The Avivo quilts on the first floor are for sale.  All money raised will go entirely to Avivo Village. \nServices at Avivo Village are designed with the goal of moving people into permanent housing and taking the next steps toward their well-being.  Avivo Village is located at 1251 North Washington in Minneapolis. The TOGS quilt group is one of several quilting groups that make quilts for the residents to offer them comfort and warmth.  The quilt is theirs to keep and take with them when they leave the Village. For more information about the Avivo Village\, please go to avivomn.org. \n801 Gallery is located in the North Loop Neighborhood in Downtown Minneapolis in the 801 Washington Lofts.

The gallery views this year’s exhibition as a reaffirmation that the act of making art speaks to hope and to life itself even in uncertain times. \n\n“Open Loop 2026 emphasizes themes which emerged from the submissions that evolved around memory\, identity\, and migration. The exhibition will examine current events\, personal histories\, and our collective investment in fighting for the future we want to see.” — Kylie Linh Hoang \n\nWe are truly impressed by the scope and quality of the submissions received from across Minnesota and thank the nearly 160 artists who submitted their work for Open Loop 2026. It is clear that there is an incredible depth of creativity and dedication\, and we are grateful for this collective community of artists. \nAruna Rangarajan\, Attila Dabasi\, Braeden Baston\, Dan Petrov\, Duddley Diaz\, Emma Hendrickson\, Erik Farseth\, Genie Hien Tran\, Graciela DeAnda\, Grover Hogan\, Hakeem Martins\, Heidi Heather\, Hilary Greenstein\, Isaiah Okongo\, Jane Meyer\, Kaitlin Wilfing\, Karla Rydrych\, Leeya Rose Jackson\, Lindsy Halleckson\, Maria Santiago\, Mark Cosimini\, Martha McQuade\, Mary Griep\, Miranda Harincar\, Nima Desai\, Rebecca Pavlenko\, Shun Yong\, Therese Zemlin\, Victoria Kosel\, Vincent DeZutti\, Zamara Cuyun\, Zoran Mojsilov \nABOUT THE JUROR \nKYLIE LINH HOANG (she/her) is a curator and public historian who believes a deep understanding of our past can lead us forward to a more vibrant future.

She has also previously held positions at the Minnesota Historical Society\, the Oakland Museum of California\, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Kylie holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Knox College and a Master of Heritage Studies and Public History from the University of Minnesota. \nTHE GALLERY \nFORM+CONTENT GALLERY is a collective art gallery operated by twelve member-artists and located in the Minneapolis North Loop since 2007.
