  • Sweet Charity
    Jan 23 - Feb 16, 2025

    SWEET CHARITY explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in New York City. With a tuneful, groovy, mid-1960s score featuring “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” and “I’m a Brass Band,” Sweet Charity captures all the energy, humor, and heartbreak of Life in the Big City for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist.

  • Public Offerings

    Artistry is thrilled to have Jon Kamrath, MaryBeth Magyar, and Paul Stapp in the Inez Greenberg Gallery with their exhibitions Public Offerings. They explore the question of what makes something public. What one person sees as a mundane storefront can be a beautiful reminder of the past. Everything we see is full of stories that aren't visible to the naked eye. How does the meaning of something change when only part of it is public? In nature, is anything private? By bringing together these artists, Artistry hopes our audience can find art not only in Inez Greenberg Gallery, but in the world around them.

  • Small Sentiments

    Artistry is thrilled to present Sweet Sentiments by Tara Robinson in our Atrium Gallery this winter. She creates works that explore the interplay of memory and identity. Her paintings feature realistic forms paired with emotionally resonant colors. These palettes invite reflection on the bittersweet nature of nostalgia-giving form to the emotions that define our experiences and the objects we encounter, and giving permission to the viewer to find solace in small and past things.

    • Confluence Gallery - Minnesota National Wildlife Refuge (map)

    Artistry and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge are excited to announce Under the Canopy by Emily Gray Koehler. Under the Canopy is a collection of traditional woodcuts by printmaker Emily Gray Koehler investigating the flora, fauna, and fungi found in our Midwest forests. Join the artist as she looks up through pines at the Milky Way on a crisp winter night, steps softly into a golden wood enveloped in the scent of fallen leaves, dips her toes in a wooded river at dawn, and studies the delicate ephemeral beauty of a forest floor blanketed in spring flowers. Revel in the artist’s eye as she seeks to remind us of what we have yet could so easily lose.
