On Thursday, Dec 21, join us at Commongrounds for a building-wide Winter Solstice celebration of art and music! From 5–6pm, we’ll host an opening reception for Katrina Bello: Tender Sun and at 6pm, Bello will join the Alluvion’s Jazz 4 All. She will offer a short artist talk, and her media-based works will serve as a backdrop for the band’s Solstice-themed set. $1-20 cover at the door.
The Tusen Takk Channel is pleased to present Tender Sun, an exhibition of works on paper by fall 2023 artist-in-residence Katrina Bello. While at Tusen Takk, Bello found inspiration in the colors and geological history of the Northern Michigan landscape, considering themes of migration, time, and place in this body of work. Created one per day while in residence, these works became like journal entries–the artist’s effort to remember, honor, and imagine the landscape.
