eslie Barlow is a visual artist, educator, and cultural worker from Minneapolis, Minn. Barlow believes art and art making is both healing and liberatory, through the power of representation, witnessing and storytelling. Her life-sized oil paintings are inspired by communal and personal experiences, and often serve as both monuments to community members and explorations into how race entangles the intimate sphere of love, family, and friendship. Barlow is a recipient of the 2021 Jerome Hill ellowship, 2019 McKnight isual Artist ellowship, the 20 20 Springboard ellowship, and five Minnesota State Arts Board grants between 201 and 202 . Her work can be viewed in collections around Minnesota including at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minnesota Historical Society, Weisman Art Museum, Minnesota Museum of American Art, and US Bank Stadium. Barlow earned her Bachelor of ine Arts in 2011 from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and her Master of ine Arts in 201 from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. In addition to her studio practice, Barlow has taught at Metro State University and Carleton College, and is currently a teaching fellow at the University of Minnesota. Barlow also supports emerging artists at Public unctionary as Director of P Studios, is a part of the Creatives After Curfew mural collective, and is a 7-year volunteer for the organization MidWest Mixed. eslie Barlow is represented by Bockley Gallery.
As a lifetime fan of the fair, and both as a visitor and participant in the ine Arts exhibition, it is a true honor to share my perspective on the best work Minnesota artists have to offer. There are many interesting subject matters, methods, and materials that Minnesota artists are currently engaging with, and it is a huge challenge to narrow down hundreds of submissions to a smaller subset of works. What I focused on was selecting paintings and mixed media pieces that stood out in terms of material use, skill and storytelling, while also taking into consideration a range of perspectives that embody the uni ue and diverse spirit of our state. I wanted the selected pieces to reveal a strong sense of artistic voice pushing boundaries, making us pause or marvel, compelling us to feel, and inviting uestions or contemplation. The selections for the 202 fine arts exhibition will be a snapshot of what people are exploring and creating in this particular moment, and I hope will be a larger reflection on Minnesota as a whole.

Amjadi coruns a studio arts building and maintains a small ceramics business in the .arma Building in the northeast Minneapolis art district.
eviewing the entries for the State air Sculpture category was inspiring in the diversity and uality of creative submissions, although that also made final selections a very difficult process to say the least.
As a collected body of entries, gathering a representative sample of the remarkable diversity of style, genre and materials was a fundamental consideration. Within the work itself I looked for uality of craftsmanship and presentation, and the clarity of the artist’s voice. I was also looking for entries that were nuanced, layered with multiple meanings work that would hold my attention just a little bit longer, as if keeping secrets. The work did not disappoint
She served as President of the Minneapolis Watercolor Society from 201 -201 and served on the Board of Directors for 1 years from 200 to 2021. Her watercolors have earned numerous awards in local and national juried exhibitions.
Uni ue perspectives It is a delight to discover an original and innovative approach to subject matter. I look for distinct viewpoints and interpretations.
Engagement Artworks that strike an emotional cord captivate my interest whether it be through the use of color, subject matter, or overall atmosphere. Works that convey a sense of narrative or invite exploration keep me coming back to see more.
Strong values, technical skill and compositional strength help to select paintings for the overall exhibition. Works that demonstrate a magical combination of techni ue, emotional content and point of view earn awards.

He is represented by ubine ed Gallery in Palm Springs, Calif., and received the 2022 second place ribbon in Drawings Pastel at the Minnesota State air ine Art Exhibition. russ-white.com Instagram russwhiteart
Drawing is at the core of nearly every artistic practice, existing sometimes as a preliminary sketch, a detailed study, or, in the case of the works displayed here, a finished piece. We learn to draw before we learn to write, and our drawing styles and subjects are as personal to us as our handwriting. In jurying this category, my main criterion is impact. That can come from technical proficiency, subject, composition, context, or usually a combination thereof. When you leave this exhibition after seeing all of these works, consider which ones do you remember Which ones stick with you
Pamela Carberry has a Bachelor of ine Arts from Pennsylvania State University and holds a Master of ine Arts from Kent State University
Pamela is a printmaker and is presently a member of Highpoint Center for Printmaking. She has taught drawing and printmaking at various locations including Kent State University in Kent, hio, ygote Press in Cleveland, hio and Printer’s Gallery in Ithaca, ew ork and Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, Minn.

Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally and is in numerous permanent collections.
As a juror for the Minnesota State air Printmaking section I’m looking for a sense of coordination, artistry, composition, design, originality and creativity. The print should be compelling with an irresistible visual impact. It should be memorable and often hard to put into words. I want to be drawn to it and keep coming back to embrace the image. Printmaking offers limitless image making possibilities and therefore successful craftsmanship of the printmaking medium and presentation will be a component of the judging. I’m looking at the composition, the unity of the print, the whole impression. The image’s use of thoughtful design, balance, movement, rhythm will be accessed. The print should work together as a whole. An accepted print will present creativity and a uni ue perspective or uni ue voice. I’m looking for a print that captures a truth and makes the viewer feel something. Ultimately the accepted print will capture a moment, a feeling and a perspective that is uni ue and compelling.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from St laf College in orthfield, Minn. My degree work included art history, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking lithography, etching, and serigraphy , exhibit design, and ceramics functional and sculptural . Twenty-some years as a ceramics instructor at Minnetonka Center for the Arts and other venues, serving a variety of students’ needs and curiosities, has taken my clay work beyond my initial stylistic inclinations and pushed it in a variety of directions. Teaching has been a great way to develop more skills and interests in this medium.
As Exhibits Director at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts, curating, designing and installing exhibits at the Art Center and other venues, jurying art fairs and events, and scouting art fairs and studio tours searching for new artists for exhibits, I’ve had the opportunity to experience and learn about a broad range of the art and fine craft produced in our region.
Spending time with a group of artworks, whether in an exhibition or during a jury process, allows first impressions to fade and uieter ualities to emerge. Some pieces run out of things to say, while others pull me back for another look. There are formal aspects to consider - the piece’s aesthetic language, and how fully realized it is - but there’s also that indefinable it factor... I’m especially interested in pieces that convey a strong sense of what their maker enjoys about creating art- whether passion, obsession or simply delight.
I was introduced to rug weaving 45 years ago by a innish woman that immigrated to the north shore of ake Superior. The tradition of using recycled clothing to weave decorative and functional household items appealed to both my creative and thrifty nature. I’ve woven hundreds of yards of rugs for people, developing my own style and color schemes. I am continually experimenting with different patterns, my own dyed cloth and yarn, and new cotton fabrics to create contemporary designs from a traditional craft.
What I was looking for when judging the entries was a sense of color, a creative spark or idea and attention to techni ue. It was difficult to choose because there were many more entries that I wanted to include but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Thank you for your wonderful art.
Photographer Kristine Heykants is preoccupied with the presentation of roles in history and the media. She is interested in archetypes- symbols and behaviors existing throughout time- as a way to describe roles continually played and endeavors to divest colonial and patriarchal attachment to her stories as a counterpoint to the dominant narrative.
Most recently, she traveled to Greece to photograph and video ancient ruins for uination, an ongoing project about the origins of our nation’s democratic ideals. She also completed work on Uprooted, a long-term documentary project on her father’s rural Iowa hometown. This year she created a commission for Hennepin Theatre Trust’s public art project which highlights the lives of people who live, work and study on Minneapolis’ most famous street. Kristine holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of Iowa, and a Bachelor of ine Art in Art and Design from Iowa State University. A longtime resident of Minneapolis, she has received grants from the Jerome oundation, McKnight oundation and the Minnesota State Arts Board. She exhibits widely and teaches Digital Media at Minneapolis College.
I am looking for images that give witness to the breadth and depth of human experience in a way that is unexpected, with the desire to assemble a collection of images that represents photographic practice in Minnesota in 202 in a holistic and inclusive way. Within the context of the State air where artists are limited to one entry, there is the added challenge of creating a statement or narrative in one image. I am excited to see pictures that make me want to learn more about the subject and the photographer.
This special exhibition provides a window into the practicing artists’ studio to see the labor of art-making in action. Great art objects rarely tumble out as perfect, crystalline, materpieces, but rather are the result of hours of intense activity, reworking, deliberation, and research. We invited the twelve participating artist to use their time in our gallery as a twelve-hour working studio day. In addition, they have all set aside time during this working day to actively interact with our viewers: this may be talking about the piece they are working on specifically, speaking about their past work or practices, or simply fielding questions.

I create artwork loaded with heirloom bits and found pieces. The joy I derive from mosaic goes hand in hand with my love of collecting objects that provoke strong memories.
Throughout my life, my artistic pleasure has come from hoarding and sorting sentimental curios. This has led me to the art of mosaic where I can use my beads, dishes, vintage jewelry, mirrors, shells and ceramics objects. Employed as a graphic designer, I honed the skill of simplicity, clarity and composition.
My process starts with a narrative, then I walk amongst my materials, rarely needing to obtain more. The textures and color of vintage dishes and objects surprise and delight me. ecently the portrait format has been my greatest challenge and pleasure.

I describe my painting style as folk surrealism. Mixing a whimsical and folky, storybook-es ue style with a surreal edginess, I create paintings much like a writer might compose a story. Much of my work is highly narrative and character driven. ature and the mystical realm inspire me greatly and this is where many of my ideas begin.
When I was a kid, though there were moments of pure joy and hope, much of my childhood was a chaotic, lonely and scary time. Creating has always provided a way for me to work through difficult experiences and emotions and to connect with other people. It has saved me. My hope is that when people see my work they feel connection, something familiar within themselves, seen. ften, I collage pages from my beloved childhood dictionary or other books into the backgrounds of my paintings. I create an underpainting in acrylic, then I finish with layers and glazes of oil paint to add luminosity and richness. I have such gratitude for this incredibly rewarding career and for the people who have supported me. Every sold painting, every commission, every comment, like or conversation means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my very joyful heart
She . I am an abstract painter and collage artist. I bring together the past and the present, creating connections with other people as I learn to connect to all the aspects of myself, breaking down self-imposed barriers and those imposed by others.
My work has always been driven by a desire to create a special place for myself and for all who consider themselves outsiders. We live in a world that insists on binary thought white black, good bad, male female. This stifles who we truly are and what we can become beautifully multi-layered and multi-faceted, distinct yet united. or me, that is one of the tasks of art to help create places where everyone can breathe and live free. Through art, we can help create a world where differences flourish and love obliterates hate.
I worked as a theater artist for 20 years, as a playwright, actor, and director. I toured my one woman trilogy of plays, Growing Up ueer in America , around the US, including extended runs in os Angeles and Seattle. I was also a teacher for 20 years and am grateful for all I learned from my students. Since I left theater and teaching I have been actively engaged in learning how and why to put color, image and line together in a way that has emotional, intellectual and spiritual resonance.
I am a member of orm Content Gallery. My work can be seen at www.chriscin ue.com, acebook and Instagram.
Matt Kania is a plein air and studio oil painter from Duluth, Minn His paintings are often cited for their uni ueness in subject matter and distinctive representation.
Matt says I have been direct painting for about 15 years and I love how this form of artistry connects me to the surrounding world. It is thrilling to create something from scratch on a blank canvas. The act of direct painting from nature enriches my joy for life and it helps me to be fully engaged in my environment. I gain a much greater sense of place by painting than by merely observing as a passerby. Subjects will vary greatly for me from universally recognized beautiful natural landscapes to cultural landmarks, to historic events, to people engaged in their own environment. It is the experience of direct observation through painting that helps me to learn from and share the amazing landscapes of life. Ultimately, my intent as an oil painter is to create paintings that will tell stories or spark memories for their viewers
C Martin she, they is a ueer figurative artist who uses traditional media like charcoal, graphite and acrylic paint on paper to experiment with enigmatic characters and their own uni ue identity and presence.

Emilie Bouvier is an artist and community organizer in Minnesota’s Twin Cities. Emilie works in historic alternative process photography and clay, finding her practice fueled by the process-oriented nature of these mediums. She is drawn to the places where land history, story, and spiritual theological traditions meet and how those intersections can open up through image-making. Emilie’s art-making is at once a deeply internal practice and one that consistently is strengthened and shared in community. Her spiritual grounding and work within the utheran faith community has been a consistent thread through both.
Emilie received her Masters of Art from uther Seminary in 2014, where she concurrently served as resident artist. She has since held residencies at Pilgrim utheran Church in St. Paul, Minn. 2015 and Holden illage in Chelan, Wash. 201 . In 2019, she returned to Holden for a year-long stint as illage Artist.
