FIGHT LIKE A MOTHER!
Filed Under art, businesses | Leave a Comment
As always, wealthy business men are handing out million dollar bonuses, while education & healthcare are being cut. Sports stadiums are being built, while thousands of children sleep in shelters every night. Billions are spent to create & drop bombs on defenseless women & children all over this world, while people claim to be “pro-life”.
It makes us want to… “FIGHT LIKE A MOTHER!” Please join us at the ColorWheel Gallery to Celebrate Mothers expressing the hopes, fears, joy, challenges, love & demands of motherhood thru visual art. (painting, collage, textiles, photography, jewelry, sculpture, poetry, song & spoken word.)
Saturday May 12th 2:00-8:00pm (Spoken word, music, poetry section of the show will be at 2 different times. 4:00pm & 6:00pm that day. )
Featuring Artists, Tammy Ortegon, Melodee Strong, Jane Evershed, Andrea Jenkins, Sandy Parnell, Neza S.G, Gretchen Seichrist, Ayanna Muata, Gloria Larsen, Mandy Cox, Alison Love Unzelman, Robin Getsug, Westy Copeland, Tracine D Asberry, Kelly Newcomer, Love Nyala, Charlotte Alvarez, Loralee Brumund, Stephanie Carlson, Linda Breitag & Paulina Jacobsson.

Ashle Briggs Horton, Southwest Minneapolis Patch
The sixth annual Kingfield Community Art Show and Silent Auction was held Friday evening, April Fools Day, from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at the Center for Performing Arts. The theme this year was “April Foolishness.”
This marked the first time the event was held at the Center for Performing Arts, a space that posed some interesting challenges, with set up for the show having to be scheduled around dance classes. Anodyne and Rau + Barber have hosted the art show and silent auction in the past.
