"Art on the SE Como Block," by Jen Ortendahl, The Bridge, July 20, 2008 excerpt - Originally the home of General Mills, 2010 Hennepin Ave. has changed over the years; seeing businesses come and go and hosting lone artists’ galleries and studios. Now, the warehouse has come back to life to form 2010 ArtBlok — home to studios for more than a dozen artists, dedicated to creating and displaying a wide variety of art. During this year’s Art-A-Whirl in mid-May, 2010 ArtBlok hosted events within the warehouse to showcase works of the studio artists located there. Each gallery showcased their specialty in art, including the FOCI gallery, which demonstrated glass blowing. While FOCI demonstrated their abilities on the lower level of the building, other artists exhibited their work on the floor above. Tea Leaf Gallery featured paintings by Larry Rostad, Phillip Hoffman and Kelli Fifield. . . |
