Mobs of artists and
"culture vultures" celebrated Thursday's opening night of
"Foot in the Door 4," a wildly popular exhibition held every 10 years at the
Minneapolis Institute of arts. We bumped into purple ribbon pinned artists and viewed thousands of art submissions: floor to ceiling overloaded walls of paintings & photographs and tables loaded to overflowing with ceramics, textiles, sculpture & more in 3 galleries! After the stupendous
art stampede, many of the artsy, glamourous museum crawlers enjoyed
fu-fu libations in the
blue glowing lobby. Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles provided
live music and DJ Jake Rudh of Transmission mixed it up with music to top off the evening.

Ha en fin helg!!
I think I would have hit overload the moment I walked in the door.
ReplyDeletehee hee - "fu fu libations" - complete with mini umbrellas in frozen Mineesota?
ReplyDelete;-)
It may be overload, but it certainly is fun. I've had friends who have displayed during this event, and it's fun to see how many unheralded but talented artists there are in the Twin Cities.
ReplyDeleteCool! Do people win prizes? From the looks of it, you must have a lot of creative people in Minnesota. Guess you have to find some way to pass the winters! :)
ReplyDeleteoverloaded indeed! looks like the people enjoyed it. Cool!
ReplyDeleteWe would have enjoyed this very much; and we still need a few items for the new villa. Why didn't you tell us this was happened? We could have dogsledded up there!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't mention the items you purchased...
I think this would be so much fun. We have ours outdoors in the warm months. It's so much more interesting when you can meet the artists.
ReplyDeleteDizzy from all the beautiful artsy stuff! I love the walls with all the pictures! I'm going to have to try that sometime :)
ReplyDeleteI love fu-fu libations.
