Thursday Miscellaneous -- Art at the Encore, Treasures of the Earth JNG and Document Spring

Equinox. Today the sun is crossing the equator into the Northern Hemisphere. WooHoo! It is officially spring. It's nice to see the snow melting and temps rising. If you get out and about there's the Treasures of the Earth arts and crafts event at Peace Church here in Duluth Saturday. Friday night's opening for Transcriptions at the Joseph Nease Gallery will be exciting.

Their next play is MYNX &SAVAGE by Rebecca Gorman Oneill. A tri-level story of a comic book writer, the characters of his superhero story, and the creatures of his “serious” work.

Your artwork should reflect the theme of the play. Suggestions would be fantasy, superheroes, caricatures, etc. Any new original work will be accepted. (This means no art that has been shown before at the Encore. Also, no prints) Please limit to three pieces. Each piece should be labeled with title, price, medium, artist and ready for display. If your piece sells, the buyer will make out the entire check to you. The theater doesn't take a commission, but donations are accepted.

Work should be delivered Tuesday, May 28 between 9am and 5pm. Work may not be accepted if after this date.

Thursday, May 30, 2019 is the ART OPENING from 6 to 7pm. You're invited to stay and watch the final dress rehearsal as a thank you for displaying your work in the gallery (no ticket required.) Please bring a treat to share. You can "get in character" by dressing up as your favorite superhero or cartoon character (not required) Encourage guests to come and join in the fun.

You will want to pick up your work from June 10 – 17, 2019. 9am-5pm

Creatively Yours, Kris Nelson - 218-348-7619 – art curator Joel Soukkala – 218-451-0715 - Manager
