Building on a commission for the Walker’s 25th-anniversary celebration of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden in 2013, he collaborates with rock/pop guitarist Jeremy Ylvisaker (Andrew Bird) and his band Alpha Consumer, which includes Mike Lewis and JT Bates, whose repetition of musical phrasing is a perfect foil for Schlichting’s movement art. The collaboration also features Minnesota-based visual artist Jennifer Davis, whose collages and paintings strike a magical balance between childlike playfulness and dark yearnings."

CSA: Community Supported Arts
It's just like a regular CSA but instead of fresh food crops you get shares of fresh/surprise ART throughout the season!
I'm excited to announce that I am once again participating in the CSA: Community Supported Arts program by Springboard for the Arts.
Check out a PBS NewsHour segment about the project (and spy my Fox print from the inaugural season in 2010) here.
Join the fun and order your share for yourself- or as a gift that keeps on giving throughout the season- here.
* UPDATE- see my blog post about the hand-pulled octopus prints I made for this project here.
Creative Block * Advice and Projects from 50 Successful Artists
By Danielle Krysa (AKAThe Jealous Curator) is now on bookstore shelves!

I want to try all of the projects! Take a peek inside the book via Amazon.com and preview my "project" for the book via my blog.
