First Friday Exhibition - Seasonal Transitions
First Friday Exhibition - Seasonal Transitions Presented by SEASONS on St. Croix Gallery at Seasons on St. Croix Gallery Sep 04 - Sep 27, 2020 The warm tones of fall are richly embedded in the works of both Casey Beck and Mary Opatz Herges. The work takes us from one season to another as nature changes colors and wraps us into the next season. Mary is a landscape artist that captures light, color, and mood. She feels that landscapes are a perfect vehicle for expressing human emotion. She uses an abstract brush to create landscapes that are inexplicable, withdrawn, and unknowable. She feels that “when things cannot clearly be seen they can often best be felt.” Casey creates utilitarian vessels that he hopes will also create a dialogue between user, process, material and self through a series of recollections. Again we are dealing with art and emotion. Casey suggests that “with the everyday use of a vessel, past memories are recognized, all while the user forms their own memories with the vessel. These memories accumulate… |

Live Irish Music: Lojo Russo
Live Irish Music: Lojo Russo Presented by Water Street Inn, Charlie's Irish Pub at Water Street Inn Oct 02 - Oct 03, 2020 Whether playing festivals or front steps, coffee houses or concert halls Lojo Russo connects with her audience in a way few performers can. Her enormous stage energy, powerful voice and percussive playing style belie her small frame. This little woman puts on one heckuva big show. Making music along the muddy waters from Minneapolis to Davenport for over 15 years Russo’s played in jam bands, Celtic groups, freestyle funk folk and currently as a solo touring artist. And like the river she moves the music from one genre to the next – powerfully … effortlessly. Russo’s style of music has always been a little bit of everything because she’s always played a little bit of everything – bass in a psychedelic rock band, mandolin in a Celtic group, and guitar in every kind of funk, folk, jazz and jam combination you can imagine – usually taking the lead. This variety… |
