We had a date night last night. We went to the opening reception for Extremely Minnesota, the Robbin Gallery’s annual juried exhibition open to all Minnesota residents. Then we headed over to downtown Robbinsdale and had dinner at Marna’s, a Costa Rican restaurant right on West Broadway. Great art, great food. It was a pleasant evening.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this here before, it came about during a long fallow period for posting, but I’m the president of the gallery board of directors. Lucky me. We had a record number of entries, around 150. Neither of the pieces I submitted were accepted. That’s not a big deal, that’s the nature of open, juried exhibitions. The pieces I submitted weren’t my strongest, most of my recent work has already been shown there and that disqualifies them. Many of my friends had work accepted though and that’s great.
The work is very high quality, maybe the best we’ve had. It’s worth a trip to Robbinsdale to check it out.
It’s a windy cloudy day. I’m staffing the gallery from 1-4 pm, which will give me some time to look more closely at the work.
