Youth Listening Project: Seeing Through It All and Making a Change
The NorthPoint Youth Listening Project (a program of Northside Health & Wellness Center's Innovation Team) presents Seeing Through It All and Making a Change - a photography exhibit. Four recent graduates of North Community High School and Dunwoody Academy use a strategy called Photovoice to bring to the center of attention their visual perspectives of both positive and negative aspects of North Minneapolis. These unique pictures, some of recognizable sites on the Northside, tell stories from young persons' points of view about the existence of healthy living models, or lack thereof, in the community. Their images strive to open the eyes of local residents, community leaders, policymakers and decision makers to problems and resources seen everyday but all too often ignored.
Mentor/instructor for this program - Bill Cottman.
The young community activists will use their photographic artwork to advocate for achievable change they hope to see on the Northside.
Thursday, September 9 - Tuesday, September 28, 2010

MARK GRANLUND: The Book of Bartholowmew - Paintings & Illustrations
The paintings and illustrations of Saint Paul artist Mark Granlund's stories found in The Book of Bartholomew will be on display in our gallery. Mark's crazy and heart-felt stories about the life of Bartholomew and his friends provide the inspiration for the work in this show. From large oil paintings to small ink sketches, the work observes familiar subjects in the stories: chickens, kale, giants, love's inflamed passion, and much more.
Also on display will be illustrations of these stories by other artists, examples of the book's layout, and a viewing of The Book of Bartholomew website.
Opening Reception Friday, October 8th from 6p to 9p
Gallery Reading Tuesday, October 12th beginning at 7p

ROSE KADERA: Witness to A Miracle
Rose writes from her studio in the woods near Two Harbors: My journey with the north woods continues with a focus on the beauty of autumn, death and the decaying process that occurs continuously as part of the miracle and beauty of life.
I continue to explore a variety of techniques and processes as I present:
~~ a group of sculptures based on the tree, investigating both its figurative and its decay aspects,
~~ a group of relief sculptures called Landscape in a Bowl, which become the picture frames for the artwork,
~~ a group of cremation urns,
~~ primitive sawdust-fired pieces, and
~~ a bit of functional stoneware.
The ideas for this exhibit evolved out of my walks and my experiences. In the past few years, I have been both witness and companion to family and friends engaged in battles with severe illnesses and journeys with the dying processes. As I was trying to make sense of the grief, alongside the beauty of another phase of life, I became acutely aware of the splendor of dying and decay in the forest and its beauty reached out to me.
Opening Reception - Friday, October 22nd from 6p to 9p
Gallery Talk - Tuesday, November 2nd beginning at 7p

BRIT SALMELA: New & Selected Work
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.
Brit currently resides in North Minneapolis and is studying for her Masters of Landscape Architecture on a fellowship from the University of Minnesota.
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.
Soon we will have news about her opening and gallery talk dates...

TREUTING, GILBERT, FOUTCH: Flow
Three artists have come to realize a common theme in their work - that of flow - in nature, water, creativity and life's energy.
Deborah Foutch is an artist whose palette, sense of line, light, and space, is deeply informed by the landscape she grew up in. The rhythm of seasonal change, the flow of rivers, the roll of land, the grace of trees, and the constant variety of light are recurring subjects.
Maris Gilbert's current work developed out of years of looking at and really seeing/experiencing nature, blending her roots in Florida with the growth and changing seasons of Minnesota. Her paintings explore the flow of energy and the spiritual in water, trees and the human form. Stillness and energy coexist in forms that are both grounded and forever reaching.
Kristen Treuting is a gourd artist who explores the theme of flow in her gourd vessels and containers. She finds the sense of flow in the shapes and forms of the gourds themselves, and in her abstractions of water, rocks, leaves and other natural inspirations.
Details about opening reception and artists' talk following...
Tuesday, March 1 - Thursday, March 31, 2011
