Headwaters Music & Arts will host a community event for all ages at 1:30 pm Saturday, November 2nd at 519 Minnesota Ave NW in Bemidji. Following a short performance and conversation with Annie Humphrey, visual artist Shanai Matteson will lead participants in a block printing activity.
These activities are part of the fall tour of Fire in the Village, a new arts collective led by Humphrey (Leech Lake Reservation), David Huckfelt (Minneapolis) and Matteson (rural Aitkin County). The goals of the group are to create art and culture experiences in small communities and cities to remind people that we are made of earth, and we are power. Concerts and community art experiences center on themes of shared connection with land and water, the importance of free thinking and creative expression, and care for our communities in tumultuous times.
“Our Fire in the Village tour brings music, storytelling, visual art and an all-inclusive spirit to small communities in our region. The purpose of this tour is to gather and create together, so that we will recognize our connections and the very real power that is within each of us.” said Village artist Annie Humphrey.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact [email protected] or call 218-444-5606.
