Thinking Out of the Box: A CALL FOR ARTISTS

Creative solutions, unusual juxtapositions, innovative use of materials…Kingfielders are a revolutionary crowd! This year’s 5^th Annual Community Art Show asks local artists and community members to create 2-dimensional or 3D art that expresses their creativity and presents something outside of the ordinary 4-sided straight walls of our regular world.   

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

To register, visit www.kingfield.org or call 612-823-5980 AFTER December 15,2009!

Come see the show, enjoy some Nicollet Pothole Icecream, and take home one of the youth-made portraits at this celebration of youth and art!

“Our Youth/Our Future” Public Art Project focuses on youth portraiture, celebrating the diversity of culture, appearance, learning and ideas in our community.  All neighbors are invited to see the talent and diversity in our community before the art is spread throughout the city as one-of-a-kind yard-signs which display the faces of our youth and our future!  Visit here for more information.
