Bi-Weekly Art Challenge- upcoming events!

Mark your calendars for the next several Bi-Weekly Art Challenges! Led by artists and designers, Jen Mundy and Tyler Bartel, Bi-weekly Challenge is a creative critique and discussion group that gets together to talk about artwork, share ideas, and develop a community.

Bi-Weekly Challenge is held every other week at Light Grey Art Lab from 1-4pm. This event is free and open to all. You can check out more details, the upcoming events and dates on the Bi-Weekly Facebook page or website here.



Meet us Sunday, May 25th for the next Bi-Weekly Challenge. This week's theme is Emulating Style. If you have ever swooned over brush strokes, envied color choices, or wanted to try something new, this week's challenge is just for you. Led by Jen, Tyler, and guest speaker, Francesca Buchko.

"'Style' can be a touchy thing, but we’d like to approach the subject by asking you to choose an artist you really admire, and to try to incorporate a part of what you love about their style into a finished piece."

There are several more topics and challenges on the way! If you want to get a head start brainstorming you can check out calendar of events here:

May 25th: Emulating Style
June 8th: Limited Color Palette
(This week, we are meeting at Spyhouse on Nicollet)
June 22: Mythology

We hope to see you here!

Bi-Weekly Challenge- Recap!

We just wrapped up the first official Bi-Weekly Art Challenge here at Light Grey Art Lab! It was a really great creative meetup, full of participants from around the twin cities. Through critique sessions and conversation, we were able to share the works made for the first challenge, exchange resources, and talk about some of our favorite mediums- It was an awesome and productive afternoon!



The first challenge was 'Reversible Artwork.' Participants took this prompt in many different directions, from a repeatable pattern to an aerial view, a circular space to a flippable poster! All of the exercises had an interesting take on the topic, and allowed a new approach to making.


You can check out details of all of the works submitted here.

Bi-weekly challenge is led by local designers, Jen Mundy and Tyler Bartel. They have tons of great ideas for the weeks to come, conversation topics, and resources available. If you have been looking for a way to get involved, challenge yourself, or make new work, feel free to send them a note and start making!



Mark your calendars for the next Bi-Weekly Challenge Meetup, March 23rd from 1-4pm. You can check out the details on the Facebook Event Page and see the next week's topic on the Bi-Weekly Challenge website here. Next Topic: Location, location, location. A prompt all about environment, imagined and desired locations, and the spaces we create!
