Shameless Self-Promotion: The Ship Is A Destination, Caroline
1 Jan
Welcome to 2010, and it only seems fitting that the first post of the new year is an invitation to an evening of music, performance and art in order to support a couple wonderful artists. Dancer Anna-Marie Shogren and visual artist Margaret Coleman have been accepted to an artist residency in Skagastron, Iceland, to make new works in a bucolic fishing village of 600 people in one of the most breath-taking landscapes in the world. Which is damn exciting. To help fund this trip (Iceland’s economy may have crashed, but it still ain’t cheap getting there) The Ship Is A Destination, Caroline is an art event fundraiser being hosted at the Art of This Gallery in South Minneapolis. Featuring music from Chokecherry and Bla Bla Blacksheep, a mailable art show (buy the art and then have it sent to you from Iceland!) and performance from McLaughlin&Shogren (Shogren’s new company with KatieRose McLaughlin), Megan Mayer, Charles Campbell of Skewed Visions and yours truly with “The Depressed Person Tells A Joke“, bring yourself for the warmth and support. Takes place Saturday, January 2nd. Doors at 7pm with a sliding scale donation $10-$25. It’s a little bit here, but it’ll take you far across the world.
I don’t see a date listed?…
Oops – It’s tonight, January 2nd.
