Current Exhibition "What is Home?"
Lake Region Arts Council is hosting a juried multi-artist exhibition until March 13th, 2025 in the Main LRAC Gallery. The title of the exhibition is, "What is Home?". Artists were asked to create artwork that defines the concept of “Home” for them. This could be a place, a time, an object or a feeling. This exhibition has something for everyone to enjoy and every artist has written an artist statement to explain, “What is Home?” to them. The exhibition opens today, January 13th and we invite you to take the time to visit our gallery and be inspired by the art and learn what “Home” means to them.
The public reception will be Tuesday, January 21st, 5:30-7pm that is open to the public and we will have food and drinks. We will have a guest artist for the public reception on Tuesday, January 21st, Su Smallen Love who will be speaking at 6pm that evening. As a visiting writer to our gallery, Su will spend time with the juried artwork in the LRAC Main Gallery and she will create poems based on the artwork in the gallery and share those writings with us the evening of January 21st. Su has presented at several colleges, universities, and arts organizations including Salmon Literary Centre, Ireland; American Space Madrid/Instituto internacional; and across Minnesota, including Hamline University’s series “Poetry as Vocation” with Robert Bly. Love’s five published books of poetry include Weight of Light (Laurel Poetry Collective, 2004), nominated for the Pushcart Editors’ Book Prize, Buddha, Proof (broadcraft press/Red Dragonfly Press, 2013), a Minnesota Book Award finalist, and The Memoir of Mona Lisa (Salmon Poetry, 2019). Su Love is a fiscal year 2024 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Su received additional funding from the St. Croix Watershed Research Station and from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s Next Step Fund, made possible with support from the McKnight Foundation.
