ART365 kicks off Nov. 1

Organized by Northeast Minneapolis Arts District volunteers, ART365 invites the public to visit one featured working artist’s studio in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District each day of the year, noon-5 pm. It promises more individual attention than the large open studio events, and invites artists to visit each other.

The initiative will launch Friday, Nov. 1, at Mercury Mosaics, in the Thorpe complex, 1620 Central Ave. NE, suite 125, at noon, with a ribbon cutting, tours of the tile-making operation, and a mosaic demonstration.

ART365 participants in the first part of November include: California Building and Casket Arts Buildings, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 2 and 3, along with many other buildings open for their first weekend in November events; Patty Canney, painter, Monday, Nov. 4; Aldo Moroni, sculptor, Friday, Nov. 8; and Justin Hossle, Saturday, Nov. 9, with classes in making cutting boards from various woods.

Other dates will be filled soon. Info and schedule: northeastminneapolisartsdistrict.org/calendar, or contact Margo Ashmore at 612-867-4874 or margo@mynortheaster.com. Artist demo experiences and tours can be arranged for groups as well as open to individuals.
