SoMi Art Fair / August 2-3 / Turtle-making class
This weekend!
SoMi Art Fair
This weekend is the SoMi Art Fair (formerly the Uptown Art Fair). This beloved summer tradition has been reimagined and reinvented at a new location! It’s fresh new home is at Bachman’s on Lyndale in South Minneapolis.
It’s shaping up to be an incredible weekend of all my favorite things: art, music, food, community, and gardens — and the weather forecast looks perfect!
EASY PARKING
No need to search for a parking spot. Simply park at The Hub Parking Lot (W 66th St & Nicollet Ave S) or Woodlake Centre Parking Garage (W 66th St & Nicollet Ave S), and a complimentary shuttle will take you right to the event!
I hope to see you this weekend! I’ll be in Booth R1 with my soft pastels: original paintings, prints, notecards and new magnets.

My next class is coming up on Sun, Aug 10. Come hang out in my beautiful art studio and I’ll show you how to needle-felt a turtle!

Hot tea, still and sparkling water
10% off purchases from Mary Pow's Studio Shop made on the day of the class
A complimentary notecard of your choice
Thoughts and Musings
It’s been an incredibly busy spring/summer for me. I’ve traveled and tried all sorts of art fairs with both textile art and soft pastels. I’ve learned what I like, what I don’t like, and what I never want to do again. The art fair life is so many things, but easy is not one of them.
After this weekend, I’ll have a long break before my next art fair. Will I even remember how to get back into a regular schedule? We’ll see about that, but one thing is for sure: I can’t wait to get back to my easel! I have new ideas for a series of paintings and I’m itching to put pastel to paper.
As for textile art, I think I may need a longer rest away from my sewing machine. However, many of you have asked me if I’d ever teach my textile art techniques, well guess what — I am working on some sewing class ideas! Stay tuned!
