Our work with the photo department at the University of Minnesota Duluth has had great advantages for both institutions. As an outgrowth of last year’s exhibition process we have established an annual event where the DAI is able to have a hand in the formation of the next generation of emerging artists to work in our community.
The work of these student photographers transcends the usual perception of “student work" and their ability to participate competently in this type of exhibition reflects highly on the strength of the photography program in the Department of Art and Design at UMD.

Damnable April Blizzards! Due to the campus closing, the Art Guild Silent Auction has been rescheduled to next Friday, April 18th from 6–8pm.
Please note, bidding ends at 8pm but purchases of works will occur at that time.
For photographs and more information contact the Art Guild at umd.artguild@gmail.com
The Art Guild Silent Auction, an annual student tradition, not only showcases new and personal artwork by UMD student artists but is also a unique opportunity for the public to collect original (and affordable) work from young and emerging artists. All minimum bids will be between $5 and $100. Refreshments will be served during the course of the auction.
The UMD Art Guild is the only cross-collegiate and cross-disciplinary arts organization on campus. Art Guild provides an outlet for students to go to galleries, create art, show art, critique the work of peers, and educate themselves about the contemporary art world and what students are doing today. Art Guild makes annual trips to Minneapolis and Chicago for gallery hops and educational and cultural enrichment. Art Guild meets every Tuesday from 4–6pm in the Tweed Museum coffee bar.
The Tweed Museum of Art is one of six units in the School of Fine Arts, UMD. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
Free and open to the public, the Tweed Museum of Art is located in Ordean Court on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth. Museum hours are: Tuesday 9a.m.–8 p.m., Wednesday–Friday 9 a.m. –4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 1–5 p.m.
I'm contacting your department in regards to the third annual Respect
Your Mother Earth Day Festival hosted by UMD's Earth Club. We're
looking for artists to display and sell their work. Please pass this
along to the art guild and anyone who may be interested. Here is our
website with more info. http://www.d.umn.edu/~earthday/index.html
Thanks for your time,

]]>"Duluth artist Carla Stetson will be installing her piece, The Red Line, in the Great Hall of the Depot along with other mixed media work in the Steffl Gallery. The Red Line is composed of over 200 red dresses arranged around a central quilt and assembled in relation to the architectural space. Viewers will be able to see the installation from below — gazing up as they enter the Hall — and from above, as they look out from the balcony of the Steffl Gallery. From all perspectives, this mass of lively red color suspended high in the air will allow viewers to experience the physicality of the large space in a completely new way. The space is experienced in relation to the scale of a human body as represented by the individual dresses. The mass of fabric hangings will also affect the acoustics of the Great Hall creating a sound component of the exhibition for those visitors familiar with the building.
In addition, Stetson will show related smaller mixed media works in the Steffl Gallery, including a 25’ wide by 8’ tall hanging made of black and white fabric that references sewing as constructive activity, a task Stetson learned from her mother and grandmother."
