A twist of words, a repurpose of materials, an invention of sound or sight, an image that leaps off the wall…let your mind go free and think out of the box!
Registration Deadline: March 10, 2009
Artwork Due: March 13 and 14, 2009
Selected pieces hung for predisplay at Anodyne@43rd
All pieces sold by auction Saturday, March 20

Kingfield’s 2009 Summer Public Art Project is a partnership with Leonardo’s Basement and focuses on youth portraiture, celebrating the diversity of culture, appearance, learning and ideas in our community. This art-filled afternoon will allow families to explore faces of our community, especially their own, and learn various methods of creating portraits including digital photography, Photoshop, free-hand self-portrait painting and drawing, and screen printing.
Sunday, August 9, 1-4 PM
Leonardo’s Basement and MLK Park, 4055 and 4301 Nicollet
Some sessions request reservations and other projects are open for drop-in (see below)
This family activity is the first of a new series of family-art sessions held by Leonardo’s this fall. This celebration of youth will result in an end-of-summer art show and auction at Solomon’s Porch on Tuesday August 25th, to which all neighbors are invited to see the talent and diversity in our community before they are spread throughout our community as one-of-a-kind yard signs which display the faces of our youth and our future!
If you have questions contact Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director at 612.823.5980 or sarah@kingfield.org. To learn more about Leonardo’s future family-art sessions visit http://www.leonardosbasement.org/ in the coming weeks!
