The Kolman & Reeb Gallery proudly announces its Celebrate! 15th Anniversary Show, honoring fifteen years of contemporary art, visionary curation, and community. It will feature new works by gallery artists whose creativity and vision reflect the Gallery’s evolution and the enduring relationships at its core.
The opening reception is Friday, November 14, from 6:00pm-8:00pm during Art Attack weekend, and will feature DJ Holly Wayzata, anniversary cake, light refreshments, surprise giveaways, and 15% off all artwork throughout the weekend.
The Gallery has become a cornerstone of Minnesota’s visual arts scene - celebrating the abstract, the experimental, and the ever-changing nature of creative expression. Over the past fifteen years, Kolman & Reeb has connected local artists and collectors through exhibitions and its recognized Project Space Grant Program, while fostering dialogue that deepens the public’s appreciation of art.
Founded by Anita Sue Kolman, art patron and advocate, the Gallery was first known as the Anita Sue Kolman Gallery and later as the Kolman & Pryor Gallery. Its name changed again to the Kolman & Reeb Gallery when Jodi Reeb, artist and curator, joined Anita as a partner in 2022. The Kolman & Reeb Gallery has become an integral part of the Twin Cities’ visual arts landscape.
Over the past 15 years, Kolman & Reeb Gallery has evolved into a hub of artistic discovery. The Gallery hosts and participates in open forums to advance the public’s understanding of the value of art and art collecting, and to advance artists’ professional development. It’s a community resource that invites everyone to discover the most singular artistic voices working in Minnesota today. The Gallery’s resilience through economic shifts and the pandemic underscores its commitment to adaptation and innovation, expanding online sales, social media storytelling, and video features to bring Minnesota art to a national audience.
Anita Sue Kolman“Kolman & Reeb Gallery is a gift I gave to myself in my 60s. When I opened the gallery, I wanted to create a space where artists could thrive, and audiences could fall in love with art. Fifteen years later, I’m grateful to see that this vision has come to life.
This gallery has been one of the greatest adventures of my life — not because it was easy, but because it was meaningful. Every exhibition, every artist, every visitor has become part of this story.” Anita Sue Kolman
Jodi Reeb“As an artist who became the Gallery’s curator and partner, it’s been an incredible journey. This anniversary honors not just our longevity, but the community that has grown around us, from collectors, artists, and art lovers who all believe in the power of creativity.
To me, fifteen years is more than a number, in the life of an art gallery, it’s a milestone of endurance, evolution, and community trust.” Jodi Reeb
The 15th Anniversary Exhibition celebrates this legacy of collaboration and creativity, featuring works that reflect the Gallery’s evolution and the enduring relationships at its core. Over these past fifteen years, the Gallery has grown from a single vision into a dynamic hub for abstract and contemporary expression. It reflects trust and belonging — a space that has connected thousands of visitors, artists, and collectors through art.
