Artistry is excited to present its next show in the Inez Greenberg gallery, Mino-Bimaadiziwin. This beautiful collage of Native Artists (Enrolled and direct descendant Native Artists from Minnesota) includes work by Gordon Coons, Ivy Vainio, James Autio, Kent Estey, Sam Zimmerman, Steven Premo, and Tamara Aupaumut. This vibrant and provocative show displays works of oil painting, relief block prints, traditional blankets of cotton and embroidery floss, charcoal and gesso on paper bags, acrylic paint on canvas, glazed stoneware, papier-maché, and much more! Join us for this exceptional show that represents Minnesota’s deepest roots.

Artistry is proud to present Savannah Bustillo and Peter Scheidt’s Armatures in the Inez Greenberg Gallery at the Bloomington Arts Center. Peter Scheidt and Savannah Bustillo are two artists who transform everyday materials into powerful reflections on identity, history, and interaction. Scheidt reimagines discarded chairs by dismantling and rebuilding them, blurring the line between function and form while honoring the original object’s craft and character. His surreal, reconfigured furniture invites viewers to reconsider how objects shape our physical and emotional spaces. Bustillo combines making and anthropological investigation to explore spaces in the margins – where identities not easily reconciled are placed. She explores the residues of language, memory, and cultural inheritance through delicate, participatory materials like pulp, tea, and spices. Her work investigates the weight of words and the labor embedded in small, repetitive acts—shaping toothpicks, picking flowers. Together, their practices uncover hidden systems of meaning, inviting audiences to engage with the overlooked and the everyday in entirely new ways.

Artistry is excited to present Blooming: A Celebration of Bloomington Artists that will feature eight artists that currently live in Bloomington. The exhibition includes Janet Adams, Joan Porter-Einsman, Leon Erstad, Les Fordahl, dana gervais johnson, Steve Sack, Jamie (Schumacher) Kalakaru-Mava, and Rocio Zungia. Each artist will exhibit pieces of their work that reflect them as artists. From Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Steve Sack’s sculptures, Les Fordahl’s Mall of America paintings, to Leon Erstad’s stone and glass work, and to Janet Adams and Rocio Zungia abstract pieces. We are excited to show you the range of artists that live right here in Bloomington!

This March Artistry is proud to present Jessalyn Finch’s solo exhibition Reconstructing the Self. This immersive installation explores body dysmorphia, self-perception, and identity through large-scale charcoal drawings and interactive sculptures. Delving into the dissonance of internal self-image and external perception, this provocative exhibition invites viewers to explore their own interpretations of body and self. We hope our guests leave feeling inspired to see themselves with curiosity and kindness rather than judgment.

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.
