTestimonials from Lifeworks/ A+ Aspire Participants \n“The LifeWorks/A+ Aspire program has been a wonderful experience for my daughter.  Given she has few words and fewer interests I was excited for her to have the opportunity to learn of different ways to express herself.  As a parent it was wonderful for me to see how the different mediums we worked with in our class reached her. Although she’s hesitant to use her fine motor skills it was fascinating to see how much effort she made when we did our etchings and how quickly she put her brush to paper when we worked with water colors.  The day we learned how to move our bodies working in high\, middle and low space at fast and slow was great for her given her most common movements are rehearsed and very repetitious.  She even created some new moves of her own and was applauded by the group for doing so. \nThe added benefit to the class was the focus which was put on community building within the group and total acceptance of all of the participants.  We spent valuable time each week getting to know each other in our opening circle and my daughter enjoyed having that “Face time” with the other participants as we shared our likes and dislikes and shared bits of information about ourselves.  She will miss the camaraderie of this group but looks forward to A+ Aspire’s next session.” \n-Kerste’s Mom \n“Chris has been attending Laura Goodwin’s art classes at the Northfield Arts Guild for four years now\, with a group from Hastings LifeWorks\, and I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to join the group as a volunteer.  The classes at the Arts Guild have been a highlight in Chris’ summers.  The classes offer some great opportunity for exploring art and movement\, and also provide experiences that help to build self-esteem\, communication and social skills.  Laura is a gifted artist and a wonderful instructor\, and she brings in some really interesting guest artists.  Volunteers from the A+ program contribute so much to our program and we appreciate their presence and the gifts they share.  This year\, teaming with A+ Aspire has been fun; it was great to meet and to work together with new friends.”\n-Chris’ Mom \n“I loved it!” – Tanya\n“I really liked the team builders!”  -Jacob\n“It was so fun to learn and try new things!” -Katie\n“It was a very good experience!” -Mel\n“Amazing program!”  -Rocky\n“Very impressive\, I hope this type of programming will continue!” -Jiao\n“Fun program!” -Sam\n“I loved getting to know everyone!” -Aria \nExhibit Sponsor: \n \n2016-17 Season Sponsor:
