Meanwhile, while the dust was settling from the opening of Reader's Art, I continued to be involved with the inaugural exhibition sponsored by SMARTS (South Minneapolis Arts Business Association). The Arts of the Community opened last night at Intermedia Arts, in S. Lyndale in Minneapolis.Forty artists provided 70 pieces of art in this surprisingly competitive show. We looked at over 250 pieces of art on jury day, wonderful art, all different kinds of art, big art, little art, challenging art. This week, while I was recovering from the Reader's Art opening, David Luke hung the show. He did a marvelous job. The opening was well attended. these shots were taken toward the waning end of the night. A great time was had by all.

Through the Peep Hole
murmurs, by Minneapolis artist Debora Miller, is a subtle joy, inside and out. From inside the gallery you can peer in the twin peep holes to see the murmuring of spring.
At night, from outside, shadows of trees hover in the mid-distance of the window.
During the day, nature's own trees reflect and blend their movement with the images on the transparencies.

Reader's Art 10 the opening
Many thanks to local photographer Michael A.Shapiro for photographing the evening. The 7 pm opening was a crush of people shortly after 6:30 pm.
One of those tiny dots is the curator, Jon Coffelt.Performance artist Julia Babb speaking with Susan. Julia will have a performance at the Pillsbury House on March 31 and April 1. I was a very short person lost in the sea of people. That's me, clutching my camera. I could not get shots much above people's navels! That's Zach gesturing in the gloves. The party closed down after midnight. Stay tuned. On Monday we will have more photos from Zach.Jodi Reeb-Meyers with her miraculous floating book! Steven Berg of Steven Be, a Yarn Garage Workshop.

Reader's Art Installation Continues
The Poetry of Artists Books
The altered book in the hands of a master artist! Hands of Josephus by Miriam Schaer. Miriam's work never fails to surprise me and move me. It is poetry in form and motion.
Mary Ann Sampson's Faulkner Suite is poetry by Suue Brannan Walker.
Double Meaning of Yield by Regula Russelle has poets writing about writing poetry.
Fibonacci Flower, published by Purgatory Pie Press, illumines the poetry of mathematics.
