Seven recipients of VSA Minnesota’s 2011 Emerging Artists Grant will have their work exhibited September 13-29 at Homewood Studios Gallery, 2400 Plymouth Avenue North, Minneapolis. Each artist received a $1,500 grant earlier this year, funded by the Jerome Foundation, to help them create new work, and this exhibit shows some of that new work – including drawings, paintings, mosaics, fiction and non-fiction stories, and long-form performance poetry.
Artists include: from Minneapolis: Steven Accola, Visual Art; Ethan Heidlebaugh, Visual Art; Lane McKiernan, Writing; from Chisago City: Tracy Gulliver, Writing; from Eveleth: Nancy Miller, Visual Art; from Rosemount: Andrea T. Langworthy, Writing; and from Mankato: James Van Amber, Writing.
An Opening Reception will be held Friday, September 14, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM; a Reading with the artists will be offered Tuesday, September 18, 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Refreshments will be available, work is for sale, and ASL interpreting and Audio Description are available if requested a week in advance from VSA Minnesota. VSA Minnesota’s policy is to make our events fragrance-free. Please refrain from wearing scented products.
Gallery hours are Tuesday 5-9 PM, Wednesday and Friday 1-6 PM, and Saturday 1-4 PM. For more information about Homewood Studios, go to www.homewoodstudios.com or call 612-587-0230.
