SUMMARY:'Treasures from Norway" exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Treasures from Norway honors the Norwegian immigrants that settled this region during the middle part of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These new Americans came to the United States with little more than the clothes on their back and a few personal effects. These personal items\, tangible reminders of family they were leaving and the old country\, will be displayed from July 1\, 2025 to June 22\, 2026. \nObjects on display include clothing\, furniture\, and household items that were brought over on the hundreds of immigrant ships that came to the US from Norway. Items of special significance include the Syverson family hardanger fiddle\, created by the grandfather of Gunner Helland. Gunner Helland lived in Fargo starting in 1930 and passed his knowledge of fiddle making on to Bud Larsen. Bud\, who now lives in Brainerd\, is teaching new students in the Fargo-Moorhead area his techniques so future generations can create their own fiddles. \nA small wooden rosemal box\, owned by Inger Peterson (nee Hansdatter) will be on display as well. Born in Telemark\, Norway\, Inger moved to the United States after she married her husband\, Peter Peterson. The couple arrived at Moorhead on May 28\, 1880. Peter would die by the end of the decade\, but Inger would live until April 1939 when she passed away at 92. \nThis exhibit is part of a larger series of efforts across the country to commemorate the bicentennial of Norwegian immigration to the United States. On October 9\, 1825\, the sloop Restauration arrived in the United States with 52 Norwegian Quakers. This marked the first organized instance of Norwegian immigration to the United States – although Norwegians settlements in the US date as far back as the early 17th century. Since 1935 the federal government has marked October 9 as Leif Erikson Day.

SUMMARY:Alicia Hauff presents 'Homing: Radical Renewal' at Plains Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Homing is a solo exhibition featuring the work of regional multidisciplinary artist Alicia Hauff. This body of work examines the disconnect between contemporary life and the ecological\, ancestral\, and somatic systems that have sustained human and non-human communities. Homing refers to “an ability to return to a place or territory after traveling a distance away from it.” The foundational aspects of home include a sense of rootedness\, connectedness\, belonging\, safety\, and mutual care. Homing is a re-membering\, recovering\, and re-commitment to the greater whole of interconnected\, interdependent life. Re-membering relates to the embodied act of becoming whole\, putting ourselves back together again in care and community. For Hauff\, homing begins with getting to know those beings all around us\, every day. \nThrough fluid acrylic washes\, graphite portraiture\, and organic materials gathered from the land\, Hauff guides viewers into a practice of attunement: noticing the languages of birds\, the cycles of wildflowers\, the shifting textures and energies of place. Her work invites viewers to slow down\, listen\, and rediscover the animacy of the world\, ultimately reminding us that our bodies know the way home. \nSince transitioning from community nursing to a multidisciplinary art practice in 2021\, Alicia Hauff has been re-rooting and re-membering ancestral ways of moving and sensing in today’s fast-paced society. She brings her healing science background into her current work to mend our connection to the land\, and ultimately\, the connection to our wildest\, most natural selves. Her work spans painting\, drawing\, foraging-based processes\, and interdisciplinary research\, often incorporating materials and observations gathered directly from the environments she studies. She lives in Fargo with her husband and three sons\, which she affectionately refers to as the Hauff fraternity.

SUMMARY:Periphery: Paintings and Reduction Relief Prints by Eric A. Johnson
DESCRIPTION:The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum is pleased to announce Periphery: Paintings and Reduction Relief Prints by Eric A. Johnson\, which features acrylic paintings\, reduction relief prints\, and print blocks by the artist. The exclusive Member Preview for the exhibit is on Friday 6 March from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and the Public Reception is on Sunday 22 March from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. with a gallery talk by the artist at 2 p.m. The exhibit will be on display in the Main Gallery at the museum building from 6 March to 12 April. \nEric A. Johnson is a printmaker and painter known for works that exhibit bold color\, expressive line work\, and emotionally charged imagery. Raised as the youngest of six children on a farm near Embden\, North Dakota\, Eric’s early life was shaped by the rhythms of rural work and the quiet\, expansive landscapes that continue to influence his artistic voice. \nEric discovered his passion for printmaking while studying at North Dakota State University\, where he became deeply connected to the reduction relief technique pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Hidalgo Arnéra. He later earned his MFA from the University of North Dakota\, where he began developing the cityscape series that remains central to his practice. \nOver more than two decades\, Eric has built a significant regional presence as both an artist and educator. He has taught at area colleges and universities and has served as Master Printer in the NDSU Visual Arts Department for multiple editions through the university’s PEARS program. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum and in traveling exhibitions across North Dakota and Montana\, which have earned recognition for emotional depth and technical mastery. \nEric is the founder of Big Oak Press\, his printmaking studio in Hillsboro\, North Dakota\, where he continues to produce new work and explore the expressive possibilities of his art. \nExhibition Statement \nWithin this exhibition\, Eric A. Johnson has on display his latest series\, consisting of controlled drip acrylic paintings and reduction relief prints. The concept of periphery is reflected in what remains of the cuts and what is applied to the canvases\, shaped as much by what has been removed as by what is left behind. \nThe acrylic paintings use a controlled drip technique to suggest atmospheric landscapes\, forms that feel familiar yet resist precise identification. Alongside the paintings\, reduction relief prints extend this visual language. Built through a process of carving and layering from a single block\, each print is an act of commitment and elimination. \nThe dual meaning of “periphery\,” as both the outer limits of an area and what we perceive indirectly\, just beyond our central focus\, guides this exhibition. Periphery as an examination of what exists at the edge of vision\, memory\, and landscape. These works consider how meaning forms at the margins.

SUMMARY:Theatre B presents 'Perfect Arrangement'
DESCRIPTION:PERFECT ARRANGEMENT\nby Topher Payne\nIt’s 1950\, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees\, Bob and Norma\, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay\, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. \nInspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement\, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door. \nPerformances: \nFridays at 7:30 pm: February 20\, 27\, March 6 \nSaturdays at 7:30 pm: February 21\, 28\, March 7 \nSundays at 2:00 pm: February 22\, March 1 & 8 \nSunday Salon and ASL Performance: Sunday\, March 7 \n“As hiding gets harder\, pitch-perfect comedy ensues: slamming doors\, strange disguises\, preposterous excuses [….] Eventually\, the four must decide whether face-saving domestic lies are worth it\, or whether ostracism beats living in fear. In our own era of surveillance and paranoia\, their mid-century problems don’t feel so far away.” – The New Yorker \n  \n“This is truly what a play should be. Thought-provoking\, but with loads of laughs\, this terrific show strikes the perfect balance between harsh social criticism and comedy.” – Triangle Arts & Entertainment
