We are excited to announce that the College of Liberal Arts at the University of MN selected NRRC to participate in the Hub Residency. We will host a series of workshops entitled “Where I’m From: Representing on the Northside” inviting Northsiders to document and process the current moment using seriously playful art and word-making. We anticipate hosting the first workshop September 12th at UROC (12:00PM-2:00PM). The project aims to provide opportunities for Northsiders of all ages to work in tandem with community and University artists and writers! Together, participants can create images and texts via cartooning and comics, collage, writing, doodling, and digital assemblage, all on the theme of representing one’s selves and one’s communities.

At our first Hub Residency Peyton Russell will lead us in an exercise is called: Sprallage, a method he developed to introduce spray paint and graffiti as a fine art. 

We will meet at UROC at 12:00-2:00.  All ages are welcome and youth ages 13-18 who register at contactus@nrrc.org can receive a $50 Visa gift card.
