SUMMARY:Kawishiwi River  AARON SQUADRONI
DESCRIPTION:Kawishiwi River \nAARON SQUADRONI \nON DISPLAY OCTOBER 6 – NOVEMBER 11\, 2017\, COMMUNITY GALLERY \nArtist Statement: \n“The Midwest is presently a battleground for resources. Fracking\, oil pipelines\, mining\, and drilling are just some of the expanding industries in this region. In states like Minnesota and Wisconsin where the rugged beauty of the land is part of the state’s identity\, these new industries create strong conflicts between environmental and industrial stakeholders. In northern Minnesota\, the Duluth Complex is a geological formation bordering the Mesabi Iron Range and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It contains one of the largest untapped copper‐nickel deposits in the world. Industry representatives estimate that the new sulfide mining district could eventually exceed Minnesota’s iron ore industry in size. The issue of whether or not to establish sulfide mines so close to a protected wilderness known for its pristine water is a passionately debated topic on the Iron Range. \n‘The Kawishiwi River flows over the Duluth Complex\, and is at the center of the region in contention as mining companies are in the process of obtaining permits and conducting environmental impact studies in order to mine the area for copper\, nickel and other precious metals. The Kawishiwi River series is a collection of copper drawn land portraits. These land portraits record a history of landmarks and sacred spaces based on traditional legends\, government treaties\, current disputes\, and future visions. My intention is to create continuity where great changes have occurred in the landscape or are likely to occur in the future. Each portrait merges an image of the landscape with a symbol or object from the landscape. This catalog of imagery is meant to heighten public awareness about how the future of the Kawishiwi River will take shape\, while simultaneously preserving its identity in the past. \n‘Copper has been contained in the rocks of the Kawishiwi River for many thousands of years. It is now highly sought after by mining companies. Using copper as a drawing meduim is important to me in this series because of its role in the history of the Kawishiwi River and its impending impact on the river’s future. Copper also has a certain delicacy due to its lack of value range. The resulting lightness of the drawings require the viewer to approach close to the image. A narrative of the Kawishiwi River is revealed slowly and formed from a series of intimate exchanges between the viewer and the artworks.” – Aaron Squadroni

SUMMARY:Pieced Fabric: Historic Quilts of Ames
DESCRIPTION:Pieced Fabric: Historic Quilts of Ames \nON DISPLAY AUGUST 19 – OCTOBER 28\, 2017\, SWEENEY GALLERY \nQuilting has always been a social outlet for women in Iowa. Old quilts are personally created signed gifts from quilters of the past\, many of whom braved hardships as they sought a new life in a new land. They were made from materials collected by women who had little to spare. They are sturdy but worn from strawberry gathering\, picnics\, protecting furniture\, and birthing babies.  \nThroughout the years\, the Ames Historical Society has received a variety of beautiful quilts for their collection. Many of these quilts come from long-time Ames residents\, and tell the unique story of Ames history. The quilts tell the story of quilting as an art form for Iowa women.

SUMMARY:Saw You On The Sidewalks of Russia KAREN COOPER
DESCRIPTION:Saw You On The Sidewalks of Russia \n(видел тебя на тротуарах России!) \nOn Display August 18 – September 30\, 2017\, Community Gallery \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 26 from 3-5 P.M. \nDoesn’t matter if it’s the guy who walks in the door while we wait at the dentist’s office\, or the couple who walk by our table into the café\, the twenty-ish aged girl in the really short skirt and 4 inch heels\, or even the biker doing a wheelie on his BMX.  It’s a worldwide occupation\, this people watching gig. \nSaw You On The Sidewalks Of Russia  (видел тебя на тротуарах России!) is images\, paintings\,  of people that we want to be different\, because they live in a country on the other side of the world.  Are they so very different?  Not really – their hopes and dreams are a lot like ours.  \nWe are pulled in to see.  We are all human\, and no matter which side of the earth we live on\, no matter what the name of our country of residence\, no matter which side of the border we’re confined to – we watch. With this exhibit I give you the opportunity to watch through my artist eyes – to people watch with me.   Yes\, it’s a grand adventure. – Karen Cooper
