There's lots to read, think and talk about art-wise this week....

- The Tweed Museum of Art will be talking about Barbara Shapiro's The Muralist on Tuesday and you're welcome to come even if you haven't read the book!

- Theartists of 4North are holding a free talk Wednesday at 5pm at the Duluth Art Institute

-  And Ann Klefstad is leading anart-making workshop Saturday called Being A Beast.  The poetry of John Clare will feature as will the strange and wonderful writings of Charles Foster, who, among other things, lived as a badger for six weeks in an effort to, what he called “grope at extreme otherness.”

To read more about Charles Foster and his year of living dangerously, here is an article from The Guardian and another from The New York Times.  

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
