Where's Art

UMD's all-campus art show, We All Belong, opens tomorrow (2/26) at UMD's Griggs Center.

ARE, a poetry organization for youth in the Twin Ports, is releasing another book of poetry by students and progam staff. 

Annie Dugan lets us know about a couple of art-related events this week in our midst, including:

Sarah Brokke's Sacred Selves opened yesterday at Duluth Pottery in Lincoln Park. The exhibit runs through March 31st.

This week's Making It Up North, the Emmy-nominated program produced by Karen Sunderman at WDSE-WRPT (Thursdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 11:00am), features photographer Christian Dalbec.

Tomorrow's (2/5) Tweevenings program is called Out of the Shadows: Annie Traquair Lang & Helen M. Turner, and is hosted by Dr. Jennifer Web of UMD.

And the Prøve Collective is reopening after several months of extensive renovation ... you can enjoy the revitalized space and Jay Whitcomb's Demons and Angels: Moments of Clarity beginning Friday evening.

Annie Dugan talks about combating negativity on social media by changing what you follow, look at and post.

Carla Hamilton's Art of the Remix opens tonight at Teatro Zuccone ... 

The film Desolation Slow opens at Teatro on Friday ...

Saturday, Sue Rauschenfels opens a show at the Lakeside Gallery in Duluth

Annie Dugan encourages us to get out to see great art this week, though you'll want to wear an extra few layers.

Today, the 2019 Twin Ports MLK Rally showcases artwork and posters for the event are designed by local artists Terresa and Jordan Moses.  

Tonight at the Zeitgesit Arts cafe Mezzanine is the opening reception of Patricia Lenz's Solitude, a collection of mixed media prints.

A free chance for folks of all ages to do some creating this week, brought to you by the Superior Public Library ...

College is back in session this week and that's a reminder that there are new student shows up at the Tweed Museum of Art every week.

Instead of blowing through a gallery, sparing only a few seconds for each work, Annie recommends picking a piece you like, setting a timer for two minutes, and then just looking at it carefully.

If you can't listen to KUMD while you shovel out today (why wouldn't you be able to listen to KUMD?). Annie's recommending one of her favorite podcasts,  A Piece of Work,  hosted by Abbi Jacobson.

Wrapping up another great year in art, Anne Dugan shares her "Best of Art in 2018."

Annie Dugan has a bunch of ideas for your couch-potato self over the holidays ...

Last week, she recommended Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art by Mary Gabriel.   

Even though the weather this week is cloudy and grey, an abundance of art around us this week can brighten the day.  Annie Dugan reports on these events:

- Tonight (Monday, 12/3) from 5 to 7 pm at the Zeitgeist Atrium is the opening reception for plein air artist Matt Kania's exhibit "DOing: A Labor of Love," featuring oil paintings of artists and artisans doing the art or craft that they love.
