Nights & Weekends Opening Reception Recap

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Nights & Weekends opening reception! It was an awesome event filled with inspiring, personal, larger-than-life projects. There was a lot of work that went into the making of this show, so it was wonderful to finally open the doors and celebrate with all of you!
Nights & Weekends Opening Reception
Compared with many of our past exhibitions, Nights & Weekends was definitely an intimate affair. With so many in-depth projects, the crowd moved slowly through the gallery, flipping through artist books and zines, reading about the history and process behind each project, and pouring over the details of the 400+ pieces on display.
Nights & Weekends Opening Reception
We want to give a special shout-out to the Brooklyn-based Sketchbook Project! They stopped by Light Grey Art Lab as part of their 1703 Miles and Back Tour, and we were honored to host them! Their traveling sketchbook library was parked outside the gallery all day, where visitors could check out sketchbooks from thousands of different artists. Artists treat sketchbooks as amazingly personal and (oftentimes) secret places to work, think and create, so it's an incredible experience to have to many sketchbooks at your fingertips!

Nights and Weekends Opening Reception + Traveling Sketchbook Library

We are gearing up for an exciting week at Light Grey Art Lab! This entire next weekend is filled with incredible projects, opening receptions, workshops and more!

Starting this Friday at 2pm, we will have the Traveling Sketchbook Library of the Sketchbook Project! They have journeyed all the way from Brooklyn as part of their 1703 Miles and Back Tour, and Light Grey Art Lab is their Minneapolis stop along the way! This is the first time the Sketchbook Project has ever been to Minnesota, and we are so thrilled host this wonderful project. Participants from all over have registered and completed sketchbooks as part of the Light Grey Chapter on tour. Their works, along with thousands of other sketchbooks will be available for viewing, checking out, and browsing! The Traveling Library will be open from 2pm-8pm (right outside our doors) so be sure to stop by and take a peek!

Nights and Weekends

Then, starting at 7pm, we will have the official opening reception of the Nights and Weekends Exhibition! This show features individual projects from beginnings to completion, the process, the sketches, and of course, the polished books, zines, prints, and more. Each artist in the exhibition has completed incredible projects, self published books, and collaborated with others in order to make their dream projects become a reality.

Some of the works that we are looking forward to include Campbell Whyte nearly 400 piece watercolor series of the original Nintendo System Characters, Geniviéve FT's prints from her newly published book Dames, Neufundland, a collaborative design and comic compilation from Germany, and much much more!

Here is a little sneak peek!
This includes a comic from the Neufundland Book, one of Anne Ulku's Haikuglyphics, a portrait by Antonio Rodrigues Jr., and Ghost Neighborhood by Kim Ku.

You can see some of the work available on our online shop

Then, Saturday the 21st at 9pm, Campbell Whyte will be teaching an all-night creative workshop and comic jam! Mark your calendars for this new class, where you can meet other local comic lovers, participate Campbells demos and comic discussions, and create your own zine to copy and share! You can see more information and pre-register for this class on our online shop here! If you register with a friend, you will get a partner discount!

We are very excited to celebrate all of these artist's work! We hope to see you here!
