Monday, May 7th come to the lower level of Ushers and if you’d like please bring 1-2 works of art that you would like others to critique. Artists will critique/talk about each others’ work. If you don’t have a work, you can still participate and see what others are working on.  Appetizers will be served. You can purchase the beverage of your choice. It is another night to talk about art. Food! Beverage! and Art! – Can’t get any better than this!

We will be meeting at 7pm in the lower level of Ushers in Moorhead. The address is 700 1st Avenue North Moorhead‎

During the week of May 7th to 11th, citizens of Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN will clean out their houses and put the unwanted items on the curb (or berm). Other residents cruise around town to sift through the piles and collect items to bring back to their own homes. It is a quiet, wonderful exchange of property without the exchange of money.

Our project will take this one step further by first transforming the discarded items into unique pieces.

On June 23th, participating artists along with several musicians, will hold a yard sale to share the pieces they created. The artists decide if they want to sell, trade or freely share the work.

Join us for music, art and a celebration of creative exchange.

10:00:00 AM
