Earth to Space Themes Highlight Northfield ArtCrawl

January 5, 2006 By Dave Machacek

Northfield, Minn.—Fiber arts, space, family farms, young artists and the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. are the themes explored during Northfield’s winter Art Crawl on Friday, Jan. 13. Exhibitions and festivities will take place at ArtOnWater, ArtOrg’s Moving Walls Gallery and nearby Printmaking Studio, Northfield Arts Guild and the Northfield School of Arts and Technology (ARTech). All ArtCrawl events are free and open to the public.

On Jan. 13 from 6 to 10 p.m., ArtOrg’s Moving Walls Gallery will host a closing party for the exhibition “John Berkey Observed,” which was extended for an additional month due to demand. The show was one of the most financially successful in Minnesota during 2005, with proceeds benefiting ArtOrg’s nonprofit activities. ArtOrg will display custom made giclee prints of Berkey’s work and will offer discounts on orders placed during the evening.
In addition, ArtOrg will initiate an extraordinary Berkey-approved eBay auction of one of his original 1977 conce! ptual art pieces for the movie “Star Wars”—timed to close during the Jan. 13 evening festivities, which Berkey and his wife, St. Olaf College Class of 1956 member Demi Wahl Berkey, plan to attend. ArtOrg’s Moving Walls Gallery is accessible from the back parking lot at 200 Division St. S. For more information, call (507) 645-2555.

ArtOrg’s 2000 square foot Printmaking Studio will celebrate its Grand Opening with printmaking demonstrations on Friday, Jan. 13 from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 14 from noon to 4 p.m. Scott King of Red Dragonfly Press will be demonstrating letterpress techniques and local artists, inclu! ding Rick Swearer and Liz See, will demonstrate many of the available presses. The community studio was created so that working printmakers and those who want to learn about the process have a place to create and use specialized equipment, including one of the few surviving large lithography presses in the country. ArtOrg’s Printmaking Studio is located on the lower floor of 314 Division St. S., accessible by stairs near The Art Store entrance. For more information, call (507) 645-2555.
