Local Art Event
Opening last night of the Juno Avenue
Art “Expanding the Garden” at the Vine Arts Center
<www.vineartscenter.org>
timed with celebration of Earth Day on April 22, 2012.
The Art Center is a vibrant local
(Seward & Longfellow, Minneapolis) warehouse building converted
to artist studios and a fabulously spacious, well-lit artist-run art
gallery and locally-made artist gift shop. The current show is work
of a women's artist support group from St. Paul. Most members of the
group came to practice art later in life and all seem to share the
belief in “the therapeutic benefits of art”, quoted from an
article about the group in the Villager newspaper
<www.myvillager.com>.
Most of the work is expressive, very colorful and graphic. There were
a few red dot stickers by the end of the evening on the smaller
attractive well-done and reasonably-priced pieces—a good sign that
people are out buying original art and supporting the local art
community! Congratulations to this group of emerging artists! Show runs through May 5th.
