rust, is accepting artists’ submissions for its upcoming spring/summer 2017 Showcase exhibition! Each selected Made Here artist will receive $500, professional installation support, networking opportunities and more! Made Here temporarily fills empty storefronts and commercial spaces that are in transition with art by local artists, turning the WeDo™ MPLS Cultural District into a walkable urban art gallery. For this round, we invite artists and artist groups to submit proposals for window Showcase displays that interpret the word "future." Your installation might be a prediction of time yet to come or a future you hope to see. Maybe your “future” is a commentary on time in general, the changes to our planet, society or community. The Public Art & Placemaking team at Hennepin Theatre Trust will host a number of information sessions about applying for Future: Made Here. The sessions include a presentation of successful submissions from past showcases, an opportunity to review application materials, as well as Q & A time with Made Here panelists who curate the project. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. All sessions are free and open to the public. Made Here is made possible by the generosity of presenting sponsor Andersen Windows. Additional sponsorship support is provided by Le Meridien Chambers Minneapolis. For more information and to apply, please visit MadeHereMN.org.
