Over 24 teen artists will be showcasing their work at The
Canvas this year. “We are a teen art program and think it's important youth
have the opportunity to publicly display their creative accomplishments,” said
Program Coordinator Megan Mueller. “Participating in the Art
Crawl the last four years and curating a Teen Art Show has been a great way to
give youth a space to do just that.”

Get out after a long winter and meet local artists during
the St. Paul Art Crawl April 25, 26 and 27, 2014.
Five buildings in the Midtown area will be part of a
city-wide event that features hundreds of artists and thousands of visitors: Carleton
Place Lofts (2285 University Ave. W.), Bindery Building (708 Vandalia), Hancock
Recreation Center/Canvas Teen Art Program (1610 Hubbard Ave.), Front Avenue
Pottery (895 Front Ave.) and Midway Pottery and Studios (1708 University Ave.).
“We've chosen to be part of the Art Crawl because we value
our work and we value our community,” stated Jeff Dahlin, owner of E & L
Bindery, who will be one of at least four artists showcasing their work. “Participation
in this event promotes our artists' talents
while spotlighting the varied culture of our area. It's a
good opportunity to share our creativity and a drink with
friends— old and new!”
At nearby Front Avenue Pottery, try your
hands at the potter's wheel any time during the crawl. Make
a clay birdhouse or set of appetizer plates on Saturday from 12-8 p.m. Work
with well-known, regionally exhibiting milliner Patti Berg and manipulate fabric
into simple shapes such as velvet flowers on Sunday at noon. Meet the nine
participating artists during a reception on Friday from 6-10 p.m., including
locals Mary Jo Schmith, Jason Trebs and Jim Gindorff.
“The St. Paul Art Coalition creates a fabulous opportunity
for us all to share expenses, such as marketing and media, and to also share
the excitement of an entire city on exhibit!” observed Schmith, owner of Front
Avenue Pottery & Tile Co.
She enjoys finding out that there are so many interesting,
thoughtful, and talented working artists in St. Paul. “Every year there's new
work,” Schmith pointed out. On top of that, it is fun meeting new patrons,
revealing in the support of friends and neighbors, and finding out St. Paul is
genuinely interested in its artists.
Twenty-four artists will be displaying work during The
Canvas Teen Art Show at the Hancock Recreation Center. Their mediums include: photography,
painting, sculpture, poetry, pastels, pen and ink, and singing. “We are a teen
art program and think it's important youth have the opportunity to publicly
display their creative accomplishments,” explained The Canvas Program
Coordinator Megan Mueller.
The Canvas teen art program uses the arts to develop talent,
build community, and improve the lives of youth. The Canvas serves youth grades
7-12, providing events, workshops, and studio space.
“I hear from artists it's exciting to have their work on
display and they always enjoy the artist lanyards they receive at the show,”
said Mueller. Don’t miss the artist reception at 4 p.m. on Saturday that
includes prose and live acts.
Art Crawl show hours are Friday 6–10 p.m., Saturday 12–8 p.m.,
and Sunday 12–5 p.m. Find out more at www.stpaulartcrawl.org.
