Things to do this weekend (April 21 & 22, 2018)

April 18, 2018 By Morgan

Spring is upon us in Minnesota, sure last week we got 15″ of snow. Sure the lakes are still frozen, but there’s an upside, Mother Nature isn’t ready for you to work in your garden yet, but you’re itching to get out and about. Here are a few fun things happening around the Twin Cities and surrounding communities.

the word art spelled out with red, yellow and blue swatches American Craft Council Art Show in St. Paul: This is one of our favorite shows of the year. It’s Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the St. Paul RiverCenter. There will be more than 200 contemporary artists’ work on display. Stop by booth #604 to see our friend Judith Kinghorn’s stunning jewelry. There are 33 clay artists, including some familiar faces from the MN Pottery Festival like Mary Joe Schmith and Kerry Brooks.

Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival 2018: Grab some popcorn and pick from any of the 250+ movies from over 70 countries that are featured this year. Don’t know which ones to see? I am Not a Witch about a young girl sent to witches camp in the Zambian desert. All You Can Eat Buddha, a delightful art-house flick. And, The Blessing, following a Navajo Nation family for five years and the challenges the family faces in their everyday lives.

The Clay Coyote 25th Annual Spring Open House:  Join us in Hutchinson on Saturday, April 21 10a-5p and Sunday, April 22 noon-4p. Featuring visiting Minnesota artists:

  • Patrick Callery from Clurichaun Workshop leather clutchesPatrick Callery of Clurichaun Workshop will be sharing his hand stitched leather work, he’s got clutches, wallets, key chains, document holders, journals, and more
  • Tom Sack will be displaying his whimsical and creative metal sculptures and garden art, his creations are sure to get you in the mood to plant your garden!

Head over to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum: It wasn’t named best botanical garden in the US for nothing. Celebrate earth Day by having brunch and then see what’s popping up for Spring.

You can keep it growing inside in a warm, sunny spot and water each day. Then, once it’s a little warmer outside you can transfer to your home garden or a larger pot.

All Aboard! A Night for the Arts

January 20, 2018 By Kylie Lawson

Every year, the Hutchinson Center for the Arts holds a charity gala called Night for the Arts. There will be local celebrities, professional artists, entertainment, and plenty of hor d’oeuvres and drinks will be served.

This year it will be held Saturday, February 17th with a “Love Boat” cruise ship theme. Guests are encouraged to wear costumes such as vacation wear, nautical themed, 70/80s attire, or come as star-studded celebrities. This event will take place at the Crow River Country Club with VIP guests boarding the ship at 6:30pm and general passengers boarding at 7pm.

Individual tickets are $75/ticket and Corporate Table VIP Tickets are $800/table.

Corporate sponsors this year include Citizens Bank and Trust Co., Melchert, Hubert, and Sjodin, New Era Financial Group, Inc., Vivid Image, Welcome Home Management, Factory Direct Furniture, Pride Solutions, Stearnswood, MITGI, American Family Insurance, and Hutchinson Manufacturing.

In the past, “celebrity artists” from the community have come to the Clay Coyote to make a piece to be auctioned off at the end of the night during the live auction. Past artists have included Jim Fahey, Dr. David Mach, Anthony Hanson, Dr. Cris Remucal, Dr. Chuck Neufield, and many others.

This year, the Clay Coyote welcomed County Commissioner Joe Nagel to the studio. Joe has been an active member in the community since he moved here almost two decades ago. His passion for community service is something very close to his heart. He was the board chair for the McLeod County Alliance for Domestic Violence, vice chair for the Hutchinson Center of Commerce and Tourism, involved in the Hutchinson Youth Basketball Association, and countless other organizations. Joe also works for the Hutchinson Police Department.

Joe spent the afternoon with Betsy learning about pottery and glazes, and how to put the two together.

A few practice trials of glazing were needed before the real deal. Nerves are high, but after some time and Betsy’s help, comfortability set in and his masterpiece was made.

No spoilers on how it turned out! You’ll have to attend the gala to see the piece for yourself!

To buy tickets please visit the Hutchinson Center for the Arts website or call them at 320-587-7278.

All aboard!
