Escape your regular life in the middle of the month in the middle of the day to explore fun themes at Clay Squared’s Snack and Squish! Owners Josh Blanc and Layl McDill love to find unique treasures to use in their art. Josh has an artful collection of stamps and Layl as junk jars galore! We will share some stories of discoveries we’ve made as we’ve traveled about or just poked around our own basement! Then do a little squishing of clay onto a small bake-able object in Layl’s studio and play around with texture in Josh’s space.
We will be revealing surprising connections while you learn more about Clay Squared and have interesting conversations. Our snacks this time will be hunted and gathered from one of our favorite local places: Holy Land!
Make your lunch break out-of-this-world fun!
Bring a coworker, friend, spouse, date, children or furry friend. We take them all!  This is a great community networking event- you never know who you will meet- local arts organizers, publishers, artists, business owners, and more!

Artistic Tapestry: Connecting Voices, Forms, and Human Narratives

Embark on an artistic odyssey with Analeise Marie Jarvi-Beamer, Alice Blessing, Wynn Davis, and Layl McDill as they breathe life into surfaces, each with a unique tale to tell.

Analeise Marie, an emerging artist from the Twin Cities, weaves explorations of femininity and the human figure into her work.

Alice Blessing, a community-oriented teaching artist, paints vibrant portraits using her fingers as well as brushes, calling attention to depression, identity and patriarchy in her practice.

Wynn Davis repurposes discarded trinkets, creating mixed media pieces that visually narrate the stories of the human condition.

Layl McDill's mission unfolds in her animal-centric work, compelling viewers to reexamine the world and find creative solutions within its complex tapestry.

Join us for a reception on Thursday, April 4 from 6-8 PM

Join us in weaving a vibrant collaborative artistic tapestry at the Larson Art Gallery. Showcase your artistic prowess by actively participating in our exhibition! Embrace the spirit of imagination and "What if" scenarios as you adorn an ornament to be displayed in the gallery alongside the works of the featured five artists in this unique show.
