“Color is my strength and passion and it shows in all my paintings,” said Emily. “Art is an involuntary movement for me – like breathing.”
Her colors can be found in her exhibitions, commercials, and residential installations throughout the country and across the oceans, such as Santa’s Whimsical Wonderland at West Acres. You would have noticed the powerful colors and playfulness in the installation as you passed by shopping.
Emily Williams-Wheeler is a professional fine…

Before Dak the Bison was adorning the walls of local shops, he was a rough sketch on a pad of paper. Kayla Cote van Rensburg, a designer who started Cote Creative LLC, was brainstorming her next piece. As a Minot native who moved to Fargo and fell in love, she wanted it to be an elegant homage to her new home.
So, she took the most Fargo thing she could think of -- a picture of a Bison -- and designed the word “Fargo” to fill the shape. It worked.
“I just had that good gut feeling…

Many of our actions are driven by a basic need for love, sex, and intimacy. Some people will try to bury these drives, or treat them as something to be ashamed of, but what’s the use in denying something that’s so innately human? Rather than concealing it, the erotic is something that should be celebrated.
Celebrating the erotic is a principle that the folks at the Red Raven Espresso Bar definitely understand, as seen with the return of their annual Erotic Art Show this Friday. Area…

He continued, ”We also wanted to have it relate to skateboarding and (in) someway incorporate other things that…

On January 4th, Ashley Hanson took a little school bus across the country to document rural arts with her Golden Retriever Bodie. She began this five-week road trip to highlight artists working in rural communities from West to East and North to South.

Laura Forgie, visual artist, has always interested in art and being a creator was something that she has had a knack for. Art was not only her interest but a useful way to express herself. She is inspired by what she sees around, especially while walking in new cities or places that she has never been before. She did not see the view in a certain way but profoundly recognizable.
“As I walk around, it is not hard to notice the ways in which we are impacting everything that was here…

Most of Fargo-Moorhead families would stay at home during winter, which is getting colder.

If anyone wanted to resolve this problem, consider visiting Folkways’ Sudden Ice Sculpture Park. Folkways provides an opportunity to get involved in creating artwork as a community member and enjoy this chilly winter.
The Sudden Ice Sculpture Park is…
