mnartists.org finishes its four-part series taking stock of both the turmoil and accomplishment in the local arts scene last year with a discipline specific pair of features hitting the high points of 2008 in MN books, performance and film.
In this Issue: The Year that Was — Performance, Books and Film For this issue, mnartists.org is finishing out its four-part 2008 YEAR IN REVIEW series with some discipline-specific observations about high and low points of last year. We asked working artists of all stripes - performers, filmmakers, authors, directors, choreographers, musicians, and arts journalists - to weigh in with their selections for the notable moments in their own fields for 2008. I think you'll find their comments illuminating and, occasionally, surprising. * 2008 YEAR IN REVIEW: Performance, Books and Film — memorable moments from the year in local art as selected by Minnesota artists working literature, film, dance, music, and theater
* HOMEPAGE: MnArts Magazine highlights include a new book of collages by artist David Coggins, Altered Esthetics' exhibition of visual art inspired by performance, and "questionable art" from Mad King Thomas
* NEWS YOU CAN USE: a selection of up-to-the-minute artist opportunities in every discipline, including the new call for the 2009/2010 McKnight artist fellowship program for photography
* YOU ARE HERE: a handpicked assortment of arts events drawn from mnartists.org's DIY calendar PLUS: A whole year's worth of dates and deadlines for mnartists.org's full complement of artist series, including new programs to showcase local film and visual art, and Some Assembly Required turns 10!
