MINNEAPOLIS 55408
The Intersection of Art and Community

Reception: 8:00 – 11:30 PM

Intermedia Arts proudly presents the 12th annual installment of MINNEAPOLIS 55408, the multimedia, multi-artist exhibition that displays new works from Minneapolis’ most creative zip code. Called the “artiest city west of the Mississippi” by USA Today, Minneapolis is a Mecca for artists and art lovers. Minneapolis 55408 will surprise and delight audiences, as they discover the unique artistic voices this neighborhood has to share!

For the past 12 years, Intermedia Arts has proudly opened its galleries to 55408 artists of all levels of experience. Minneapolis 55408 creates a sense of community for many artists who may not have an opportunity to show work in more traditional gallery settings. This annual exhibition of work by artists who live or work in the 55408 zip code serves an avenue for neighborhood artists to connect to each other, share experiences and sell their work.

More than 40 artists have come together for this year’s eclectic exhibition: painting, sculpture, photography, illustration and more will be collected in Intermedia Arts’ gallery for our community to explore and celebrate.

Join us at our Opening Night Reception on Friday, March 14th for an evening of community dialogue, excellent art, wine, beer, appetizers and dancing. Special guest and 55408 curator-alum Mike Hoyt brings the noise as DJ and the host of the Second Annual Karaoke Blowout. Visit www.intermediaarts.org for more information.

“… To have this unique and nurturing venue for showing work means so much to non-professional artists like myself, for whom art – even if not our living—is so vital.” —Florence Brammer, former Minneapolis 55408 artist

Advise and Dissent: Sparkle Jones

By Twin Cities teens , ThreeSixty

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing. This opinion came from Your Turn — Teens advise the next president on what youth need.

Abortion: I believe taking away a woman’s right to abortion is taking away her freedom. There are diverse reasons why abortion is the best option. There may be rape; few people want a reminder of a traumatic event. There may also be financial issues; many women just can’t afford children. Additionally, women with weak emotional states frequently turn to alcohol and drugs and this dependency leads to abuse and/or neglect of her kids … If a woman makes this call, or wants the option to make this call, why do people pass judgment? Hard decisions are based on beliefs and if you make a decision based on what you believe, then everyone should both accept and respect your decision. — Sparkle Jones, 17, Humboldt High School MORE »

THEATER | Soap opera star returns home to Osseo to pull off a Christmas "Miracle"

By Jean Gabler , TC Daily Planet

Yellow Tree Theatre is a professional theater created in a space vacated by an Osseo furniture store. The stage was created by dropping black curtains and building risers on three sides for a small audience. Two months ago, with rehearsals set to begin, they suddenly lost the rights to their holiday show: Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. Three weeks later, playwright Jessica Lind, a co-founder of the company, had written Miracle on Christmas Lake and they were back in business. MORE »
