Join the artists for an opening celebration with family-friendly activities and light snacks on Saturday, April 20 from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

Together is a mixed media art exhibition featuring artwork from ten Minnesota artist families of diverse ages and family structures who have created individual and communal work for the exhibition. Artists Emmett and Kit Ramstad conceived this project to elevate children’s artwork and provide a space for parent artists to support each other as they fulfill the roles of parents and artists while raising a new generation of makers. Together uplifts mixed generational creativity by showcasing artists who have contributed hugely to Minnesota’s artistic community and their children who are integral influences to their practice.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
Sayge Carroll, Morgan Laramy; Preston Drum, Elvis and Leroy Drum; Isa Gagarin, Rae Gordon; Pao Her, Vince and Kailee Yang; Amanda Lovelee, Walden Waites; Avigail Manneberg, Kaiah and Micah Manneberg-Tompkins; Emmett Ramstad, Kit Aizura Ramstad; Anna Marie Shogren, Wally Glenn-Shogren; Aki Shibata, Atom Shibata Pliner and Yukiko Shibata Colburn; Jonathan Thunder,  Mino Hart Thunder

I will be unrolling this 86 foot long new work in progress at Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago on Thursday Feb. 29th at 1pm. Come and let me know what it makes you think and feel. 

Super excited to return to Carleton College to meet with students and give an artist talk.

Read the transcript of "Lunch Hour," a conversation between myself and Isa Gagarin about flexible teaching methods, fostering autonomous growth and the purpose of critique. It is a part of the awesome series on mnartist.org guest curated by Brooks Turner called An Uncertain Syllabus for Art Education.   

Come check out the awesome artwork by teachers, staff and students at UMN in this 20th Anniversary Show at the Katherine E. Nash. I have a new sculpture in the exhibition called "Study for an Endless Supply." 

I wanted to cross pollinate a blog post I wrote for COMPAS reflecting on a Saori weaving workshop I attended with my child Kit, taught by Chiaki O'Brien. Have a read:
