The 3rd Annual Gender Joy Art Show is being held from May 4th to June 27th with an opening reception on Thursday, May 7th from 5-7pm. Organized by YWCA Duluth and PAVSA and exhibited in the Zeitgeist atrium and Teatro, this year’s show not only includes artwork from girls, women and gender expansive people but features survivor artwork from PAVSA's weekly Art Group, all representing how each finds joy in their gender. Event attendees will get a chance to express themselves in an interactive community art project hosted by Art of Presence and will have an opportunity to heal through collective action and see their collaborative piece evolve into a finished painting displayed for the remainder of the show. Light refreshments will be offered as well as an opportunity to learn more about YWCA Duluth and PAVSA’s work in our community. Most pieces of artwork will be available for purchase on YWCA Duluth’s website throughout the two-month show. Find more information at www.ywcaduluth.org/upcoming-events.

We're bringing music to The Yard!

The Gemstones are Duluth's funktastic soul/rock band hitting you hard in the groove bone - the kind of band your mom wishes she grew up listening to. Whether it be Courtney Ellian’s smooth and sultry vocals or keys playing, Manny Eisele loving the low-end on bass/vocals, Josh Nickila’s vintage sound on guitar/vocals, or Ian Hopp's “madman on funkahol" drumming/vocals; this is a powerhouse of soundscapes and all-around funk/rock sex-suasion - musically.

If the weather gets bad we'll move the music indoors!

"Spider" John Koerner. His music-- inventive originals and innovative interpretations of classic folk/blues have amazed and impressed, and his collaborations with masters like Dave Ray, Tony Glover, and Willie Murphy are legendary. Though there is ample vinyl and CD compilations, preserving the visual alchemy of John's performances are hard to come across. I convinced John to drive for 13 [long] hours to The Logging Camp Ranch, in a remote but spectacular corner of southwestern North Dakota, to tune up and let the cameras roll. Recorded July 10th, 2009.
