Art, vikings, corndogs and the Beatles.
12 Weekend Events in the FM
1. The BIG Art Show, presented by the Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists Historical & Cultural Society of Clay County at the Hjemkomst Center
202 First Avenue North Moorhead, MN 56560
Monday - Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Tuesday, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Sunday, noon - 5 p.m.
Established and emerging artists display their work, with artist statements, in this free exhibit.
2. Trashed: The Art of Punchgut & Scotch, Opening Reception begins at 7:00 pm Thursday, July 15, 2010. Exhibit is up through July 31, 2010.
For the first time, two accomplished Fargo-based artists pair up to showcase their works, ala “Two Artists, One Cup.” For Scotch, a longtime regular contributor for Hustler magazine, Trashed marks the first time his work comes out from under the mattress. Also a prominent ocal radio personality, Scotch's fans are sure to see a different side of him through his debaucherous illustrations for Hustler, as well as previous work for Cracked, Jokester, and Thwak magazines.
Both artists happen to reside in the area, but their work spans the globe. The ominous collections of Punchgut are displayed and sold around the world after exposure in Art of Modern Rock, The Wall Street Journal, and Disney’s box-office hit Sky High, to name just a few. Punchgut’s style and medium vary like his list of clients, from screen-printed concert posters for bands like Kings of Leon, to commissioned spray-painted stencils and found-object collages for gallery invitationals. Like the work of Scotch, every Punchgut piece is unlike anything you’d expect to find in Fargo, North Dakota.
