SUMMARY:Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx
DESCRIPTION:CROSSING THE RIVER STYX \nLife is like a river. Some of us go with the flow\, some of us fight the current. Our decisions send us down various creeks and tributaries. No two rivers travel the same route\, yet we all wind up riding in Charon’s boat at the end. \n”Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx” is the sixth iteration of an annual exhibition dedicated to the scariest of holidays. It brings frightening fringe art back to The Rourke with the assistance of fantastic artists – both local and remote. The interpretation of motif ranges from cute to creepy\, while the diversity of visual language on display creates a macabre melody sure to delight both the sinister and silly. \nAs an artist\, you are cordially invited to submit up to three pieces of art to “Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx”\, which will take place from October 6 until November 5. “Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx” is meant as an exploration of thresholds. Be it an ominous boatman\, a looming reaper\, or just the crossroads between life and death itself – this show is about the journey to our final destination. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that reflect upon their own real or imaginary experiences. Pieces can be creepy\, kooky\, mysterious\, or spooky\, but are encouraged to remain PG13 or under and retain some semblance of whimsy and connection to the theme. \nExhibition Dates \nThe Art Ghoullery will be on display from Friday 6 October through Sunday 5 November 2023. A Masquerade Reception will be held at the Rourke Art Gallery + Museum on Saturday 28 October where we shall announce and present the juror’s choice and audience choice awards. \nEligibility \nThis is a juried show.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception of " A Journey in Color"
DESCRIPTION:What: Please join us at the Spirit Room in Lotus Studio for the exhibition of Annett Richter’s “A New Journey in Color: Alcohol Inks on Yupo Paper\,” an explosive colorful collection of abstract alcohol ink paintings. \nAnnett Richter is a visual artist\, photographer\, teacher\, writer\, editor\, translator\, and musician. Her alcohol ink paintings have been on view in the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s 2021 “Foot in the Door 5: A Virtual Exhibition”; The Arts Partnership’s “Virtual Catalog to Fill Blank Spaces” project\, and at galleries\, coffeeshops\, and libraries in Fargo; the Lake Region Arts Council’s 2023 Brian Frink Guest Juror Exhibit (Fergus Falls\, Minnesota); and in multi-media artist Jo Verdis’s On Earth I am Safe (ebook\, 2022). Her paintings and photographs have been featured online with Red Bluff Gallery (Red Bluff\, California)\, with Gallerium Art Exhibitions (Toronto\, Canada)\, and in the French-Canadian art magazine Artistonish presenting works by artists from across the world. Her painting Follow the Light\, selected by Tri-College University and The Arts Partnership in Fargo-Moorhead\, was recently installed as her first work of public art on the utility box at the corner of 12th Ave S and 8th St on the campus of Concordia College in Moorhead. Annett holds degrees in music\, American studies\, and teaching German as a second language. She has taught at Concordia College\, MSUM\, NDSU\, and the University of Missouri–Columbia. Her research as a scholar focuses on intersections between music and the visual arts. She lives in Moorhead\, Minnesota. \nThrough her work with alcohol inks\, Annett explores themes of hope\, courage\, coexistence\, and nature. She finds herself motivated by the vibrant colors that merge and mingle in unpredictable ways on the page. Their resulting nuanced colors have inspired interpretations individual to each viewer\, a practice she openly encourages. Through her images\, she seeks to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds and enrich their lives with abstract compositions that offer a refreshing and uplifting experience for mind and soul. The creative process with alcohol inks resembles life’s colorful journeys. \n“A New Journey in Color: Alcohol Inks on Yupo Paper\,” is made possible through funding in part by North Dakota Council on the Arts and the Arts Partnership. \nWho: Open to the public\nCost: Free\nContact Us: fargospiritroom@gmail.com

With a focus on travel and landscape photography\, as well as the art of storytelling through video\, Michael has become a source of education and inspiration to his community.\nSpecializing in landscape astrophotography\, Michael loves connecting the beautiful landscapes of our planet to the vast expanse of the universe. As a content creator\, Michael has collaborated with prominent brands such as Sony\, Google Pixel\, YouTube\, and Adobe\, producing educational pieces and captivating visual displays that leave a lasting impact on viewers.\nMichael’s work has been featured by NASA\, major news networks such as CBS\, Washington Post\, and Newsweek\, and has been seen tens of millions of times on social media.\nBeyond the realm of photography\, Michael also leads a captivating double life as a classically trained violinist. Having completed a master’s degree in violin performance from New York University\, he has had the opportunity to perform on the stages of esteemed concert halls across the country\, including Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center.\nArtist statement:\nHi\, I’m Mike! My passion is connecting you to the beauty of our night sky. Did you know that one-third of humanity cannot see the Milky Way at night due to the luminescent glow of artificial light? My mission is to travel to the few remaining places in the world where the stars are visible in hopes of capturing their essence and sharing it with you. \nGabrielle Cerberville \nGabrielle Cerberville (b. 1991 in Sleepy Hollow\, NY) is a curious American composer turned creative alchemist. She writes with an experimental flair that is at once familiar and alien\, and her work regularly blends the lines between disciplines and discrete art forms. Her work is an exploration of communication\, primarily between humans and our natural neighbors (plants\, fungi\, animals\, and finding our place within ecosystems). She holds a Masters of Music in composition from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor of Music from Butler University in composition\, and is pursuing her Ph.D in Composition and Computer Technologies at the University of Virginia. Gabrielle has studied traditional and electronic composition with Drs. Lisa Coons\, Christopher Biggs\, Frank Felice and Michael Schelle.\nGabrielle’s works have been featured across the US and Europe. She has been honored with residencies at United Plant Savers in Ohio\, Port Austin AiR in Michigan\, Listhus in Iceland\, Arts Letters and Numbers in New York\, NES in Iceland\, Convergence in Indianapolis\, and has participated in several festivals\, including the Ammerman Symposium\, MOXsonic\, Impulse New Music\, EMM\, Skammdegi\, and A! Festival. Gabrielle’s striking and welcoming compositions have been highlighted by the artistic talents of Shanna Pranaitis\, Forward Motion\, Elizabeth A. Baker\, Ashley Walters\, Kory Reeder\, Ascending Duo\, Circuit721\, Sotto Voce\, Nicholas Tolle\, Verdant Vibes\, and others. She is also a well-known figure in the mycology and foraging communities\, and lectures widely about sustainability\, edible wild plants and fungi\, identification\, and environmental activism.\nArtist Statement:\nI am interested in scoring as a visual art form in addition to it being a practical method of conveying musical ideas for the purpose of performance. Lately\, much of my work has revolved around live electronics and fixed media\, and I am an avid collector of found sounds\, I also design sound that is live and object-based. Much of my work contains site-specific elements\, generally sounds captured from a particular location and manipulated within a unique space\, or necessitating performance in a certain location\, and as a citizen scientist\, mycologist\, and wild food advocate\, I tend to integrate botanical and fungal wisdom into my work. Much of this work is designed to place the listener in an immersive or unusual setting\, or to rebuild real places and moments in an imaginary\, sometimes fantastical space.\nMy goal as an artist is to create works that spark our collective human imagination and blur the lines between creator and consumer. I seek to draw from and reassemble disparate art forms into something new and deeply experiential. \nDoug Harbin\nDoug Harbin (b. 1980) is a composer\, performer\, and educator residing in Moorhead\, Minnesota. He composes acoustic and electroacoustic systematic music and his works have been performed throughout the world including Australia\, Canada\, China\, England\, Finland\, Latvia\, South Korea\, and the United States. Much of his music utilizes a compositional method called the ‘Take-Away System’\, which applies modular arithmetic over a finite set. His pieces have been included in regional\, national and international conferences and festivals including College Music Society\, Society of Composers Inc.\, ClarinetFest\, Flute New Music Consortium\, Upper Midwest Flute Association\, and the CFAMC.\nHarbin has been commissioned by the NEA Big Read\, The Arts Partnership\, Daraja Music Initiative\, and has received a Professional Development Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts to serve his second residency as an artist at the Banff Centre\, where he has had several premieres.\nHe holds degrees from Arizona State University (DMA music composition)\, Ball State University (MM music composition) and Taylor University (BA in mathematics and BM in music composition) and has been on faculty at Arizona State University\, Grand Canyon University\, Mesa Community College\, and Taylor University. He is currently Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) and Faculty Associate at Arizona State University. \nCarter Rice\nCarter John Rice is a multimedia artist\, audio engineer\, and educator based in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Rice is currently an assistant professor of Multimedia Arts Technology (MAT) at Western Michigan University where he teaches courses on cinema sound design\, music production\, film scoring\, and occasionally music theory/composition. His passion for teaching has been the driving force in his career thus far\, but he rarely turns down the chance for an artistic collaboration.\nRice earned a Doctor of Arts (D.A.) in music theory & composition from Ball State University in the spring of 2017. While primarily studying music composition\, technology\, and recording techniques\, he was also able to complete a cognate through the Ball State’s telecommunications program. This afforded him the chance to take coursework in video production\, animation\, video game design\, and narrative forms in the digital age. Prior to this\, Rice earned a Master of Music in music composition (M.M.) from Bowling Green State University in 20013\, and a Bachelor of Music in music theory & composition from Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) in 2011.\nartist statement:\nMy artistic practice is influenced by a variety of factors including the use of humor\, acoustic phenomena\, classical mechanics\, and the occasional dose of absurdity. I’m constantly fascinated at the intersection of the moving image and audio\, and I find it’s often best to simply let energy\, whether visual or auditory\, expend itself while the audience passively observes. There’s beauty in the mundane\, we just have to get the right vantage point. \nNEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

SUMMARY:Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx
DESCRIPTION:CROSSING THE RIVER STYX \nLife is like a river. Some of us go with the flow\, some of us fight the current. Our decisions send us down various creeks and tributaries. No two rivers travel the same route\, yet we all wind up riding in Charon’s boat at the end. \n”Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx” is the sixth iteration of an annual exhibition dedicated to the scariest of holidays. It brings frightening fringe art back to The Rourke with the assistance of fantastic artists – both local and remote. The interpretation of motif ranges from cute to creepy\, while the diversity of visual language on display creates a macabre melody sure to delight both the sinister and silly. \nAs an artist\, you are cordially invited to submit up to three pieces of art to “Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx”\, which will take place from October 6 until November 5. “Art Ghoullery VI: Crossing the River Styx” is meant as an exploration of thresholds. Be it an ominous boatman\, a looming reaper\, or just the crossroads between life and death itself – this show is about the journey to our final destination. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that reflect upon their own real or imaginary experiences. Pieces can be creepy\, kooky\, mysterious\, or spooky\, but are encouraged to remain PG13 or under and retain some semblance of whimsy and connection to the theme. \nExhibition Dates \nThe Art Ghoullery will be on display from Friday 6 October through Sunday 5 November 2023. A Masquerade Reception will be held at the Rourke Art Gallery + Museum on Saturday 28 October where we shall announce and present the juror’s choice and audience choice awards. \nEligibility \nThis is a juried show.

SUMMARY:Once Claimed Dominion - a collaborative art production
DESCRIPTION:Please visit the MSUM Planetarium website to register for this event. \nAn original art production including commissioned time lapse photography and musical compositions produced by Concordia alum and photographer Michael Abramyan\, Assistant Professor of Multimedia Arts Technology at Western Michigan University\, Carter Rice\, nationally renowned composer/ pianist Doug Harbin\, and creative alchemist and internationally celebrated artist Gabrielle Cerberville will be presented at the MSUM Planetarium for two showings every weekend beginning September 23rd. On October 8th there will be a special artist led event where our artists engage with the public\, sharing their process\, inspirations\, and expertise\, while also answering questions from attendants. Space is limited for these events so please register early! Food and refreshments will be available during the artist led event.\nDates:\nSaturdxay\, September 23 at 7pm\nSunday\, September 24th at 4pm\nSaturday\, September 30th at 7pm\nSunday\, October 1st at 4pm\nSaturday\, October 7th at 7pm\nSunday\, October 8th at 2pm\nArtist Talks/ Meet and Greet: 2:45pm\nSunday\, October 8th at 4pm \nAbout the Artists\nMichael Abramyan \nMichael Abramayn is a multifaceted artist who has used photography\, video editing\, and music to craft his creative journey. With a focus on travel and landscape photography\, as well as the art of storytelling through video\, Michael has become a source of education and inspiration to his community.\nSpecializing in landscape astrophotography\, Michael loves connecting the beautiful landscapes of our planet to the vast expanse of the universe. As a content creator\, Michael has collaborated with prominent brands such as Sony\, Google Pixel\, YouTube\, and Adobe\, producing educational pieces and captivating visual displays that leave a lasting impact on viewers.\nMichael’s work has been featured by NASA\, major news networks such as CBS\, Washington Post\, and Newsweek\, and has been seen tens of millions of times on social media.\nBeyond the realm of photography\, Michael also leads a captivating double life as a classically trained violinist. Having completed a master’s degree in violin performance from New York University\, he has had the opportunity to perform on the stages of esteemed concert halls across the country\, including Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center.\nArtist statement:\nHi\, I’m Mike! My passion is connecting you to the beauty of our night sky. Did you know that one-third of humanity cannot see the Milky Way at night due to the luminescent glow of artificial light? My mission is to travel to the few remaining places in the world where the stars are visible in hopes of capturing their essence and sharing it with you. \nGabrielle Cerberville \nGabrielle Cerberville (b. 1991 in Sleepy Hollow\, NY) is a curious American composer turned creative alchemist. She writes with an experimental flair that is at once familiar and alien\, and her work regularly blends the lines between disciplines and discrete art forms. Her work is an exploration of communication\, primarily between humans and our natural neighbors (plants\, fungi\, animals\, and finding our place within ecosystems). She holds a Masters of Music in composition from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor of Music from Butler University in composition\, and is pursuing her Ph.D in Composition and Computer Technologies at the University of Virginia. Gabrielle has studied traditional and electronic composition with Drs. Lisa Coons\, Christopher Biggs\, Frank Felice and Michael Schelle.\nGabrielle’s works have been featured across the US and Europe. She has been honored with residencies at United Plant Savers in Ohio\, Port Austin AiR in Michigan\, Listhus in Iceland\, Arts Letters and Numbers in New York\, NES in Iceland\, Convergence in Indianapolis\, and has participated in several festivals\, including the Ammerman Symposium\, MOXsonic\, Impulse New Music\, EMM\, Skammdegi\, and A! Festival. Gabrielle’s striking and welcoming compositions have been highlighted by the artistic talents of Shanna Pranaitis\, Forward Motion\, Elizabeth A. Baker\, Ashley Walters\, Kory Reeder\, Ascending Duo\, Circuit721\, Sotto Voce\, Nicholas Tolle\, Verdant Vibes\, and others. She is also a well-known figure in the mycology and foraging communities\, and lectures widely about sustainability\, edible wild plants and fungi\, identification\, and environmental activism.\nArtist Statement:\nI am interested in scoring as a visual art form in addition to it being a practical method of conveying musical ideas for the purpose of performance. Lately\, much of my work has revolved around live electronics and fixed media\, and I am an avid collector of found sounds\, I also design sound that is live and object-based. Much of my work contains site-specific elements\, generally sounds captured from a particular location and manipulated within a unique space\, or necessitating performance in a certain location\, and as a citizen scientist\, mycologist\, and wild food advocate\, I tend to integrate botanical and fungal wisdom into my work. Much of this work is designed to place the listener in an immersive or unusual setting\, or to rebuild real places and moments in an imaginary\, sometimes fantastical space.\nMy goal as an artist is to create works that spark our collective human imagination and blur the lines between creator and consumer. I seek to draw from and reassemble disparate art forms into something new and deeply experiential. \nDoug Harbin\nDoug Harbin (b. 1980) is a composer\, performer\, and educator residing in Moorhead\, Minnesota. He composes acoustic and electroacoustic systematic music and his works have been performed throughout the world including Australia\, Canada\, China\, England\, Finland\, Latvia\, South Korea\, and the United States. Much of his music utilizes a compositional method called the ‘Take-Away System’\, which applies modular arithmetic over a finite set. His pieces have been included in regional\, national and international conferences and festivals including College Music Society\, Society of Composers Inc.\, ClarinetFest\, Flute New Music Consortium\, Upper Midwest Flute Association\, and the CFAMC.\nHarbin has been commissioned by the NEA Big Read\, The Arts Partnership\, Daraja Music Initiative\, and has received a Professional Development Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts to serve his second residency as an artist at the Banff Centre\, where he has had several premieres.\nHe holds degrees from Arizona State University (DMA music composition)\, Ball State University (MM music composition) and Taylor University (BA in mathematics and BM in music composition) and has been on faculty at Arizona State University\, Grand Canyon University\, Mesa Community College\, and Taylor University. He is currently Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) and Faculty Associate at Arizona State University. \nCarter Rice\nCarter John Rice is a multimedia artist\, audio engineer\, and educator based in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Rice is currently an assistant professor of Multimedia Arts Technology (MAT) at Western Michigan University where he teaches courses on cinema sound design\, music production\, film scoring\, and occasionally music theory/composition. His passion for teaching has been the driving force in his career thus far\, but he rarely turns down the chance for an artistic collaboration.\nRice earned a Doctor of Arts (D.A.) in music theory & composition from Ball State University in the spring of 2017. While primarily studying music composition\, technology\, and recording techniques\, he was also able to complete a cognate through the Ball State’s telecommunications program. This afforded him the chance to take coursework in video production\, animation\, video game design\, and narrative forms in the digital age. Prior to this\, Rice earned a Master of Music in music composition (M.M.) from Bowling Green State University in 20013\, and a Bachelor of Music in music theory & composition from Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) in 2011.\nartist statement:\nMy artistic practice is influenced by a variety of factors including the use of humor\, acoustic phenomena\, classical mechanics\, and the occasional dose of absurdity. I’m constantly fascinated at the intersection of the moving image and audio\, and I find it’s often best to simply let energy\, whether visual or auditory\, expend itself while the audience passively observes. There’s beauty in the mundane\, we just have to get the right vantage point. \nNEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

With a focus on travel and landscape photography\, as well as the art of storytelling through video\, Michael has become a source of education and inspiration to his community.\nSpecializing in landscape astrophotography\, Michael loves connecting the beautiful landscapes of our planet to the vast expanse of the universe. As a content creator\, Michael has collaborated with prominent brands such as Sony\, Google Pixel\, YouTube\, and Adobe\, producing educational pieces and captivating visual displays that leave a lasting impact on viewers.\nMichael’s work has been featured by NASA\, major news networks such as CBS\, Washington Post\, and Newsweek\, and has been seen tens of millions of times on social media.\nBeyond the realm of photography\, Michael also leads a captivating double life as a classically trained violinist. Having completed a master’s degree in violin performance from New York University\, he has had the opportunity to perform on the stages of esteemed concert halls across the country\, including Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center.\nArtist statement:\nHi\, I’m Mike! My passion is connecting you to the beauty of our night sky. Did you know that one-third of humanity cannot see the Milky Way at night due to the luminescent glow of artificial light? My mission is to travel to the few remaining places in the world where the stars are visible in hopes of capturing their essence and sharing it with you. \nGabrielle Cerberville \nGabrielle Cerberville (b. 1991 in Sleepy Hollow\, NY) is a curious American composer turned creative alchemist. She writes with an experimental flair that is at once familiar and alien\, and her work regularly blends the lines between disciplines and discrete art forms. Her work is an exploration of communication\, primarily between humans and our natural neighbors (plants\, fungi\, animals\, and finding our place within ecosystems). She holds a Masters of Music in composition from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor of Music from Butler University in composition\, and is pursuing her Ph.D in Composition and Computer Technologies at the University of Virginia. Gabrielle has studied traditional and electronic composition with Drs. Lisa Coons\, Christopher Biggs\, Frank Felice and Michael Schelle.\nGabrielle’s works have been featured across the US and Europe. She has been honored with residencies at United Plant Savers in Ohio\, Port Austin AiR in Michigan\, Listhus in Iceland\, Arts Letters and Numbers in New York\, NES in Iceland\, Convergence in Indianapolis\, and has participated in several festivals\, including the Ammerman Symposium\, MOXsonic\, Impulse New Music\, EMM\, Skammdegi\, and A! Festival. Gabrielle’s striking and welcoming compositions have been highlighted by the artistic talents of Shanna Pranaitis\, Forward Motion\, Elizabeth A. Baker\, Ashley Walters\, Kory Reeder\, Ascending Duo\, Circuit721\, Sotto Voce\, Nicholas Tolle\, Verdant Vibes\, and others. She is also a well-known figure in the mycology and foraging communities\, and lectures widely about sustainability\, edible wild plants and fungi\, identification\, and environmental activism.\nArtist Statement:\nI am interested in scoring as a visual art form in addition to it being a practical method of conveying musical ideas for the purpose of performance. Lately\, much of my work has revolved around live electronics and fixed media\, and I am an avid collector of found sounds\, I also design sound that is live and object-based. Much of my work contains site-specific elements\, generally sounds captured from a particular location and manipulated within a unique space\, or necessitating performance in a certain location\, and as a citizen scientist\, mycologist\, and wild food advocate\, I tend to integrate botanical and fungal wisdom into my work. Much of this work is designed to place the listener in an immersive or unusual setting\, or to rebuild real places and moments in an imaginary\, sometimes fantastical space.\nMy goal as an artist is to create works that spark our collective human imagination and blur the lines between creator and consumer. I seek to draw from and reassemble disparate art forms into something new and deeply experiential. \nDoug Harbin\nDoug Harbin (b. 1980) is a composer\, performer\, and educator residing in Moorhead\, Minnesota. He composes acoustic and electroacoustic systematic music and his works have been performed throughout the world including Australia\, Canada\, China\, England\, Finland\, Latvia\, South Korea\, and the United States. Much of his music utilizes a compositional method called the ‘Take-Away System’\, which applies modular arithmetic over a finite set. His pieces have been included in regional\, national and international conferences and festivals including College Music Society\, Society of Composers Inc.\, ClarinetFest\, Flute New Music Consortium\, Upper Midwest Flute Association\, and the CFAMC.\nHarbin has been commissioned by the NEA Big Read\, The Arts Partnership\, Daraja Music Initiative\, and has received a Professional Development Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts to serve his second residency as an artist at the Banff Centre\, where he has had several premieres.\nHe holds degrees from Arizona State University (DMA music composition)\, Ball State University (MM music composition) and Taylor University (BA in mathematics and BM in music composition) and has been on faculty at Arizona State University\, Grand Canyon University\, Mesa Community College\, and Taylor University. He is currently Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) and Faculty Associate at Arizona State University. \nCarter Rice\nCarter John Rice is a multimedia artist\, audio engineer\, and educator based in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Rice is currently an assistant professor of Multimedia Arts Technology (MAT) at Western Michigan University where he teaches courses on cinema sound design\, music production\, film scoring\, and occasionally music theory/composition. His passion for teaching has been the driving force in his career thus far\, but he rarely turns down the chance for an artistic collaboration.\nRice earned a Doctor of Arts (D.A.) in music theory & composition from Ball State University in the spring of 2017. While primarily studying music composition\, technology\, and recording techniques\, he was also able to complete a cognate through the Ball State’s telecommunications program. This afforded him the chance to take coursework in video production\, animation\, video game design\, and narrative forms in the digital age. Prior to this\, Rice earned a Master of Music in music composition (M.M.) from Bowling Green State University in 20013\, and a Bachelor of Music in music theory & composition from Concordia College (Moorhead\, MN) in 2011.\nartist statement:\nMy artistic practice is influenced by a variety of factors including the use of humor\, acoustic phenomena\, classical mechanics\, and the occasional dose of absurdity. I’m constantly fascinated at the intersection of the moving image and audio\, and I find it’s often best to simply let energy\, whether visual or auditory\, expend itself while the audience passively observes. There’s beauty in the mundane\, we just have to get the right vantage point. \nNEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception of Trees in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Spirit Room for the celebration of “Trees in Transition\,” a collection of finely carved wooden sculptures in various themes by Jim Motl\, and a collection of fine Tibetan thangka paintings. \nJim is originally from Bismarck\, ND\, but has lived in Fargo for the past twenty-four years. He has held a variety of skilled professions including farmer-rancher\, welder\, machinist\, boiler operator and maintenance mechanic.\nJim began practicing meditation with Dawn Morgan at the Spirit Room eight years ago. Jim continued the group practice\, finding that it helped calm his mind and provided more clarity and focus. Over time attending these weekly meditations led into discussions of Buddhism and to attending the weekly Buddhist book club. Through the discussion of Buddhist texts\, he began incorporating some of these practices into his daily life\, finding they further aided in his focus for sculpting. Eventually he visited Minneapolis where he attended retreats with Khenpo Sherab Sanpo\, which transitioned him to accept Buddhism as his personal philosophy. \nWhile aiding a friend six years ago in removing an ironwood tree\, Jim became inspired to embark upon chainsaw carving\, though once he began\, he found he couldn’t stop until the finer details had been ebbed and eddied to the surface using dremels\, carving knives\, and staining. Instead of ending up as firewood the tree became a Tiki statue\, a Buddha and two dragons. Jim says he believes he is sculpting trees\, not wood\, as the original tree is kept in mind during its transformation. \nThe reception will be held on Thursday\, September 7th at 5:00 p.m. \nFood and drink will be available\, and the event is open and free to the public. For those unable to attend in person the artist talks will be streamed through Facebook Live.\n“Trees in Transition” is made possible through funding in part by North Dakota Council on the Arts and the Arts Partnership.\nWho: Open to the public\nCost: Free\nContact Us: fargospiritroom@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Beneath the Surface - at Gallery 4
DESCRIPTION:Carol Rogne has been passionate about art her whole life. When she went to college\, she got to the a’s in the college catalog\, and debated between art or accounting.
