Studio 308 Dana M Johnson & Lawrenz Jewelry

The Saint Paul Art Crawl kicked off last night and continues today & Sunday!  A great way to spend a cool October weekend.  I’ll be brewing coffee & baking cookies in my studio all day, so stop by, warm up and check out my paintings & special guest Lawrenz Jewelry.  We are in Studio 308 of the Lowertown Lofts Artist Cooperative.  While you are here there area  many other wonderful artists showing in the building, Marla Gamble & Diane both jewelry designers, Tacoumba Aiken, Alexandra Rozenman, Gina Winther & Mathew Max on 4th floor, Barbara Gilhooly, Tressa Sularz, Ken Friberg’s photography, Patrick Maun (tiny landscapes in the stairwell), Evita Newman & more!  Don’t forget to check out the $5 art vending machine outside the Black Dog Cafe too!

Here are some photos from Friday night at the Lowertown Lofts Cooperative- All photos of guest musicians, “Boys in the Barrels”, a wonderful bluegrass band, were shot by photographer Michael of Construction by Design.

During the Art Crawl I will have 10 boxes in the Art vending Machine sponsored by Altered Esthics Gallery. Every piece of art in the machine is just $5!
This re-purposed antique cigarette vending machine will be located in the Northern Warehouse lobby, outside of the Black Dog Cafe.

Each Box contains a hand painted “pop up” window for your desk top.  Each window depicts a different scene.
