Big Art Night on Both Sides of the Bridge This Friday

Here are a few items of note for the Twin Ports. Everything from functional art to fine art...

8th Annual Love Your Local Artist
On Friday evening the Superior Public Library is hosting its eighth annual Love Your Local Artist fundraiser featuring live music, sweet & savory treats, wine, a silent auction, Adopt-a-Book sale, and (of course!) tons of local art and the artists who created it. This is their first LYLA event since the massive renovation that took place this past year. If you've not been to the library, this will be an excellent reason to get over there to see the new layout and design. The West-facing entrance and spacious interior are very appealing.

This year LYLA will also feature the murals of Tony Yaworski which were recently donated to the library. These murals will be temporarily displayed at the library during their restoration--check them out at Love Your Local Artist. If you love libraries and you love art, you'll want to make a little time to check in and check it out.

Time: 5:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Admission: Free

Downtown Duluth Arts Walk
On the Minnesota side of the bridge, the last Friday of each month is devoted to a Downtown Duluth Arts Walk, presented by The Downtown Duluth Arts Collective.

Downtown Duluth art galleries, eateries, bars and performance venues. The Downtown Arts Walk is a multi-location, walkable, year-round event held on the final Friday of each month. The event runs from 5 to 9 p.m., but it does not begin at a specific location, and while some venues are open from 5 to 9, various venues are open at different times.

Posters and flags bearing the logo are up at each location. The Downtown Duluth Arts Collective is a group of colleagues representing more than 25 arts businesses and groups, individual artist studios and cultural centers. I will do my best to dial in the weather for maximum enjoyment as you TGIF and kick of your weekend..

122 Conversations
Anne Labovitz @ the Tweed
From September 25 through January 6 the Tweed Museum of Art at UMD is hosting 122 Conversations: Person to Person, Art Beyond Borders, a new project by Anne Labovitz. The opening reception will be Thursday, October 25 from 6-8:30 p.m. A Gallery Talk will be Saturday, November 10. Both events are free and open to the public, but you don't need to wait till then to make your way to the Tweed. Because school is in session I've found that weekend afternoons are the easiest time to visit. For gallery hours visit http://www.d.umn.edu/tma/
