SUMMARY:artsXchange with Jim Armstrong – Try Everything: A Multi-Media Approach to Creative Writing
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Marine Art Museum | 800 Riverview Dr.\nRegister Here \nThe next artsXchange event presented by River Arts Alliance (RAA) at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) will be led by RAA member Jim Armstrong and entitled Try Everything: A Multi-Media Approach to Creative Writing. Armstrong says\, “A writer is not just someone who sits at a keyboard: the full use of the imagination requires multiple aesthetic adventures. Poetry especially exists at the intersection of the visual\, the musical and the linguistic; it benefits from the immediate tactile experience provided by the fine arts and also the practical arts. As a poet I have learned traditional penmanship\, pursued drawing in various media\, engaged in a daily photographic practice\, experimented with putting poems to music\, and learned to design and hand-sew chapbooks. All these pursuits have helped enliven my arts practice and kept me from being ‘stuck.’ This program will follow several projects as they move from daily writing through to finished work and will show how journaling\, sketching\, photography\, musical composition\, and book making contributed to the final product. The working assumption is that a writer should not be afraid to try new media and that the adventure of acquiring a new artistic skill can keep one nimble and generative.” \nThis event is free to attend for members of RAA or MMAM\, and included with museum admission for others. (Museum admission is free for students on Thursdays.) Registration is required\, and space is limited to 25 attendees per program. Learn more.

SUMMARY:artsXchange with Emilio & Monica DeGrazia: Authenticity in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Marine Art Museum | 800 Riverview Dr.\nRegister Here \nThe dawn of Artificial Intelligence poses a historically profound\, alarming\, and unprecedented problem for writers\, musicians\, and artists. AI’s generative powers\, often controlled anonymously\, are matching human creative ventures and promise to surpass them. What then is “authenticity” as an outcome of human creative processes? How can we establish criteria that will help us decide whether the art forms we are exposed to are “authentic” and worthy of our respect? The main focus of this presentation will be on literary works\, with a few visual artworks on display at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum providing opportunities to consider analogies between literary and visual arts. In preparing a definitive book about many different versions of the “Princess Winona” legends\, Monica DeGrazia has confronted questions about the legend’s credibility in direct and varying ways. The city of Winona’s identity and heritage are based in large part on suppositions that have no basis in authentic history. Emilio DeGrazia has a long history as author of fiction\, poetry and creative non-fiction\, and he also has worked as a literary editor and judge for several literary contests. He will discuss how he\, as writer\, has struggled to generate literary work worth calling “authentic\,” and what standards he\, as editor and literary judge\, believes it is important to maintain. \nThis event is free to attend for members of RAA or MMAM\, and included with museum admission for others. Registration is required\, and space is limited to 25 attendees per program. Learn more.

SUMMARY:artsXchange with Pete Mutschler: Understanding and Using Technology in Creating Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Marine Art Museum | 800 Riverview Dr.\nRegister Here \nThe artsXchange program\, a collaboration between River Arts Alliance (RAA) and the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM)\, continues on Thursday evening\, October 19\, with this event led by photographer and RAA member Pete Mutschler. \nTaking good pictures is easy these days.

Included in the program will be a discussion on how some of the great photographers in the past may have used technology and where tools\, such as those driven by artificial intelligence\, may lead us. Learn more. \nThis event is free to attend for members of RAA or MMAM\, and included with museum admission for others. Registration is required\, and space is limited to 25 attendees per program. If you are a River Arts Alliance member interested in hosting a future artsXchange\, please contact Arts Administrator Johanna Rupprecht at admin@riverartsalliance.org.

DESCRIPTION:Host Studio: Minnesota Marine Art Museum\, Oberton Education Room \nTuition: $500.00 [maximum 16 participants] \n**As of July 21\, this workshop has only one remaining space available. When full\, a waitlist will be offered. \nThis workshop is offered as part of Flora & Fauna – The Plein Air Experience\, 2023. \nIn this deeply exploratory\, yet hands-on plein air workshop\, you’ll be mentored by two of Minnesota’s master painters\, Fred Somers and Kami Mendlik\, as they impart and share their philosophies and approach to studying directly from nature. Using the Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s dramatic outdoor landscape directly on the Upper Mississippi River\, day one will be a deep dive into studying color out of doors as Kami shares her approach using oil paints (applicable to all mediums).  Kami will lead you through a series of exercises to emphasize the importance of gathering the vital relationships of color in the landscape to capture the illusion of light and atmosphere in a painting. Fred will lead day two\, taking the inspiration from out of doors\, into the studio\, translating the abstract and mysterious onto canvas\, and share his unique approach using pastels (applicable to all mediums) to push the edge of creativity to express the mystery of nature. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:artsXchange with Amanda Blue
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Marine Art Museum | 800 Riverview Dr.\nRegister Here \nThe artsXchange program\, a collaboration between River Arts Alliance (RAA) and the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM)\, continues with this event led by soprano and RAA member Amanda Blue. \nWhat if every rule\, lesson\, practice about music flipped upside down… How would that shape the way that you think about music and the practice of music? Well\, American composer John Cage did just that and more. “A pioneer of indeterminacy in music\, electroacoustic music\, and non-standard use of musical instruments\, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde.” For this lecture\, Amanda Blue will be performing one of his famous vocal pieces named “Aria.” Through the performance and analysis of this piece\, along with a few others\, we will unpack the unique characteristics that make Cage’s works paint a picture of American contemporary music. \nHost Amanda Blue is a professional Opera singer currently based in the Midwest. This event is free to attend for members of RAA or MMAM\, and included with museum admission for others. Registration is required\, and space is limited to 25 attendees. Learn more.
