Quietly in December

The Eagan Art House sits along Lexington Avenue surrounded by nature. Art classes are offered to the community and art sales happen there several times during the year.

Mike the artist

An art fair was held on Saturday at the Eagan Community Center with pottery, jewelry, paintings and more. This artist makes works with wooden pieces.

Greeeeeen

 

At first, I thought it was a bike rack. Although no artist's plaque labels the work, this colorful sculpture is interesting to see at the Eagan City Hall!

30th Anniversary

 

On Sunday, Cheryl Caponi, owner and director of the Caponi Art Park, invited the community to celebrate their 30 years of art in their park. Her late husband, Tony Caponi, was an art professor, artist, sculptor and co-creator of the Caponi Art Park.

Art and crafts

Karen Gauthier from the Middle Sister Shop was one of the local artists displaying and selling her items at the Eagan Community Center on Saturday at the art and crafts sale.  

Wall of macrame

 

Art of the 1970s seems to be making a big comeback. This macrame display is at Artworks. 

Another annual Artworks artfair

 

 

Artists were ready for art fans on Saturday morning at Artworks on Pilot Knob Road. Luckily, I bet the crowd and found some nice art pieces. 

With artsy friends

 

Rotarian friends from the Eagan Kickstart Rotary and others joined me in my office for my art "Vernissage" on yesterday's beautiful autumn afternoon. We shared wine, appetizers and a love of  original art.

Horsing around

 

This modern sculpture stands outside the Cole's Salon off Yankee Doodle Road. Sorry, I don't know the title or artist.... 

Art fair season!

Throngs of people gathered at Central Park over the weekend to enjoy the 27th annual Eagan Art Fair. Potters, photographers, glass designers, woodworkers and more artists displayed and sold their creations. About 83 artists made it a great weekend event! 

Wall artsy

 

Lots of local art hangs on the walls at the Eagan Community Center. Take a swing by there for a look. Remember your mask. 

Artistic autumn

 

Laurie Halvorson and her brother strolled by this sculpture at Caponi Art Park. Enjoy!

Art at Artworks

 

About 20 artist booths offered eager art fans and handicraft shoppers an array of beautiful choices from 9 am to 4 pm on Sunday afternoon in the Artworks building parking lot. 

For me to attend two different art fairs in one weekend was incredible since all the other art fairs this summer were canceled due to Covid-19.

A walk around the Caponi Art Park will bring you sights for your eyes and peace for your senses. Enjoy!

Art at Artworks

I stopped by ArtWorks in Eagan to pick up my art sale items and view their current art exhibit. Here are just two of the displayed art pieces. Stop by there on Tuesdays for your own viewing. 

Mall art

This art and / or advertising at the Eagan Outlet Mall caught my attention. What do you think? 

Truck art

This truck probably belongs to an avid hunter. What do you think of the painted art?
