Friends,
Does anyone know of art classes for folks who are older or have severe cases of arthritis and have difficulty with say, holding brushes?
Trying to engage my elderly mom who used to love art.
Thank you!

We gave away my grade school attempt at crop art at the Minnesota State Fair Friday.
The winner was very kind with her praise. I don’t think I’ll make another attempt, but will say it was a zen-like experience.

I talk a lot about crop art mostly because I'm married to a wonderful ambassador for it. Jill Moe was on the radio this morning and then taped a crop art segment for television that will air later on.

Last year’s MN State Fair crop art had a lot of Tim Walz. This year, there are several pieces honoring the Hortmans, understandably, and also several Pedro Pascals, also kind of understandably.

Loving this year's record number of crop art pieces at the State Fair but unsure how to get started yourself? That's how MPR News host @cathywurzer.bsky.social felt, so she enlisted some help.
Here's how she took it from a seed of an idea to a full-grown hobby.

Who’s the best radio station pup ever?!
This is Pepperoni who hangs out in the lobby of WTIP radio in Grand Marais.
I was there to raise $ and awareness of the plight of small public stations after federal funding vanished.
Cool staff. Great fun. Good cause.

A landmark 1934 Minneapolis strike made the city a union town and influenced national labor law. It was an outcome that seemed all but impossible in the first part of the decade.

A smart, savvy man, David Gergen served four presidents and leaves behind a legacy in public service.
He has died at the age of 83.
I had the honor of talking to him last year when he was in town.
