On exhibit will be pen and ink drawings, preliminary performance sketches, and large line drawings. Purchase signed artwork for next to nothing, enjoy the reception (both evenings), and get a glimpse into the inner workings of an artist’s mind. More info.
The presents of trees in all sizes and many mediums will be on display for the entire month of March! There will be prints available, at a very reasonable price, during the opening, 6p-11p. Musical guests, the North Shore Trio will entertain us with jazz fusion renditions and more.
Happy hour is from 6p-7p!
If you can’t make it to the opening, stop by during March to take a gander and pick up a business card if you’re interested in purchasing a print. If you would like to view my art please visit my website at beforethepavement.blogspot.com, but much more to see at Beaner’s!

It may not be the solution to the education budget … but it’ll keep your kids busy for at least ten minutes during Winter Break.

In the Ojibwe tradition there are hundreds of stories, some as old as the earth itself. Traditionally, these stories can only be told when there is snow on the ground. This Saturday about a dozen storytellers will be at the Sawyer Center to share some of these amazing stories. Everyone is welcome, the cost is free, but they are asking people to pre-register at the site.
Here’s a schedule

Here’s Jana Peterson’s article about this event from the Cloquet Pine Journal
“Amanda drove and let Jenny doze in the front seat while Lucy slept in back. They woke just south of Duluth. They spent the night in a little town called Superior. In the morning they stopped at the grocery store in Duluth to stock up for the week.” — (Chapter 17)
“The road they traveled from Duluth had stretched out ruler-straight for miles, cutting farm fields in half, as pastures fell away toward island lakes. Dark clouds gathered in the western sky as they entered the great expanses of forest in Wisconsin.” –(Chapter 21)
from LUCY (A Novel) by Laurence Gonzales (2010)
