BEST OF SAVAGE...

ARTS COMMUNITY HAS GROWN

STEADILY IN PAST FIVE YEARS

By Nancy Huddlestad from November 2011 City of Savage News Letter

What’s a community without art?
 That’s a question a small group of residents asked about five years ago when they approached the Savage City Council about forming an arts council. Now that question is being answered with programs like the Scott County Art Crawl, a juried art competition, special exhibits, Music in the Park and a variety of other projects.

For Denise Baerg, chairwoman of the Savage Arts Council (SAC), the arts opportunities available to residents provide another reason why the city is a great place to live.  And it’s also one of the reasons the city was ranked #51 in Money magazine’s top 100 places to live in this year’s nationwide poll.  Read more here....
   

First Annual Minnesota River Arts Fair in 2012

Savage Arts Council and Three Rivers Park District are teaming up to present the Minnesota River Arts Fair on July 28th and 29th, 2012 at The Landing (formerly Murphy's Landing).  The Arts Fair will feature work and performances by Minnesota Artists. 

 

 

 

 

 

The goal of the event to highlight visual and performing arts and artists in our state.  The back drop for the event is The Landing Park which features a trip back in time to an 1880's Minnesota Village along the Minnesota River. 

The event will include:

  • Juried Fine Arts and Fine Art Craft

  • Up to 125 Artists Booths

  • Non-Profit Arts and Historical Organizations

  • Historic Actors giving village tours

  • Arts Activities for Kids

  • A Outdoor Painting Competition

  • Musical Entertainment

  • Free Entry to the Park

  • Free Horse Drawn Wagon Rides to and from the Village

  • Food Vendors

6th Annual Juried Art Show

2011 Best in Show by Richard Kochenash

 

Yes, we will be doing the 2012 Juried Art Competition again!  This years Event Chair will be Darrel Tangen of Savage. 

 

VOLUNTEERS

For this years competition SAC is calling for volunteers to help with the planning, artist in-take, reception, show hanging and artist pick up.  This is a fun event and normally takes a few hours each month to plan and execute.  To volunteer please contact Darrel Tangen by email at: darreltangen1@msn.com

 

GRANT

As in past years the SAC Board will be submitting a Community Grant Application to the Metropolitan Region Arts Council to fund the event.  The Grant must be submitted by January 9th, 2012 and we hope to have event funding soon after.  SAC has received funding through MRAC for the past 4 of 5 years and without it could not hold this popular state wide event.  Learn more now...
