Wildlife, Natural Beauty Inspire Artists on Exhibit at Crossings
Two artists exhibiting work at Crossings through the month of May, both native Minnesotans, are inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world. Foxfeather Ženková describes herself as “a bird nut,” while Jane Marie Lewis has always enjoyed the outdoors and beauty of the Mississippi River Valley. Their paintings (and Ženková’s mixed media pieces) are on display April 29-May 31. A reception is Sat., May 11, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Ženková’s business, Foxloft Studios, grew out of a love of animals, artwork, and conservation – a sincere passion for connecting people with nature. “My dream,” she says, “is to combine these things in a hybrid art studio, working farm, and eco-retreat; a place where people can come together to learn to produce food without the use of fossil fuels or chemicals, practice creative arts in a beautiful natural setting, and connect with animals and what it means to be a part of this greater system.”

Her artwork is a combination of wildlife and fantasy, and works on display include pieces from her Yin-Yang Dogs series and Animal Stacks series.

Lewis grew up in Lake City and now lives in Red Wing. “Although I’m influenced by nature, my aesthetic is to capture color, light and shadow, boldly or subtly. I’m fond of a variety of mediums for drawing and painting but watercolor is my most common choice,” she said.

Grateful for the natural beauty of her surroundings, Lewis also appreciates living in a region full of talented artists she can be influenced by and learn from. She continues to experiment, develop and study art.

False. Forgery. Fake. Fudged. Liar, liar pants on fire. Let’s face it, society as we know it would crumble without little white (and not-so-little) lies. And a little faking not only makes life a little easier (and maybe more fun), but the best lies reveal the deepest truths. Crossings invites you to start with an artwork by an Old Master, then put your own twist on it in order to reveal your true identity as an artist. 

We are not looking for actual forgeries(!) or student copies, but pieces that reinterpret or take liberties with the original.

Interested in exhibiting at Crossings?

Are you an artist seeking a venue for selling your works? We may be the right place for you. Whether you are an emerging artist or a long-established professional, we welcome your inquiry. You may email us with at least five images of your work, along with an artist bio or statement, and a website address if you have one. Or you may contact us to set up another means to submit pieces for our jury to consider.

Crossings always welcomes new art and artists to our space. We most frequently showcase the talents of regional artists, but we have exhibited works by artists from around the Country and even overseas.

We display and sell paintings, pastels, prints, glasswork, beadwork, felted and fabric pieces, fiber art, ceramics, metalwork, woodcraft, sculptures and more. Our gallery and gift shop are an eclectic mix of whimsical meets magical, poignant meets sassy.

There are several points of entry into our gallery space. Crossings sponsors several themed group exhibits during the year, with entry fees ranging from $5 to $15. Every Spring and Fall, art fairs take place with entry fees averaging $35. During the balance of the year, two artists share gallery space in a month-long exhibit.

The entry fee to show in an exhibit is $200, which helps cover the cost of promotional efforts. For the exhibit, 2,500 postcards are printed and distributed; artists receive a portion for personal promotion. The artist must agree to be present for a reception on an agreed-upon date. A typical show remains on display for thirty days.

Artists can expect to receive extensive exposure during their exhibit. Hundreds of people from all walks of life visit Crossings every week as they shop during the day or attend a class, concert, or other public event. Our mailing lists exceed 4,500 individuals, households, and regional businesses. Extensive efforts to publicize the artist result in media coverage of all types.

Artwork for sale should be appropriately prepared for display – for example, paintings should be framed and ready to hang, prints should be shrink-wrapped with foam core – and priced to include our standard commission.

We prefer work be delivered by the artist, rather than shipped, when possible. Return shipping costs must be assumed by the artist. All artists who have exhibited at Crossings are invited to maintain a rotating selection of their work at the conclusion of their exhibit. As seasons, exhibits and space demands change, we may need to rotate or return your unsold items. Your work is insured during the time it is on display at Crossings.

All works must be original. No imports, commercial or manufactured items, or items created from kits or copied from published patterns will be accepted.

For more information, please contact Marie Marvin at (507)732-7616 or send an e-mail to crossings@crossingsatcarnegie.com.
