Olson: The Weight of Woman Please also join us March 21st from 5:00pm - 7:00pm for a joint Artists reception to hear comments from all exhibitors.  On view in the Community Room beginning March 19th through April 27th. Katy J. Olson's "The Weight of Woman" challenges perceptions of femininity, environmental stewardship, and the complexities of modern existence. Through mixed media pieces, Olson leverages the Lakes Area Plastic Lab as a resource to create embellishments to adorn her plaster torso portraits. Each torso tells a unique story, exploring the intersectionality of environmental crisis, gender inequality, and the objectification of women. Olson's work serves as a call to action, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own connections to these pressing issues.

Through mixed media pieces, Olson leverages the Lakes Area Plastic Lab as a resource to create embellishments to adorn her plaster torso portraits. Each torso tells a unique story, exploring the intersectionality of environmental crisis, gender inequality, and the objectification of women. Olson's work serves as a call to action, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own connections to these pressing issues.

Scouts have a long-standing policy that any child can be a member regardless of financial income. Scouting, as anything, requires expenses such as uniforms, registration fees, campout and summer camp fees. To help raise much-needed funds for the Northern Lights Council Boy Scouts of America, we are hosting our second annual Breakfast for Scouting. This fundraising event will showcase and support local Cub Scout and Scouts BSA programs, that include character development, leadership training, organizational skills building, personal responsibility and integrity. The funds raised from this event help offset the costs of providing character development programs, camps, trainings and much more to nearly 5,000 youth in Northern Lights Council. Your contributions help us achieve our mission and provide youth with fun and adventurous opportunities in our community. In addition to generating awareness, the Breakfast for Scouting helps to finance our programming to support children and young adults in our community.

Laura Youngbird: Inde'Wiisagendam (My Heart Hurts) The Kaddatz Galleries proudly presents Laura Youngbirds: Inde'Wiisagendam (My Heart Hurts) Please join us March 21st from 5:00pm - 7:00pm for a joint Artists reception to hear comments from all exhibitors. On view at Kaddatz Galleries. Laura Youngbird, a seasoned mixed media artist and former Director of Native Art Programs at the Plains Art Museum, invites viewers into the intricate layers of the world with "Inde'Wiisagendam (My Heart Hurts)." Through multilayered monotypes using the dress as a metaphor, Youngbird addresses social issues, injustices, and biases. Drawing inspiration from her personal journey and family history, Youngbird explores the powerful symbolism of the dress, weaving together threads of identity, assimilation, love, and illusion.
