2009 in Review: An L7 Odyssey...

Before we get too far into 2010, we want to reflect on where 2009 took/brought us, and how we have grown as artists and as a collective. This was our first year beyond the WARM Mentorship Program and we believe it rocked. So, here are some highlights from the top:

January saw us ending some things. We all took our work down from the “WARM Women Make History” exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum; and Savita and Kari wrapped up their Women's Building show.

Claudia took a weekend workshop in Encaustics from Jeff Hirst.

Jean had a solo show at Blue Moon while Kat displayed at Parkway Arts Gallery.

Julia got word that she won a Jerome Foundation grant for Intermedia Art’s “Naked Stages” program, but that because funding was in such dire straits the program would not begin until June.

February

Jean hung a solo show at Dunn Bros North Loop.

Kari took painting classes with Donna Bruni.

Kat exhibited in the bird x bird show at the Northrup King Building.

Claudia had a Solo Show at Institute for Health and Healing.
