Hello everyone.  I am super excited to announce our spring/summer schedule, and detail what you can expect from CSG in the next 8 months. (This post will evolve over the next week as I get images and information from artists.)

First off, January will see the closing of Steve Olson’s solo show on Saturday, January 21st from 7-10.  The 24th will begin our figure drawing intensive workshop, Cult Status Academy, which will culminate in a student group show, March 3rd.

From there we have local wonder boy Alex Kuno Solo: The Miscreants of Tiny Town and the Unknown Unknowns, March 24th.

The end of April brings us ‘Flesh’ (a working title), a group show about the luminosity of the human form, with CSA instructors Luke Hillestad, Luke Tromziak and Jamie Cook, and artists Caitlin Karolczak, Kara Hendershot and last but not least, JM Culver.

May will be Cult Sisters III: Art is My Boyfriend, the weekend after Art-A-Whirl.  All of our original sisters and a few new friends will show in our yearly testament to the ladies.

June we have Ryan Henry Ward (known simply as ‘Henry’) as our 2012 resident artist from Seattle.  He is well known for his large colorful murals all around Seattle, depicting animals and awesomeness.  His residency will have him painting several murals around MPLS/STP, and then having a solo show at the end of June.

July will be Chris Williams solo upstairs, and Chris’s collaborative efforts with Biafra, Inc. downstairs.

August will begin with artists Mark Rivard and Russ Olson’s dual show, coinciding with Uptown Art Fair, and the end of the month we have a very special surprise for you, which I will write about in a separate blog soon.  Think edible Rudy Figilicious ….hmmmm.

Eventually, all of these events will have way more info and their own pages.  For now, contact me via cultstatusgallery@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like more information about anything.  I can’t wait for our exciting year!
