NEWS BRIEFS Headwaters to offer finger-pick guitar class

BEMIDJI — Headwaters Music and Arts will host a finger-pick guitar class from 5 to 5:45 p.m. or 6 to 6:45 p.m. on Wednesdays through Feb. 14, at Headwaters, 519 Minnesota Ave. NW. The five-week course will be led by singer, guitarist and educator Antonio Arce and will explore finger-picking techniques and the history of different songs and their authors, a release said.

Song choices will include “Falling in Love With You,” “Play Me,” “Time In a Bottle” and more.

The course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists ages 15 and older.

Reading music is not a requirement for the class.

Arce was born in Salta, Argentina as the eldest son of a professional musician.

“Although Arce picked up the guitar very quickly he did not learn the names of the chords or the notes in either Spanish or English,” the release said. “Instead, Antonio learned to play by ear.”

His repertoire includes “Música Latino Americana,” romantic music in the genres of Boleros, Trova and other styles, the release said.

Space is limited to four participants per session.

The cost to participate is $100 per person for all five classes.

BEMIDJI — Watermark Art Center’s 2023 Spoken Word Series continues with Poetry SLAM at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, at Fozzie’s Smokin Bar-BQ, 114 Third St. NW. “A poetry slam is a competitive art event in which poets perform spoken word poetry before a live audience and a panel of judges,” a release said.

Poets should prepare three original SLAM poems, one for each of the three rounds. Poems must be under three minutes of reading time; notes are allowed.

Judges, selected from the audience, give each reading a score on a scale of 1 to 10. The poets with the highest scores move forward to a second, then third round. The top three in the final round win cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25.

Additionally, the Minneapolis metro-based League of MN Poets is again offering free 20232024 memberships to the winners of each Watermark Poetry SLAM this season.

BSU’s Talley Gallery to display artwork from McKnight Foundation winners

BEMIDJI — Artwork from ceramic artists who

have won McKnight Foundation awards from the Minneapolis-based Northern Clay Center will be on display starting Feb. 15 at Bemidji State University’s Talley Gallery.

The exhibition, titled “Seven McKnight Artists,” includes work by one artist who earned the 2020 McKnight Residency Award, four artists who earned the 2021 McKnight Residency Awards and two 2022 McKnight Fellows.

A public reception for the exhibition will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, at the gallery, Bridgeman Hall room 140 at BSU. The fellowship winners are Tony Kukich of St. Paul and Ginny Sims of Minneapolis. The residency recipients are Claudia Alvarez of New York, N.Y., Eliza Au of Lake Dallas, Texas, Edith Garcia of New Moon,

Calif., Lynne Hobaica of Bakersville, N.C. and Janina Myronova of Wrocław, Poland.

The McKnight Artist Fellowships and Residencies for Ceramic Artists programs are designed to strengthen and enhance Minnesota’s artistic community, a release said.

Fellowships help offset studio and living expenses and allow artists to experiment with new materials and techniques and build upon ideas within their work.

Residencies are granted to artists outside Minnesota for a three-month stay at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis.

Each year, the center develops an exhibit of fellowship and residency recipients which is then toured around Minnesota.

The public is invited to view the works of talented mid-career artists from Minnesota and

around the world and explore the results of their residencies and fellowships, the release said.

McKnight Artist Fellowships and Residencies for Ceramic Artists program and this exhibition are made possible by financial support from The McKnight Foundation.

This event is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

The Talley Gallery is open at no charge to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For more information contact Gallery Director Alice Blessing at (218) 755-2950 or alice.blessing@bemidjistate.edu.
