Gala Reception - Friday, February 26th from 6p to 9p. Everyone welcome.
From Tony Roberts:
What a wonderful collection of amazing work. Sifting through the history of Homewood Studios was eye opening. Visiting the artists in their studios during the opening reception was a treat. This show renews excitement about what has happened here over the last 10 years and heightens anticipation about what will happen over the next 10.

COMMUNITY VALUES CONVERSATION: Diversity - A View from a New Shore
Bob Colbert and Guest Artist Chico Perez Diversity: A View from a New Shore
Bob Colbert has over 30 years of experience in the corporate world. His approach to diversity was developed and honed from encounters he and many others faced during their time in the private sector. His basic premise suggests we as human beings struggle with change and variation, challenges that impede our ability to accept and value one another. To build sustainable diversity, our challenge is to find answers to an overlooked question, "How do we compensate for the human condition as it contends with change and variation?" Currently, Bob is Director of Finance at Luther Seminary. He has an MBA from the University of Minnesota, and is holder of a CPA certificate and U.S. patent. In addition, he teaches Tai Chi in the Minneapolis community and currently serves on two non-profit boards: Cammack Marshall Fund for Children and Freedom Train, Inc.
Chico Perez is a long-time percussionist who has performed both locally and nationally for over 40 years. As a member of Gypsy, he is a Minnesota Music Hall of Fame inductee. Chico performs locally with New Primitives, a four-time Minnesota Music Awards winner for Best Reggae Band. In addition, he teaches percussion in the Twin Cities from the Afro-Cuban tradition and conducts workshops that celebrate the use of rhythms and harmonies to build community.
The evening's conversation will investigate the beauty and challenges of building inclusive societies. Following a 90 minute conversation, we will use the next hour to explore the topic by engaging in a drum circle.
6:30 to 9 o'clock in the gallery

RON BROWN: New Work
"How does an artist, influenced in the development of his work by hip-hop ideals, begin to question those very ideals?" So asked Ron Brown in his conversation with us about his first show at Homewood Studios.
Look for an interesting show in which a hip-hop vocabulary is used by Ron to explore notions about whether Hip-hop is dead; if so, what might replace it, and if not, how to reinvigorate it.
Details about opening reception and gallery talk, plus the possibility of a community/family workshop following soon...
Sunday, August 1 - Tuesday, August 31, 2010
MAXIN WEST: The Spoon Project
Another artist who has had shows in the past at Homewood Studios, Chrys Laramy, introduced us to the work of Maxine West.
We enjoyed our conversation with Maxine about her work and about her interest in a show in our gallery. While she does other things, the spoon project drawings are something new.
Look for more about this show and about the opening reception and gallery talk dates quite soon...

Brit Salmela grew up in northern Minnesota, the youngest daughter of the architect, David Salmela. She graduated cum laude and with department honors from the University of Minnesota Duluth, earning a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Studio degree in 2009.
Architecture has a large presence in her life and has undoubtedly inspired her body of artistic work in media including drawing, painting and sculpture.

We have had the pleasure of viewing Brit's portfolio. Her work in magnetic, colorful, inventive with materials, full of the unexpected, and technically accomplished.
