Artisan Tax Talk: Not many people are excited about doing their taxes, but when you combine "the artistic personality" with a fairly unstructured occupation, it can become, in the words of Annie Dugan, "daunting, confusing and surprisingly unfair." Never fear: the Superior Artisans are here with tomorrow's Artisan Tax Talk, an evening with an artist-friendly tax expert to help answer all your questions.
Ladies Drawing Night: Wednesday, Studio Haiku is holding this chance for you to combine making, thinking, community and cameraderie, with special guest star Tin Cup Design.
January Art Opening Reception: Thursday, the Duluth Coffee Company plays host to the opening of a double exhibition: the work of Alyssa Johnson (Blind Spot Creatives) and Christopher Dunn (Roostertail Ink).
Friends of Ivy Vainio got to share the wonderful experience and she and her husband and a carload of friends headed west to Bismarck, ND on Friday to have their portraits made by artist Shane Balkowitsch for an upcoming exhibit called "Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective".
You can read Ivy's post here, alone with an explanation of the details in her outfit, and learn more about the artist, Shane Balkowitsch and his 172-year old photo process here.
