Springboard for the Arts is seeking artists in Saint Paul to propose modest projects that celebrate the magic of winter in Minnesota. Projects are encouraged to either enhance or reinvigorate existing community winter traditions, or try out entirely new ones – all with the goal to draw people outdoors, bring people together across generations, lift spirits, and highlight the unique beauty of winter. Potential projects might include performances on ice, installations that encourage people to explore nature, experiences that bring brightness to dark nights, creative games or competitions …or anything else that brings warmth, joy, and connection to the coldest season.

The 11th Annual MFA Online Exhibition titled ‘Residue’ is now open for submissions! This international exhibition is organized and juried by graduate students from the University of Montana and Montana State University.

This exhibition provides graduate students the chance to see what their peers are creating, to connect with one another, build their resume and network. Last year, students from more than half of the MFA programs in North America, as well as from eight countries, participated. All visual art mediums are welcome.

Residue
The aftermath of events—whether within the environment, artist studio practice, or one's self—often lingers far longer than the events themselves. Residue is an online exhibition highlighting graduate students from all visual art disciplines, showcasing the ways these experiences shape people and continue to influence the present. This year’s theme encourages exploration of what remains: joy, nostalgia, anxiety, grief, anger, or otherwise—the lasting impressions embedded in people's lives.
