SUMMARY:A-Mill Artist Lofts Will Again be Open for the 2017 Art-A-Whirl
DESCRIPTION:KIM ESLINGER : Mill City Times : April 24\, 2017 \n\nA-Mill Artist Lofts will open their live/work spaces during Art-A-Whirl 2017. \nOver 70 artists\, including residents and their guests\, will display throughout the building with a special exhibition by Minneapolis College of Art and Design(MCAD) students in the gallery. In addition\, there will be over 20 performing artists live in 3 separate spaces throughout the 3 day event May 19-21. \nPatrons are encouraged to explore the open lofts\, gallery spaces\, dance studio\, performance hall and more using A-Mill’s “Come Get Lost In Creative Space” interactive guide. Food and drink will be for sale by Eli’s Food and Cocktail on Friday May 19 and Saturday May 20. A special creative children’s workshop will be hosted from 12-3pm on Sunday May 21 in the performance hall. \nAbout the A-Mill building\nCharles Alfred Pillsbury was known as a visionary leader in his industry\, constantly rethinking and reinventing processes to become one of the foremost businessmen of his age. One of his great innovations: the idea that an industrial building should be architecturally pleasing. \nDesigned by prominent Minneapolis architect LeRoy S. Buffington\, the Pillsbury A-Mill\, located at 315 Main Street SE Minneapolis\, is a masterpiece of industrial design that served as the largest flour mill in the world for 40 years. It is one of only three Minneapolis structures designated as a National Historic Landmark (one of only 26 in Minnesota). In fact\, the Mississippi River was diverted through the building to provide power during its flour milling days\, and water continues to flow underfoot today.

SUMMARY:NORTHERN SPARK 2017  Climate Chaos | People Rising
DESCRIPTION:Northern Spark is a free all-night art festival exploring the effects of climate change through participatory projects happening in neighborhoods along Metro Transit’s Green Line. \nFrom sunset on June 10 to sunrise on June 11\, Northern Spark will illuminate and draw audiences to neighborhoods and public spaces all along the METRO Green Line\, connecting Minneapolis and Saint Paul.  Experience the largest Northern Spark yet\, with nearly 70 art projects organized around neighborhood nodes: Cedar Riverside/West Bank\, Weisman Art Museum/East Bank\, Little Africa/Snelling Ave\,Rondo/Lexington Ave\, and Little Mekong/ Western Ave. In downtown Minneapolis the festival moves from its usual river location to The Commons\, the new green space at Portland and 5th\, and culminates in Saint Paul at Union Depot\, the Green Line terminus in Lowertown. \n\nAct\nFor Northern Spark 2017\, we have challenged every artist to translate their project into an action you can do on the spot or in the future or every day going forward. Something to cherish\, nourish\, explore\, encourage\, modify\, argue with\, live by\, do. Some may think that these actions are trivial. We believe they are not. Taken together\, whether over the course of one night or every day for the next four years\, they represent the people rising. Only together can we make change. \nThe spirit of Northern Spark 2017 is dedicated to this desire to make a difference through action. Through hundreds of participatory performances\, installations and surprising experiences\, this year’s festival asks: What are the actions we can take individually and collectively to cumulatively create the conditions for change? \nLet us be clear. With regard to climate change and its effects\, science matters. Politics matters. Economics matters. No dispute. And culture matters. Not just as a means to motivate people to call their Senator. Not just as a message to join a march. Not just as incentive to contribute money. As important as these actions are. Culture is how we imagine the world we want to live in; the world we want our children to grow up in. Artists are extraordinary culture workers\, collectively shaping the world we inhabit as surely as any billionaire data miner\, with as effective a pulpit as any politician\, as deftly as the most accomplished machinist or coder. Art changes culture\, which makes a difference. A critical difference. \nPartners and Collaborators\nNorthern Spark 2017 is organized differently than any festival to date. \nWe’re working with neighborhoods and communities directly to bring a more diverse set of artistic voices into a conversation about how to change our cultural climate about the environment. \nThis year we’re excited to introduce the first Northern Spark Program Council\, a leadership group of artists working with Northern Lights.mn and our Neighborhood Partners to inspire participation from artists and residents in cultural communities along the Green Line. In 2017 the Program Council is organizing artists in Little Mekong\, Little Africa\, Rondo\, and on the West Bank to present projects at Northern Spark that respond to climate change from culturally diverse perspectives. \nNorthern Spark 2017 Program Council: Adan Dirie\, Sara Endalew\, Graci Horne\, Filsan Ibrahim\, Pa Na Lor\, Brittany Lynch\, Sagirah Shahid\, Aki Shibata-Pliner and Ahmed Yusuf. \nNorthern Spark 2017 Neighborhood Partners:  Asian Economic Development Association (AEDA)\, African Economic Development Solutions (AEDS)\, The West Bank Businesses Association (WBBA)\, Aurora St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation (ASANDC). \nAnd as with every iteration of Northern Spark\, we are grateful to our numerous Presenting Partners: \nAltered Aesthetics\, Arts Culture and the Creative Economy of the City of Minneapolis\, Danza Espanola\, Forecast Public Art\, Hennepin County Library\, Minneapolis College of Art and Design\, Minnesota Museum of American Art\, Minnesota Sacred Harp Singing Convention\, Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light\, Mizna\, Motion Poems\, Patrick’s Cabaret\, Printland Press\, Public Art Saint Paul\, Somali Museum of Minnesota\, Saint Paul Saints\, St. Cloud State University Art Dept.\, Saint Paul Public Library\, Textile Center and Weaver’s Guild of Minnesota\, The Southern Theater\, TPT\, Union Depot\, UW-Stout School of Art and Design\, Weisman Art Museum\, Zeitgeist \nCross-Sector Collaboration\nClimate change at Northern Spark 2017 is not just about the rising of temperatures and sea levels\, but the rising of people and our collective power. Climate Rising Collaboration (CRC) is a set of projects that pairs artists with organizations working directly on issues concerning energy\, environmental justice and climate change. Artists and staff work together to find connections while the organization lends its resources and expertise to help each project reach its zenith. \nCRC is a collaboration to take our Climate Chaos | People Rising theme from theory to practice. We believe that in order to develop realistic and hopeful maps for the future in the face of real and growing climate chaos\, artists\, scientists\, policymakers and activists will need to collaborate. \nClimate Rising Collaboration Partners: Climate Generation\, Conservation MN\, Minnesota Center for Energy and Environment\, MN350\, Neighborhoods Organizing for Change\, Take Action \nPeople Rising\nThe theme Climate Chaos | Climate Rising launched at Northern Spark 2016 with an audience of 37\,000 people who wandered\, engaged\, and explored together through an array of participatory art projects focused on Earth’s changing environments. We learned many specific things from the tastiness of dandelions to the composition of local soil samples to the way resource use in the global north affects the global south\, which relates directly to complex issues of power and privilege. Above all\, we learned that festival goers are at once inspired and daunted by the challenges posed by climate change. Being together at Northern Spark\, however\, left us all feeling that none of us is alone in this. Encouraged by this spirit of collectivity\, we changed the title of the 2017 festival to Climate Chaos | People Rising\, because only as #people rising\, we can make a difference. \nSupported by\nNorthern Spark 2017 is generously supported by a number of committed foundations and grantors. In particular\, we would like to thank Bush Foundation\, Carolyn Foundation\, Knight Foundation\, McKnight Foundation\, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. A full list of our supporters is here. \nNorthern Lights.mn\nNorthern Spark is produced by Northern Lights.mn\, a Twin Cities arts organization whose work ranges from large-scale public art platforms like Northern Spark to Art(ists) On the Verge\, a year­long mentorship program for 5 emerging artists working with innovative uses of technology. We support artists in the creation and presentation of art in the public sphere\, such as at St. Paul’s Union Depot (Amateur Intelligence Radio)\, “choir karaoke” at the Minnesota State Fair (Giant Sing Along)and most recently Words For Winter\, programming poetry into the construction landscape along Nicollet Mall. Through projects such as Ruination: City of Dust\, a location-­based environmental mystery game played on bicycles along Minnehaha Creek\, and the monthly climate conversation series\, Anthropocene Awareness Association\, our work helps audiences explore expanded possibilities for civic engagement through art.

SUMMARY:Global Water Dances - Dancing for Safe Water Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Choreographer(s): \nLori Mercil\nShe is a BFA trained dancer\, choreographer\, & instructor who has been part of the Twin Cites dance scene for the last 20 years\, working with many local artists and groups\, including Hauser Dance\, Becky Heist\, Link Vostok\, Una Setia\, Marciano Silva Dos Santos\, MotionArt\, Off-Leash Area\, Young Dance\, and Marylee Hardenbergh on many site-specific works in the area\, including as project manager for Solstice River XIX/Global Water Dance 2015. Her own work has been shown at Dances at the Lake\, Hauser Dance\, Kinetic Kitchen\, & Solstice River. Lori currently dances with Christopher Watson Dance Company\, where her work was shown in last year’s 25th Anniversary Show\, and is one of 7 other choreographers presenting work in the upcoming “16 Feet: Assorted Dances” being presented at Intermedia Arts June 8-10th. Lori is thrilled to be part of Global Water Dances again this year! \nRae Eden:\nRae Eden Frank trained with the Minnesota Dance Theater before pursuing a career in social justice. Rae currently works in the environmental health field\, and is in training to be a dance movement therapist. Rae offers community workshops using embodied movement as the medium for communication. Rae sees nature and dance as her healers and can be found dancing on the street corners or wandering in the forest. Rae is also a ritual artist and priestess of public rituals\, including the fire dance performance at an annual Brighid Festival. In 2012\, Rae was the recipient of two Irrigate Placemaking grants to develop “The Flowering Dance Project”. When not dancing\, Rae can be found spending time with her two daughters and grandson or picking up litter along the freeway. This is her fourth Global Water Dances. \nHistory of Site and Related Water Issues: \nMinnesota is home to more than 10\,000 lakes and more than 90\,000 miles of rivers and streams. Many of these waterways are threatened by pollution and agricultural practices. An estimated 40 percent of the state’s lakes and streams are polluted making them unsafe to fish from or swim in. These factors led to negative impacts on the quality of life in Minnesota. \nThe Stone Arch Bridge is a former railroad bridge crossing the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis\, Minnesota. It is the second oldest bridge crossing the Mississippi and the only arched bridge made of stone on the entire length of the Mississippi River. \nThe word Mississippi comes from Messipi\, the French rendering of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe or Algonquin) name for the river\, Misi-ziibi (Great River). St. Paul and Minneapolis rely on the Mississippi River as its source water supply. \nMusic: \nLive drumming \nThe Performance: \n16 to 20 dancers will perform in the center of the Stone Arch Bridge to live drumming. \n  \nEnvironmental Impact: \nRaising awareness about general water issues and local concerns\, and giving audience members specific information about how they can help improve water quality in the area by providing access to information tables by local water organizations at the site on the day of the performance. \nDirections to the Site of Performance: \nGoogle directions by geographical coordinates \nEmail for more information: \n\nlmercil.dancer@gmail.com\nrae8eden@hotmail.com\n\nHow can I get involved? \nDance\, drum\, water organization informational tabling\, audience participation. \nLocal Website: \nwww.globalsiteperformance.org
