Great Lakes Almanac

Day one of installation complete! The main art pieces of Great Lakes Almanac are up on the walls . Today, the community component gets hung: kids artwork and survey question and answers. I am excited to share the project with the community!

More photos to come.

As always, THANK YOU to the Aquarium for welcoming me into the museum and for supporting this project. And thank you ti and the Minnesota State Arts Board for awarding me the Project and Creative Support grants that helped make this happen. This support is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota thanks ti a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

One month to go! My exhibit will be installed June 1, with a celebration on June 15, 6-8pm that is free and open to the public.

I’m excited to share the body of work that grew out of a year’s worth of engagement with Aquarium visitors. Also on view will be art made by many of the kids I met and an interactive display of the questions and responses from participants of my project.

And once again, I am super grateful to Great Lakes Aquarium, and Minnesota State Arts Board and of course, all of the participants.

I’ve been away from for some time! It has been a busy month with other art activities, travel and being in production mode for the summer exhibition of Great Lakes Almanac.
I will be back soon! SATURDAYS, MARCH 18 and 25, from 10am - 1pm.
See you there!

Last month , my inquiry about observing animal tracks inspired some great drawings! My eye’s have been open while out and about…

The paw track was found in our front yard this am. At first I got excited about wild creatures stopping by in the night…no, I am pretty sure that’s our neighbor, Hershey.
And I’ve been making my own tracks out on the wild trails of Duluth.
