Inez Greenberg Gallery - Bloomington Center for the Arts (map)
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.

Tracings and Experimental Landscapes
by Paula MenchenDates: 3/7/25 - 4/27/25
Paula stencils, stamps, dyes, and uses resist techniques to create a rich palette of colors and textures. Her work blends the tactility of Japanese Washi paper with painting and printmaking, resulting in intricate, layered surfaces. Through texture and transparency, she explores the harmony of raw materials, nature, and transcendence. She documents objects by creating a material record, stamping them on paper, and incorporating them into her work through collage.

NOW:
Under The Canopy
Jan 25 - Mar 23, 2025Artistry 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.
