On Sunday, October 2, ArtOrg is honored to open an exhibit of 13 artists called “Glen Hanson Gallery: Now and Then”. The Glen Hanson Gallery ran from 1978 to 1982 and anchored the Minneapolis Warehouse District along with the next-door New French Café. Please go to our main page that tells about the exhibit; here we show some historical references, a photoset of the opening preparations, and two videos about Glen Hanson himself.

All of the artists in the exhibit continue to work today: Bruce Anderson, Steve Beyer, Richard Cooper, Harmony Hammond, Glen Hanson, Steve Hartman, Philip Larson, Mike Manzavrakos, John Marshall, Stuart Nielsen, Tom Rose, T.L. Solien, and Steve Sorman. We will be exhibiting one new work and one old work from each artist. The opening event for the exhibit will be on Sunday, October 2 and will start at 3 pm. There will be a performance by the Glen Hanson Band about 4 pm, followed by food at 5 pm, and then comments in the gallery at 7 pm. Please join us.

In that single event, a team of artists printed for 335 people–nearly at a rate of one print per minute. Of course, it is not really about the numbers, so we ask you to browse through photos of a few of the artists as photographed holding their original print. A big round of thanks go to Continue Reading…
