Planet Earth Art Exhibit

The local arts organization sponsored several themed juried art exhibits this year, and the last on the list is the Planet Earth exhibit. My painting “Erosion” (which you can see here) was juried into this show, which you can read more about in that previous post too.

Below are more photos from the exhibit.

I hope everyone in the central Minnesota area can make it to see this show. Studio C is in the lower level of the Paramount building, which is directly downtown near the Falcon Bank. You can’t miss it. It’s an unusually strong show, in my opinion, and not because of my painting but because of the other artwork in it. There are some very unique pieces and I’m very happy to see St. Cloud art shows branching out into accepting more mixed media and collage and unusual things in general.

Art Crawl St. Cloud

I didn’t take a lot of photos Friday night during the art crawl, but I did get a few. We had a much larger crowd of people after these were taken so I didn’t have time to take more. It was a good art crawl, though I was expecting more people. But there was a time period of about an hour when the building was very crowded with people looking at our work. The cookies and food were a big hit too, of course.

Art Crawl November 18th -- before the bigger crowds came

The next art crawl isn’t until March 2012. If you saw something you liked and wanted to come by to purchase it later, just contact us using the contact forms above.

Next time I should have the ability to accept credit cards so that should make it easier for everyone to get the paintings they like and not worry about paying on the spot. We did sell a few things, but not as much as we had hoped. I talked to someone afterwards and suggested it might be because we don’t accept credit cards so finding a way to accept credit cards will be a priority for me for the next art crawl.

I also have a painting in the Planet Earth exhibit in Studio C at the Paramount. It’s titled “Erosion” and there is a photo on my website here. Please visit the Paramount to see the whole exhibit.

More of our artwork can also be seen in Little Falls at the GRAA art center downtown during their Wrap Up art show.

Art for Artists and Art Crawl

Art for Artists Exhibit at US Bank and September Art Crawl!

When: Sep 16 – Oct 14, 2011 —  Opens Fri, September 16, 5pm – 9pm

Where: 1015 W Saint Germain St, Saint Cloud Minnesota (map)

Visual Arts Minnesota and US Bank will be presenting Art for Artists Community Art Show, featuring artists from Central Minnesota. Awards will be given for both 2D and 3D work.  I did not win an award, which doesn’t bother me at all since I wasn’t even aware there would be awards given out).  A reception will be held on September 16, from 5-9pm during the St. Cloud Art Crawl.  ”Windmakers” is my entry in this show, and will be displayed for the duration of the show.  I have a photo of it that will be posted this weekend.

During this art crawl I will have a colorful and partially jungle-themed display of my other artwork in the hallways on the 2nd floor, 701 building, where you can also see StudioJeff (a well known gallery).  I am not in that display but you will not be able to miss my display at the end of the 2nd floor hallway!  Photos to come of course.

Some photos of the 701 West St. Germain building hallway on the second floor, where my studio is, are above and below. These are my paintings. You’ll have to visit US Bank in St. Cloud to see the Windmakers painting I did for Art for Artists, because I don’t seem to have a photo of it yet! This painting and four others are now on display in Elk River, for the ERAA member show, which lasts until November 3rd. Have a look at that show at the Sherburne County Government Center. It’s free, of course.
