Spring Howl for Northern Spark

We're excited to announce the artist line up for our new fundraiser for Northern Spark – Spring Howl! Join us on the Spring Equinox for an evening filled with indoor art installations, a silent auction of vintage Northern Spark relics, Fulton beer and food truck eats to support one of your favorite summertime events.

Artists who have worked with Northern Lights in the past - and in the future - will light up the room with these works:

Kashimana Ahua and Filsan Ibrahim, Applause Posse. One of Northern Spark 2018's most crowd-pleasing performances returns!  Let Kashimana and Filsan sing praises for you, a loved one or a total stranger. At least one Applause Posse recipient will be selected through our silent auction.

Dream the Combine, Barely Holding It All Together. Test your balance on a long beam of wood shoring. Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers of Dream the Combine recently presented Hide and Seekat the MOMA Young Architects Program and presented The World Is Rated X at Northern Spark 2013. Jennifer is on the Northern Lights.mn Board.

Michael Murnane, Under Ice. First seen at Northern Spark 2012, this large scale projection was conceived by the artist as an homage to hours spent ice fishing with his father every year. Michael also lit up the facade of the Landmark Center at Northern Spark 2011.

SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE, Spring Howl for Northern Spark. At 7:25 pm join rapper, spoken word artist, and social justice activist SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE in a collective howl for Northern Spark.  Bring on spring! SEE MORE is on the Northern Lights.mn Program Council.

Piotr Szyhalski, Living Banners. In the deep winter of 2017, Piotr wrapped 8 blocks of Nicollet Mall with his hand-printed banners. Featuring words such as "cold, breath, city, hope," the installaion left passersby to construct personal narratives as they walked down the street. Piotr has presented projects at Northern Spark in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017 and is a Co-Director of our Art(ists) on the Verge fellowship.
