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

SUMMARY:Longfellow Community Health:  Using Art as a Tool for Mental Health Support
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.

SUMMARY:Southside Stories: Our North Star Journey
DESCRIPTION:Greg McMoore is a lifelong South Minneapolis resident and current board member of Hennepin History Museum. He recently completed an Arthur C. McWatt Fellowship to further explore the story of his family’s “North Star Journey.” Greg will share the story about his Wallace family ancestors: their migration from enslavement in Virginia; arrival to freedom in Hastings\, Minnesota; and then their final destination in south Minneapolis. The family’s first Minneapolis home was at 416 E 25th St\, which was destroyed by the construction of I-35W in the 1960s. This was ground zero of the negative impact to the African American community in south Minneapolis and the eventual development of  segregated communities. \nParticipants will hear a presentation about this story\, share a meal\, and engage in conversation and storytelling about family life and community in south Minneapolis. The setting will appropriately be at St. Peter’s AME church\, a bedrock institution in the community and is organized by the Hennepin History Museum. \n  \nGet tickets!
