SUMMARY:LoLa Art Crawl
DESCRIPTION:LoLa Art Crawl is back! The Popular Longfellow Art Tour Returns September 17–18.  \nWhat it is: A self-guided tour of local art at artists’ homes and businesses \nWhere: Throughout Greater Longfellow\, Minneapolis\, bordered by the Midtown Greenway\, Minnehaha Falls\, Hiawatha Avenue and Mississippi River. Look for the yellow LoLa signs. \nWhen: Sat.\, Sep. 17\, and Sun.\, Sep. 18\, 10–4 both days \nWho’s LoLa? The League of Longfellow Artists (LoLa) is a nonprofit organization and voluntary association of artists who live or work in Longfellow. \nMore info: LoLaArt.org\, Facebook.com/LoLaArtistsMN \nAfter last fall’s trial run\, Longfellow artists are ready to bring  back the much loved LoLa Art Crawl\, the 12th annual neighborhood-based tour of local art organized by the League of Longfellow Artists (LoLa) since 2009\, skipping only 2020 because of  COVID-19 and the destruction caused by civil unrest after the murder of George Floyd.   \nLast year despite continuing uncertainty\, more than 60 artists stepped up to participate in a scaled  back art crawl\, which\, as is usual for LoLa\, included many sites that were outdoors or in well-venti lated indoor spaces. Despite its smaller scale and limited advertising\, and absent a printed directory\, artists enjoyed many visitors and enthusiastic support from the community that came out for the event.   \nThis year we expect something more along the lines of the usual 100+ artists at 50 or more sites for  the full-scale art crawl once again.  Visitors will have a colorful artist directory to take as a keepsake and to guide them through the neighborhood and into the creative spaces that the various artists  call home\, and to the many local businesses throughout Longfellow. You can find more information about LoLa and LoLa artists on our website\, LoLaArt.org.  Participating artists live and/or work in Greater Longfellow\, or are guests of these neighborhood artists.  \nLoLa is a volunteer-run organization of artists who live or work in Longfellow. Its mission is to partner with neighborhood arts organizations\, nonprofits\, small businesses\, and residents to support Longfellow artists at any stage in their creative lives\, and to invite and encourage community engagement with art and artists.   \n

SUMMARY:Facing the Fire: Public Art Project
DESCRIPTION:Longtime resident of Howe neighborhood\, and accomplished visual artist Paul Herwig will present a public art project\, Facing the Fire\, consisting of live animated projection art and music performances along the Lake Street East corridor. \nDuring the week of October 3-9\, longtime Howe resident Paul Herwig will present “Facing the Fire”\, a public art project consisting of several live music and live animated projection art performances at sites along East Lake Street in Minneapolis\, one of the epicenters of civil unrest during the tumultuous days and nights following the murder of George Floyd and repeated police abuses in the community. Paul’s aim is to amplify the voices of residents of Longfellow and temporarily transform the scarred physical properties of the area into hauntingly beautiful temporary artistic installations that resonate with the experiences of that summer\, and the aspirations of the community today. \nWorking with Paul on two important performances during the week is Queen Drea. Queen Drea creates conceptual soundscapes by applying poetic and often metaphorical language to her lyrics and compositions. She approaches a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way and her performances directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Drea is a McKnight Composers Fellow\, and multi award winning musical artist. \nPaul is a McKnight Artist Fellow\, and co-director of the much lauded Minneapolis dance & theater company\, Off-Leash Area\, recipient of numerous individual artist awards\, producer of unique community programs\, and freelance set and projection art designer for performances and events. \nThe two principal performances that anchor the project are Paul and Drea performing together at October 5th – The East Lake Library\, 8:30pm-9:30pm\, principal community sponsor East Lake Library. October 9th – Hook & Ladder / 3rd Precinct Bldg\, 8:00pm – 9:00pm\, principal sponsor Hook & Ladder \n  \nWHAT: Facing the Fire public art project\nWHERE: Throughout Lake Street in Minneapolis\, east of Hiawatha\, and west of Marshall Ave\nWHEN: October 3-9\, various times\nINFORMATION: https://www.futureprojections.net/coming-soon.html

DESCRIPTION:Join Curiosity Studio for open studios with art making experiences designed to strengthen individual and community wellness over the course of five different dates this fall.  This session will take place at Curiosity Studio and focus on Art as a way to Process. \nHow do we process the events\, accidents\, or markers of a whole life? We look at each piece\, just a little bit at a time\, and see how it has fit together to make a whole. Mosaic shows us the importance of every piece and makes meaning with cohesive results. Let’s use mosaic as a way to start sifting through the process.  \nRegister here. \nAbout Curiosity Studio\nCuriosity Studio is an art therapy and trauma informed art studio located in the Longfellow neighborhood. The open studio model was originally developed by art therapist Pat Allen as a way to off-set systems of inequality by providing intentional space for groups to gather outside of traditional therapy settings.  Since 2019\, CS has adapted this model to address topics felt and experienced by the community on a monthly basis at no cost. \nAbout Longfellow Community Health Programming\nThrough funding made available by the Hennepin County CHIP Grant\, Curiosity Studio has partnered with the Longfellow Business Association and Longfellow Community Council to address consistently identified themes that impact the mental health of our employees and residents in our neighborhood. \nThese five sessions aim to address the stress\, trauma\, or violence happening in your apartment building\, workplaces\, neighborhood\, school\, or community. All sessions are in person at Curiosity Studio\, except Sept. 27 session which is over Zoom. \nThemes include: \nSeptember 27th\, 12-2pm – Art as a way of Stabilizing\nEngagement in the creative process offers opportunities to cope\, examine\, and build resilience. The safety and stabilization phase is a vital component of trauma healing and requires time and consideration. This Open Studio creates an opportunity for community members to come together in an environment that promotes a sense of stabilization using meditative art processes. \nOctober 6th\, 6-8pm  – Art as a way of Sharing\nStories offer a way to contain and share our experiences. Through the artful altering of books\, community members are invited to tell their story their own way during this open studio. \nOctober 11th\, 6-8 pm – Art as a way of Fight\n“Never fight to injure\, fight to uplift.” Chanel Miller // Our aim in this group is to reflect on how fighting for our community can be translated into art. Through the process of screen printing\, participants will create messages that they wish they could tell institutions of power that uplifts our community. \nOct 14th\, 11am-1pm – Art as a way to come back to your Body\nBody scanning can be a useful way to check in with yourself and know when you need a pause. Join us to learn how to use this exercise alongside art making to build up your capacity for slowing down and checking in during the difficulties of our day to day. \nOct 24th\, 4-6 pm– Art as a way to Process\nHow do we process the events\, accidents\, or markers of a whole life? We look at each piece\, just a little bit at a time\, and see how it has fit together to make a whole. Mosaic shows us the importance of every piece and makes meaning with cohesive results. Let’s use mosaic as a way to start sifting through the process.
