SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live\, virtual Artist Reception on Thursday\, January 14 from 6:30-7:30 pm to celebrate three artists: Anne Rynearson\, Mary Welke and Julie Fakler. Attendees will be able to ask questions of the artists\, and see a slideshow of artwork while hearing from each of the participating artists. \nCLICK HERE TO JOIN THE VIRTUAL RECEPTION \nEmail heather@northfieldartsguild.org with any questions! \n\nSEE EXHIBITION CATALOG\nWATCH EXHIBITION VIRTUAL TOUR\n\n“Nature: Seen and Unseen” features recent artwork by Anne Rynearson and Mary Welke. \nThe inspiration for Rynearson’s current series on canvas and paper is informed by her interests in natural processes and forms\, as well as research into areas of cosmology\, philosophy\, mythical narratives\, mysticism and symbolism in visual art. These concepts and image references share themes that involve shifting reality\, altered states of perception and fantastic journeys or destinations. \nMary Welke’s mixed media paintings explore both the physicality and fragile nature of prairie renewal\, farmland restoration\, and soil health as she interprets these ideas into her latest art techniques. Her work has a playful and whimsical quality as she moves from delicate line work to heavily collaged prairie ash and organic matter embedded onto some of her pieces. Others\, she simply burned with a torch. \nAnne Rynearson and Mary Welke are each fiscal year 2020 recipients of an Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature\, and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. \n\nIn the “Paint a Portrait of Your Pet” exhibition Julie Fakler is displaying her example paintings from the Paint Your Pet classes she facilitates. For every class she teaches she creates an example painting\, which generally takes her 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Julie teaches the pet portrait classes step-by-step\, giving instruction for every step before the students start painting. Most of the class time is spent giving each student individual attention. \nJulie will be offering a Paint Your Pet class at the Guild along with this exhibition on Saturday\, Jan 30 from 1-3 pm.  This class is open to youth and adults\, and beginning painters are welcome! \nJulie Fakler is a fiscal year 2021 recipient of a Creative Support for Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. \n2020-21 Gallery Season Sponsor:

SUMMARY:All School Art Show: Creativity is Essential! opens
DESCRIPTION:ALL SCHOOL ART SHOW:\nCREATIVITY IS ESSENTIAL\nFEB 11-MARCH 6\, 2021\n  \n\nEvery 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. \nMuch 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. \nIn 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. \n\n \nE-magination Celebration (Feb 27\, 11 am-1 pm)\non the Guild’s Facebook and YouTube pages \nThe Guild invites our community to E-magination Celebration\, a free day of online programming including Gallery Tours\, Arts Making and performances from 11 am to 1 pm on Saturday\, February 27\, 2021. This family-friendly online event is a virtual re-imagining of the Guild’s annual Imagination Celebration that can be enjoyed from home.  The Guild is thrilled to continue this annual tradition in a new\, virtual setting. Follow along on the Guild’s Facebook and YouTube pages with new content added regularly throughout the celebration\, or watch later as all of the videos will remain online. \nPERFORMANCES Watch Dancing Through the Storm 2020 and highlights from the Project Purple Door Youth Theater production of The Importance of Being Earnest in a Pandemic . \nGALLERY TOURS A highlight of E-magination Celebration will be a series of videos of teacher reflections\, digital student artwork\, and a tour of Creativity is Essential\, this year’s All School Art Show installed in our Main Gallery. \nART MAKING Make your own art at home throughout the day! Guided arts activities will be released throughout the day to paint\, draw and create your own art using everyday household items. \nEven in this time of social distancing\, the Guild embraces our mission to serve our community with a rich array of inclusive arts opportunities and experiences. We hope you will join us for ­E-magination Celebration\, and also follow us on social media to enjoy arts learning and arts engagement activities. \n\n\n\n2020-21 Gallery Season Sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll School Art Show sponsors:\n

SUMMARY:"I Know I'm Home When..." Exhibition Opens
DESCRIPTION:I KNOW I’M HOME WHEN…\n\nAPRIL 15-MAY 15\, 2021\n\n\nWe held a live\, Virtual Artist Reception to celebrate the artists in the “I Know I’m Home When…” exhibition on Thursday\, April 29 from 6:30-7:30 pm. Attendees were able to ask questions of the artists\, and see a slideshow of artwork while hearing from participating artists. \nWATCH A RECORDING OF THE VIRTUAL RECEPTION \nQuestions? email heather@northfieldartsguild.org \n\nI Know I’m Home When…features artists with strong ties to Northfield whose work calls us to reflect on how we experience and envision our community.  Inspired by audio testimonies recorded by Cecilia Cornejo and her multiplatform project The Wandering House\, the exhibition harnesses the power of community to interrogate notions of belonging through a variety of media. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is a Community Quilt comprised of quotes gleaned from audio testimonies recorded by Northfield residents in 2019 through The Wandering House project. All the quotes respond to the prompt “I Know I’m Home When…” and were carefully embroidered by 60 community members—embroidery artists and enthusiasts alike—working in close collaboration with Cecilia Cornejo. The participants in this project met periodically over Zoom to exchange embroidery tips\, techniques\, and ideas and in so doing\, created a place of joy and connection at a time marked by isolation and uncertainty. \nI Know I’m Home When… also includes the work of artists working in painting\, photography\, time-based media\, artist books\, ceramics\, and prints. As a whole the show offers multiple points of entry for audiences to reflect and envision ways to create places where everyone feels heard\, seen\, and valued. \nFeatured regional artists: Allison Albright (painting)\, Cecilia Cornejo (social practice\, public art\, time-based media)\, Megan Dwyer (prints)\, Toni Easterson (artist books)\, Gail Gates (photography)\, Hannah Hamalian (time-based media)\, Thomas Hardy (painting)\, Riki Kölbl Nelson (painting)\, Joanna Manning (ceramics)\, Heriberto Rosas (photography and time-based media) and Ian Turnage-Butterbaugh (photography). \nThe Embroidery Project/Community Quilt participants: Connie Albers\, Molly Andrews\, Katie Arnold\, Louisa Ballinger\, Debra Beck\, Vanessa Bodrie\, Annie Boehm\, Laurel Bradley\, Cecilia Cornejo\, Suzanne Daehlin\, Patsy Dew\, Angelique Dietz\, Joan Ennis\, Kristina Felbeck\, Cortney Fischer\, Lucy Gonzáles Mirón\, Clarice Grenier Grabau\, Hannah Hamalian\, Patricia Johnson\, Margit Johnson\, Jessica Keating\, Brenda Keilen\, Alec Lavoi\, Heather Lawrenz\, Virginia Lorang\, Arielle Loy\, Diane Lyman\, Kellie Lyman\, Allie Lyman\, Natalia Marchan\, Kristal McNamara\, Amy Merritt\, MurphyKate Montee\, Ayaka Moriyama\, Gaby Muñoz\, Liora Newman\, Kate Niemisto\, Chely Og\, Jacque Oman Clinton\, Kristin Partlo\, Jessica Peterson White\, Wendy Placko\, Wanda Playter\, Mary Jean Roberts\, Lorraine Rovig\, Emily Scharf\, Jacyn Schmidt\, Anna Schumacher\, Lisa Sexton\, Yemi Shin\, Marja Steinberg\, Betty Suárez\, Jean Vick\, Jennifer Welbaum\, Candace Wilkinson\, Jennifer Williams Toth\, Erica Zweifel and Christof Zweifel + Cindy Starkey Robinson\, expert quilter. \n\nCecilia Cornejo is an inaugural recipient of the 2020 McKnight Fellowship for Community-Engaged Artists.
