It won't take much to find art in the Northland this week - it seems like it's everywhere.
On Tuesday, July 14th is the screening of the documentary Death of a Piano at the Zinema in Duluth at 7pm. The film by Tomas Soderberg focuses on the antics of the wildly creative, if short-lived, Sub Superior Festival in the early 2020s that involved a lot of music on homemade floatation platforms. "This amazing group of creative individuals... were thinking about the very fluid boundaries between art and life and fantasy," says Annie Dugan. "It was just for the joy of creativity and the power of human imagination." The film is about 50 minutes and will include a Q&A afterward.
From 5-7pm on Thursday, July 16th is the opening reception for Rooted Together by Sue Rauschenfels. The focus of Rauschenfels's work is trees and sisterhood. The reception takes place at Duluth Pottery. In the same building on Saturday night is a tour opportunity with the American Craft Council. Warrior Printress will open up their doors for a tour and demonstration of their old printing press.
And if you're walking around town, don't be surprised if you stumble across someone painting in the outdoors. Over 40 artists are participating in Plein Air Duluth happening this week and culminating at the Great Lakes Atelier of Fine Arts from 5-7pm on Sunday night with a display of what artists have created in Duluth this week.
You can hear Where's Art every Monday morning at 8:20 on Northland Morning.
