SUMMARY:Exhibit: Under the Blood Red Sky: James Tiernan O’Rourke’s 'Irish Suite'
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum for a showcase of “Under the Blood Red Sky: James Tiernan O’Rourke’s ‘Irish Suite’.” View this grand event as we exhibit prints by James Tiernan O’Rourke depicting Ireland\, running from Friday\, 15 March through Sunday\, 28 April. \nView “Under the Blood Red Sky: James Tiernan O’Rourke’s ‘Irish Suite’ ” and all of our exhibits during public viewing hours on Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. \nAbout the Artist:\nJames Tiernan O’Rourke was born in Langdon\, North Dakota\, in 1933 to Joseph Rourke and Mildred (Gustafson) Rourke. He grew up in the farm country of northeastern North Dakota with his older brother Orland Rourke and younger brother Vern Rourke. His grandparents’ farms\, his childhood schoolhouse\, and a country church which was built by his family would provide some of the subjects for his paintings and prints. \nJames studied art and history at Concordia College in Moorhead with Cyrus M. Running and Elizabeth Strand from 1952 to 1956. His classmates at Concordia included Joy and Philip Thompson\, Kathleen Ristinen\, Abner Jonas\, and LeRoy Aasland. In the summers of 1954 and 1956\, he also took classes at the University of Idaho and the University of Colorado respectively. \nWhen he returned to Moorhead in 1960\, James established the Rourke Gallery with his brother Orland in the former Moorhead Daily News building. James worked as the active partner in this first gallery while Orland taught at McKinley Elementary School in Fargo. James was involved in the establishment of the Red River Arts Center in 1965 and the O’Rourke Art Gallery Museum in 1973—which merged in 1975 to form the Plains Art Museum with James as executive director. During this period\, he purchased the historic Franklin Sharp House in Moorhead to serve as his residence and studio. He parted company with the Plains in 1987\, retaining Rourke Gallery in the Martinson House. In 1992\, the non-profit Rourke Art Gallery + Museum was established. \nThroughout all of his time as a gallerist\, teacher\, museum director\, and arts leader\, James never stopped making art: paintings\, prints\, drawings\, wood assemblages\, photographs\, and ceramics. Much like the sites he had visited in Europe during his Army years\, the history of this region and its historic architecture were major sources of inspiration for his artwork. James would often say that he simply loved art\, artists\, and art patrons (in that order.) His interests outside of art were great dinners\, dry martinis\, historic houses\, and his beloved cats. \nJames O’Rourke passed away after suffering a fall in his home in early 2011. The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum was the benefactor of his estate\, including his eclectic and impressive art collection and James’ remaining inventory of his own relief prints.

SUMMARY:The Needle's Art: Embroidered Treasures of the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit called The Needle’s Art: Embroidered Treasures from the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection; multiple embroidered textiles will be on display at the Hjemkomst Center March 26 through June 23. \nUsing a needle and thread to embellish clothing and textiles has been practiced by men and women for centuries in both the home and in professional workshops. But early in the nineteenth century\, embroidery became primarily viewed as a woman’s activity and was relegated to the arena of crafts\, often without recognition of the artist who made it. American museums are filled with these pieces of needle art\, made in the home and passed down through the family until they end up in a museum collection. These pieces illustrate more than a woman’s ability to mark her family’s linens\, beautify her home\, or fulfill her expected social role. They become an outlet for her creativity and a means of moving beyond her home and into the wider world. \nThe Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection at North Dakota State University has a remarkable collection of embroidered pieces made in the home\, added to clothing or textiles by professional embroiderers\, or collected by donors during their world travels. This exhibit celebrates the art of embroidery—an art that spans geography\, cultures\, and time to connect women across the world and across history. \nThe Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection is a repository of material culture focusing on clothing\, textiles\, and related items. The collection works to reveal how such objects serve as a record of life through collection\, preservation\, and study. Housed at North Dakota State University\, across the river from Moorhead in Fargo\, ND\, the collection of over 5000 fiber artifacts has broadened its mission to preserve the cultural heritage of the state and region through textiles\, clothing\, and related items. \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from Lake Region Arts Council\, thanks to a Minnesota State Legislative appropriation; The Arts Partnership with the Cities of Fargo\, Moorhead\, and West Fargo; the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation\, and the Alex Stern Family Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: "John Scott Postovit: Myth and Legend"
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum for an exclusive showcase of “John Scott Postovit: Myth and Legend” exhibit\, running from Friday 5 April to Sunday 9 June. \nMembers of the Rourke and their guests are invited to special reception for the upcoming exhibit Friday 5 April from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. \nFollowing the Members Preview\, all are welcome for the Public Opening of the exhibit on Saturday 8 June from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. Sherry will present a gallery talk at 2 p.m. \nView “John Scott Postovit: Myth and Legend” and all of our exhibits during public viewing hours Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. \nAbout the Artist:\nJohn Scott Postovit was born in Grand Forks\, North Dakota in 1962\, and raised in Bismarck and Fargo. He attended the University of North Dakota\, and graduated in 1985 with a B.F.A. in Painting and a B.S. in Physics. Since then\, he has lived on the east and west coasts\, as well as a nine-month spell in Florence\, Italy. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited in galleries and museums in various locations across the country\, including North Dakota\, Minnesota\, New Jersey\, Washington\, Ohio\, Montana\, and California. To date\, his art has appeared in 41 solo exhibitions and 142 group shows. He currently lives in the mountains south of San Francisco\, California\, where he draws as well as teaching math and physics. \n​Postovit’s primary medium for the past thirty-four years has been pastel and charcoal. Over the years\, his work has progressed to more detailed and complex representational work. Most of his work is done for specific shows\, and the themes vary from show to show\, from figurative to historical\, mythological to allegorical\, and cityscape to landscape. The common thread found throughout these drawings are the intense colors\, and many surreal and anachronistic objects thrown into the compositions.

SUMMARY:The Laramie Project Production - Concordia College Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman\nAdvanced Directing Production \nIn October 1998 in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie\, Wyoming\, Matthew Shepard\, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming\, was tied to a fence post\, severely beaten\, robbed\, tortured\, and left alone to die. He was rushed to the hospital and put on life support and died five days later. The reason for this brutal crime? Matthew Shepard was gay.\nThe Tectonic Theater Project\, led by their founder Moisés Kaufman\, traveled to Laramie in the aftermath of the murder with the intent of creating a theatrical portrait of a town coming to grips with hate-fueled violence. Out of the interviews that were conducted\, journal entries\, and found texts\, The Laramie Project was born.
