Edward, Elegant Blue Cat, from the Third Clowder of Cats
Mr. Piano Owl from the Parliament of Owls, Welcomes you to the Hallberg Center for the Arts.
Seeking Whimsy in the World opening reception tomorrow (April 18) in the Hallberg Center in Wyoming, MN will go on without me. The Good News is that I have neither strep nor Covid. The Bad News is that I have something that's taken my voice, inflicted a wicked sore throat, made my nose run to Iowa, and generally make me feel yucky.
Update: Optimistically, I've planned to be at Hallberg on April 27 at from 1 to 4 in conjunction with Kids Can Be Artists, Too!, a free art experience the last Saturday of every month in 2024!
This art class is for all ages and abilities. Class begins with a brief, inspiring picture story read by local storyteller and tutor, Ashley, and then is followed by an art project led by local artist Surelle. (Parents need to stay with younger children, please!)
April showers bring May flowers, and this month we'll be making raindrop suncatchers that sparkle like jewels!
This class is FREE and there are NO SUPPLY FEES, so don't worry about that note below that says you agree to paying supply fees - there are none!

Edward, Elegant Blue Cat, from the Third Clowder of Cats
Whimsy is alive and well in the Underground Gallery of the Hallberg Center in Wyoming, MN, which is just 34 minutes north of Saint Paul. My show, Seeking Whimsy in the World, opens April 18, with a reception from 4-8. There will NOT be an Artist Talk on April 20. I have neither Covid nor Strep, but a viral thing that's taken my voice. I WILL be at Hallberg on April 27 from 1-4.
In addition to the gracious Hallberg Center staff and volunteers, two of your hosts will be familiar if you've followed my work.

I hope that this show sparks your imagination or at least helps you believe that there is something outside the corner of your eye that needs exploration. Your Whimsical Hosts are SpokesOwl, Mr. Piano Owl (from the book The Parliament of Owls,) Edward Elegant Blue Cat (from the third Clowder of Cats), The Grand Cave Elephant, and the Small Friends’ Research Institute, a wholly imagined international non-profit that supports artists seeking to find and document whimsical creatures.
