Opening Reception: Susan Horn
From Lowry Hill Gallery:
Lowry Hill Gallery is pleased to present Close to Color, an exhibition of paintings by Minnesota artist, Susan Horn.
A former plein air painter, Horn’s landscapes fall into the canon of Abstract Expressionism, showcasing close attention to color, tonal relationships, and compositional structure. Seeking to express the emotional truth of the natural world, she regards the landscape as both subject and collaborator. Horn received her BFA in Studio Art from the University of Minnesota, where she participated in the Figure Drawing Cooperative and was a member of the Northern Warehouse Sculpture Cooperative. She studied painting with abstract expressionists Ralph Brown and Mary Abbott, informing her work greatly. Horn’s work is included in numerous private and public collections nationally and around the world.

Jeff Veigel, our beloved co-owner of Isles Bun & Coffee, passed away on April 20th 2025. April 20th of this year marks a year since his passing. A huge void was left with his passing and we have tried our best to continue on. Known for his warmth, dedication, and iconic Puppy Dog Tails, Jeff helped create a community hub where customers became friends. A passionate entrepreneur, he took pride in crafting delicious pastries and fostering a welcoming space.
He was best recognized for his Panama hat and boat shoes. So on April 20th we will be celebrating his life and legacy with “Man With The Hat Day”. We’ll be playing reggae music (his favorite) all day and doing what we do best by bringing buns, puppytails and joy to this special day.
Wear your best hat on 4/20 to celebrate Jeff!! 🖤💛

The Reasonable Doubts
From The Reasonable Doubts:
A benefit concert for Legal Aid. The Reasonable Doubts began as a way to bring people together and relieve stress, “because music and art are so good for people.” The name is a nod to the legal standard of proof in criminal cases because most shows are to entertain people in the legal profession and support free legal services for those who cannot afford an attorney. The band plays covers ranging from AC/DC to Elvis to Beyoncé. The only rule at a Reasonable Doubts show is that you get up and dance.

Rebel Loon of MN Keep on Shining
From Celtic Junction Arts Center:
This mutual aid concert is your chance to come together with some of the Twin Cities’ best bluegrass and country musicians—and help raise money for immigrant neighbors still struggling in the aftermath of recent events:
The heartbreak we feel during this time in our state’s history is immense and will be lasting. And, as lovers of bluegrass and country music, we don’t shy away from heartbreak. We’re inspired by ordinary Minnesotans coming together in a million creative ways to speak up for peace, justice, and the rule of law. To sing, laugh, cry, show we care, and offer tangible support to those in need.
Many of our immigrant neighbors are facing eviction, and we want to make sure they’re housed and cared for until they can get back on their feet. All proceeds from this event will go to the Indigenous Roots’ MniSota Community Action Network and Zion Community Commons/Open Market MN.
You’ll want to bring cash to spend in the lobby at our community-led resistance art marketplace where you’ll find upcycled screen printed clothes, posters, stickers, buttons, and more! There will be a food truck, as well as beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages available.
Youth 18 years and under receive free admission at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you can’t afford a ticket, reach out to Ivy at ivyandbean@proton.me and we’ll make sure you can join us.

Sound Bath Workshops
From Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO):
Join us for a guided sound bath experience that invites you to connect with the mind and the river, beginning with a pause that invites stillness and listening. The human body is made of nearly 60% water, mirroring the river’s own flowing nature. In this session, you’ll be guided into stillness, turning your attention inward to notice subtle movement, breath, and rhythm.
The river’s flow creates sound as water meets rock. The crystal singing bowls, formed from earth, stone, and crystal, carry these same elemental origins. As their tones fill the space, gentle vibrations move through the body, bringing inner and outer waters into into confluence, resonating through the body. In this shared sound and stillness, we return to a natural rhythm, remembering a sense of presence that has always been there.
This immersive workshop offers a moment of rest, reflection, and sensory connection that encourages you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with both yourself and the river.
Sound Bath Workshops

Civic Buzz: Training for Ethical Police Practices
From League of Women Voters Minneapolis (LWVMpls):
Public concern about law enforcement training and practices has grown, especially after witnessing federal agents use excessive force, conduct dangerous vehicle pursuits, make aggressive stops and arrests, and engage in crowd control tactics that felt both alarming and unlawful. These moments have prompted an important question: What does ethical law enforcement look like, and how is the Minneapolis Police Department preparing both new and veteran officers to meet the standards of non‑discriminatory policing outlined in the Settlement Agreement?
Guest Speaker: Commander Kris Brown, Training Division, Minneapolis Police Department

Artist Talk: Kirsten Tradowsky
From Lowry Hill Gallery:
Lowry Hill Gallery is pleased to present Annemarie’s Vision, an exhibition of oil paintings by St. Paul artist, Kirsten Tradowsky.
Earning her BFA from Cleveland Institute of Art and MFA from California College of the Arts, Tradowsky has a long exhibition history in California and now resides in the Twin Cities with her family. Using media references from her family archive, this series of work presents a contemporary understanding of a far-off past. Through painted interpretations of photographs taken by her immigrant grandmother, Annemarie, Tradowsky arrives at a deeper understanding of her life, despite never having met her. Tradowsky’s paintings are known for their color and sweeping, expressive brush strokes. Of this exhibition, she writes:
“My Grandmother, Annemarie Wentscher Tradowsky, lived in Berlin, Germany, with my Grandfather, Walter Tradowsky, a theater director. They had a son, my father Michael Tradowsky, in 1935, and a daughter, my Tante Monika, six years later. My Grandmother raised her children during the turbulent and devastating time of Nazi Germany and World War II.
My grandmother was a professional kids photographer at a studio in Berlin before she got married. After, she carried her camera with her everywhere she went to capture photos of my grandfather, father, and aunt. She also took many photos of family friends and cousins when traveling around Germany.
Despite being fearful of the Nazis and later the war, she tried to create a place where her children could still be creative and feel safe. Sometimes, my grandfather caught these moments with her in it. These photos and my paintings depict these moments.
In the 1950s, my family immigrated to the United States and settled in California. My grandmother continued to photograph the family up until her death from cancer in the mid 1960s. I keep learning more and more about her from my father’s autobiography, “War Children,” and the conversations I have with my Tante Monika.
After my father’s passing in January 2025, I’ve been gifted many of her photo albums. A collection of our family moments. I see her being a strong and inventive mother in these shots. I, too, am now a mother of a six-year-old and in these, our own turbulent times, I’m trying to be as uplifting and creative as she was. Even though I never met my grandmother, I’m feeling more connected to her, and my late dad, through these photos that depict a family life I was never a part of yet echoes through me."

We Demand Accountability!
From Twin Cities Coalition for Justice:
We Demand Accountability! From ICE to MPD, community control can help us hold state agents accountable for harming our communities. It is more clear than ever that the system is set up to benefit ICE/MPD at the expense of the people. Come for a discussion about the need for police accountability, the inadequacies of our current system and the promise of community control to bring about real change.

International Women’s Day
From the Twin Cities DSA:
Join us for a Celebration of Women in Resistance! We will illustrate the importance of international women’s history and how women have always understood internationalism, socialism, and anti-imperialist resistance as intertwined. There will be a few guest speakers who are based in action. They will highlight the exceptional work of contemporary feminist grassroots organizers, demonstrating the enduring relationship between feminism, and the international class struggle. In our current context here in Minnesota, women and femmes are on the frontlines of the resistance against ICE and protecting our immigrant communities. The intent of this event is to respond to the liberal discourses that make feminism just about identity recognition, and women participating in capitalism. We hope as socialists we can remind people that the day was led by those in struggle that led to the 1917 Revolution. More importantly— highlighting how women have always played a central role in fighting against fascism, imperialism and colonization.

Tending Together
From the Grief Room:
“Let your heart break so your spirit doesn’t.”
–Andrea Gibson✨
“Without community, there is no liberation.”
–Audre Lorde ✨
Next month, I am delighted to facilitate a drop-in community art ritual in the new Grief Room studio space exploring ways we can honor what is breaking/has broken/needs to break in this collective moment, right alongside what is bringing us together.
I love art and the way it invites us out of our heads and into our bodies and sensations with tangible form. I love ritual, and Katherine May’s definition of reclaiming ritual in our everyday as a ‘conscious, intentional, and repetitive action that embeds meaning into daily life, allowing us to connect with our surroundings and process emotions.’ Together, we’ll explore both.
Looking forward to tending with you,
–Kenlee, The Grief Room
