We are looking for a few more artists interested in participating in Glensheen’s 16th Annual Festival of Fine Art and Craft on August 15 and 16. An abundance of jewelers have already applied for the show, so non-jewelers are especially appreciated. Details and an application are available on Glensheen’s website — glensheen.org — or feel free to call 726-8921.
Russell V. Gran is the oldest (age 74) artist residing at Washington Studios Artists’ Co-op, but is certainly not the least eccentric. The door to his apartment at Washington is adorned with various quotations and newspaper clippings, with most of them involving some sort of commentary on the aging process.
Several local artists will be shown at the North End Art Gallery, corner of Hammond & Broadway in Superior, on July 2, 5-8 and Sat, July 3, 10-4. 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Relay for Life in Superior for the American Cancer Society. A few confirmed artists: Ed Newman, Chris Bode, Joni Tauzell, Luke Krisak, and Jeredt Runions. Please stop by!. Please send an e-mail to [email protected] with any question.
If you’re wondering what “Sound Unseen” is and are seeing people around town sporting badges, T-shirts, carrying programs and what not — wonder no more! Duluth’s inaugural film + music festival has been underway since Wednesday and you can still come out and be a part of it! Tickets are available at: soundunseenduluth.com.
Today we’ve got loads of films playing at Spirit of the North Theater at Fitger’s, Zinema 2 and Marshall Performing Arts Center. Also, get ready for some great rock and roll from local darlings the Keep Aways, Twin Cities rockers Gasoline Silver and the electrifying duo of Gay Witch Abortion! All for the very very low price of $5!
For their Senior Capstone project, Marshall School seniors Katie Kronzer, Yoon Tack, Gunnar O’Neill Sengbush, and Hannah Curwin will be hosting a benefit concert for the Boys & Girls Club of the Northland. The concert will feature the four seniors performing popular songs from artists such as John Mayer, the Wreckers, Jason Mraz, and the Beatles. Please come and join them in supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northland!

I just wanted to share with you all a book my wife and I published called Elephant and Hare. She wrote the story based a Maasai folk tale her grandmother told her when she was a little girl growing up in Kenya. I drew the pictures.
It went on sale this morning at our website: LetsGoSafariKids.com
Cheers!

The staff at Sound Unseen are both very anxious, nervous and incredibly excited to kick-off Duluth’s inaugural international film + music festival at Sacred Heart Music Center! If you are still on the fence about what to do Wednesday night, let us remind you that we’re premiering two films at our Opening Night: locally produced Google Goes to Twin Ports and Feed the Fish!
Tonight at 5:30 p.m. in the Duluth Art Institute Depot galleries: A tour and talk with Pat Farrell, Geography professor at UMD on the new exhibit: “National Geographic Greatest Portraits.”
A Winter Downpour made its Duluth debut this past May at “New Band Night” during the Homegrown Music Festival. Now we take the second step in becoming a certified Twin Ports band by crossing the bridge for our second show and playing at Thirsty Pagan. Hope to see you there. This is a free show. Plus our friends Atlas Mts. and The Hotel Coral Essex are joining us.

We’re so excited, we’re doing back flips here! Of course, this is leading to serious injuries and skyrocketing group insurance rates, but here’s the skinny:
Community radio station WOJB is presenting The Hold Steady with special guests The Whigs from Athens GA and Milwaukee’s best kept secret, Jaill in concert July 2 at the Lac Courte Oreilles Convention Center, four miles east of Hayward at the junction of County Highways B & K.
And only 20 bucks in advance! Tickets are available at www.wojb.org or by Visa/MC over the phone at 800-776-3689.
We can hardly believe our festival will begin a week from today! Eeep! We are buzzing with nervousness and excitement — we truly hope to see all of you out and about! If you haven’t visited our website yet, please do as our full schedule is up and you can download a PDF of our program and a quick music and film schedule to put right in your pocket!
Who is interested in attending a short experimental music fest in Duluth? I’ve got interested performers and workshop presenters. I could probably wrangle some funding, too. I’m looking at some time in the fall for a Friday-Saturday kind of thing. Still need a venue, a couple of interested volunteers and a potential crowd of workshop participants and performance attendees. Express your desires here or contact me directly through my web site.
Looking for local graffiti artists for hire. If your work involves tagging and original art (not Disney characters or something silly like that) please give me a shoutola.
