Located in our classroom at 711 Laurel St, downtown Brainerd.

10am to 12pm – Meet our featured Member Artist, Karen Smith. Working in the medium of alcohol inks, Karen’s work focuses on the infinite energy in all things. The movement and flow within her work can be seen in the beautiful patterns that are created when the inks finally settle. She paints intuitively and gets lost in the vibrant colors that are incorporated into her pieces, often being surprised by the time that has passed creating them. View some of her pieces on display, talk with her, and learn more about the process for creating her artwork.

10am to 2pm – In our gallery, our current exhibition, ‘The Prince Cherrywood Challenge’, an exhibition of art quilts will be on display. Featuring a room full of 20-inch quilt squares using all the same purple fabric and inspired by Prince and the huge legacy he left behind. You will see Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Paisley Park, First Avenue and countless other references to Prince’s life, music and home. The variety and techniques used are incredible, and you will want to study each one more closely after taking in the whole collection.
