Juxtaposition Arts
On Thursday, I finally took a night off from Olympics-watching to attend the Broadway Beat fundraiser at Juxtaposition Arts with Jonna. I was first impressed by Deanna and Roger Cummings of Juxta Arts at Solutions vol. 2. Formed in 1995 and located off West Broadway in North Minneapolis, the non-profit's mission is "to empower youth and community to use the arts to actualize their full potential". We were lucky enough to be there for a neighborhood mural tour of the students' work (see photos with artist Eli) to see how Juxta's projects are creating a positive street culture that truly enhances the community. The night also included a live art auction with spokenword artist Tish Jones as MC and a silent auction in which I bought a painting/collage by Ron Brown. The whole night I was so amazed by this program that offers free art classes and instruction to youth and produces such high quality work. I felt lucky to be a part of the night and to have this asset in our community. Next year you all must attend!
