would be willing to let us have our exhibition there for free, would help with
advertising, and would be honored to have a student art exhibition present at
their location. Lawn Gnome Bookstore and Publishing, run by founder and owner
Aaron Johnson, is located on Fifth st off of Roosevelt. It is across from Jobot
and The Lost Leaf, next to a 24 hour cafe called Aside of Heart. Aaron is very
supportive of the arts and will even let us choose a day, maybe a whole weekend,
to have our exhibition at the end of the semester. He has one projector, as well
as a ton of speakers. We can project images and videos on to the bookshelves
themselves, or hang printed images. There are lots of fun nooks and spaces for
art to be presented. He has a large backyard that he recently landscaped (sort
of). There is a wooden fence surrounding the back yard where things can hang or
be projected upon. He has a few spotlights to light up the artwork as well.
If this is a place we would like to use for our exhibition, let me
know! I have already spoken with him and he would be very excited to host our
event. It can fit in to our exhibition theme in a few ways as well.
We can discuss this more. Let me know your
thoughts!
