Podcast appearances and mentions of joy rise

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Authoring and illustrating childhoodArt fan Deborah Bartels of St Paul took a delightful trip The Kerlan, which is one of the premier collections of children's literature, housed in the Elmer L. Anderson Library on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota. Called “Journey to Joy: Rise, Relevance, Representation in Children's Picture Books,” the exhibit is open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., with docent-led tours available by appointment each day at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Please note: the Kerlan is closed on weekends and from Dec. 21-Jan 1 for the University's holiday break. Deborah describes. the exhibit: The entrance to the exhibit welcomes viewers with life-sized, colorful cut-outs of joyful children doing cartwheels and reaching for the stars. A wall behind is covered floor-to-ceiling with enlargements of the covers of books that have won the Ezra Jack Keats Award.  Displays invite visitors to see the process behind the published award winner: the submitted manuscript, the sketches that evolve into beautiful artwork and the notes of the authors and illustrators. One of the surprising things I learned was that it is the editor who selects the illustrator for a submitted manuscript and that often the writer and artist never meet! “Journey to Joy” is displayed over four floors of the Anderson Library. A short elevator ride to the third floor brings you to the beginning of the exhibit which succinctly illuminates the history of children's picture books, a history which is not always one to celebrate. The exhibit doesn't dwell long on this exclusionary past; it reveals a lesser-known history of positive efforts to represent the diversity of people and cultures and of the awards which encourage and publish more diverse children's literature.  I have long been aware of Newbery and Caldecott Medals which are well-known prizes in children's literature. I knew little about the Ezra Jack Keats Award, which celebrates books that embrace all ethnic and social groups. The ground floor devotes an entire room to feature three indigenous Minnesota artist illustrators:  Jonathan Thunder, Annette S. Lee and Marlena Myles. — Deborah BartelsHealing artsMartin DeWitt, former director and curator of the Tweed Art Museum in Duluth, recommends making time to see the Twin Ports exhibit “Loaded” by Duluth artists Rob Quisling and Jonathan Thunder. It's showing across the High Bridge at the Kruk Gallery Holden Fine Arts Center, University of Wisconsin-Superior through Dec. 20 and by appointment until Jan. 15, 2025. Martin says: The exhibition is truly a collaboration by Quisling and Thunder, featuring a thoughtful and poignant selection by curator Annie Dugan of each artist's diverse artistry that deals directly with their struggles and recovery from alcohol addiction. The exhibition is a powerful testament, not only to the artists' long-term friendship, but also to their unique and powerful creative expression in a variety of media. A dramatic, monumental acrylic painting on canvas by Thunder, smaller oil paintings and intimate prints and drawings by both artists, and a provocative mixed-media art installation by Quisling, fill the Kruk Gallery with inspiration, forthright honesty and beauty. The notion of “Loaded” takes on new meaning, not only as a celebration of the artists' sobriety but also how passion, friendship and creative expression can offer the potential for healing and resolve in this increasingly challenging world. This is an exhibition not to be missed.— Martin DeWittA note before we go From Art Hounds producer Emily Bright: This is the last Art Hounds for 2024, rounding out our 15th anniversary year. Don't worry, we'll be back in January. But before we take a little holiday break, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate what a distinct joy this show is. This year, Art Hounds featured nearly 130 artists and events, from Worthington to Ely, from Fergus Falls to Winona, plus in venues across the Twin Cities metro area.   Artists regularly tell me that folks turned up at their show because they heard about it on Art Hounds.  And the range of shows is just as wide-reaching: visual arts exhibits and stage performances of all kinds. (And even some off-stage: we had not one but two dance performances on or near bodies of water, because that's how we roll in Minnesota.) There were jazz concerts, community quilt projects, art strolls and cabarets, plus art collections at four different colleges.  This is work that sparks conversation about the biggest topics of our day! Shows that make people feel seen. Art that spreads joy.  Thank you to everyone who's been on Art Hounds this year, for taking time to shine a light on someone else's work.  It's not too soon to let me know about the shows you're looking forward to seeing in 2025. Happy holidays, and we'll see you soon. — Emily Bright

Life Stands Before Me. That's the last line of the chorus to my new single "February (Our Last Kiss)" with Abigail, the voice of "Let the Joy Rise" and countless other anthems you love. When we wrote that line, we really liked the idea that it could mean different things to different people. If you're really sad, and have recently found yourself heartbroken, then life seems like this big mountain that you'll never be able to climb, no matter how hard you try. Or if you are finally getting over someone, the "Life Stands Before Me" line could mean that you have your whole life ahead of you, and the best moments are yet to come. I think that's why I love music so much. A hundred people can hear one song, and it can move them a hundred different ways. But we're all united by it just the same. Life can be pretty beautiful.
