Twin Ports Art: The November Art Scene Unfolds Before Us

Esther's Twin Ports Art schedule for November was released a few days early this month. Why? Because it includes a number of Halloween weekend events. If you want to skip my appetizers here and go straight to the main course, head right on over: https://twinportsart.blogspot.com/2020/10/art-in-november.html

Lake Superior Art Glass has announced a Great Pumpkin Hunt for Saturday, Halloween day. Kids should be in costume as they look about the city in search of the 16 beautiful glass pumpkins produced by Lake Superior Glass. Cool idea! Here are the details: https://lakesuperiorartglass.com/blogs/events/the-great-pumpkin-hunt

The Northern Expressions Arts Collective is also having an event for kids as well called A Socially Distanced Scavenger Hunt. (I want to be a kid again!) This one starts at 1 p.m. out near Pike Lake where Midway Road crosses Highway 53.  Details here: https://lakesuperiorartglass.com/blogs/events/the-great-pumpkin-hunt

The Nordic Center is doing its Gingerbread House event again. Sunday, November 1, is the last day you can order your Gingerbread House Making Kit. Details here:

MY DAY HAS BEEN FULL AND THIS BLOG POST IS EMPTY, BUT that is OK. Big round of applause to Esther Piszczek for her ongoing commitment to assemble all these dates and events and contact information. It's all here at the Twin Ports Arts Blog, November Edition.

NOTEWORTHY
Susie has always been a busy bee  generating creative gifts (for kids, grandkids) and projects that others can do. This summer she created Art Classes 2 Go which you can find at Art on the Planet in Superior. (PLEASE SHOP THERE FOR CHRISTMAS because they sell art and gifts for more 160 local artists.)

Susie now has several other items for sale in the Facebook Marketplace. Here are three hotlinks to check out.

Greeting Card Art Class to Go for Kids & Adults
(Example at right)

I have nothing against Hallmark personally, but when I see the delight in peoples' eyes or hear the feedback from friends and family when we send cards Susie has created here... well, there's something special in that. Home made or locally made... whatever avenue you choose, creative love is best.

TWEED UPDATE
OK, all of you who like me have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the Tweed to open again... The good news is that the Tweed Museum of Art is open for students, faculty and staff right now, from Tuesday to Thursday each week, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There are a number of new exhibits on display now, including a Carl Gawboy retrospective that I'm eager to see, and a half dozen other exhibits, along with an Adam Swanson mural project in the main gallery. Think I can get a special pass as a rep from the Media?

Goin' Postal
No "Fall Art Show" this year but if you have to ship packages via FedEx, UPS or USPS, I have a lot of paintings on display, and will bring a few new things. 

Meantime, art goes on all around us. Especially here in the Twin Ports.
