Women's Veterans Day Program at Veterans Park in Blaine

June 12 is Women’s Veterans Day and often does not get the recognition it deserves. Women have served in the military since the Civil War when they would dress as men to serve in combat. Women have served in a variety of roles in every US war; 250,000 served during the Viet Nam War. Beginning in 2015, women have served in combat roles.
We must recognize and celebrate military service women for their accomplishments and contribution to our freedom! To this end, all female veterans are invited to join us to honor our women who have served. If you have not seen the Women's Memorial in the beautiful park you are missing out. To this end, all female veterans, their families and friends are invited to join on June 12th at the Veterans Memorial Park in Blaine, 10802 Town Square Drive Northeast, Blaine, MN.&nbsp;

Step into the world of Graciela DeAnda, an artist whose work illuminates the delicate interplay between nature, light, and transformation. In her latest exhibit, Blueprints of Transience, viewers are invited to experience a series of captivating cyanotype prints that celebrate both the beauty and impermanence of the natural world.
Drawing inspiration from the organic environment, Graciela DeAnda uses natural materials—leaves, flowers, and plants—to create intricate prints that capture the fine details of each element. By harnessing sunlight, she infuses her art with a sense of fleetingness, echoing the ever-changing rhythms of nature. The cyanotype process, known for its deep indigo hues, becomes a medium through which she explores the tension between permanence and ephemerality.

Visitors to the exhibit will witness works shaped by unpredictable forces: sunlight, shifting weather, and the passage of time. These elements introduce spontaneity and chance, ensuring that each piece is unique and reflective of the environment’s dynamic character. Graciela DeAnda pushes the boundaries of traditional cyanotype by incorporating water, heat, and other transformative elements, allowing her prints to evolve in unexpected ways.
Viewers are encouraged to reflect on our relationship with nature, the impact of environmental change, and the fragile balance that connects us to the world around us. Blueprints of Transience is both a celebration of nature’s intricate beauty and a meditation on its vulnerability.

<img src="file:///C:/Users/debra/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.jpg">
Calendula Gallery is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by artist Ethan Edvenson, whose mixed-media drawings pulse with life, movement, and intimate storytelling. This vibrant body of work invites viewers into an expressive visual world that feels at once deeply personal and irresistibly alive.
Ethan Edvenson creates mixed-media drawings built from layered paper using India ink, colored pencil, and chalk pastel. His work is raw and lively, with loose, gestural marks that collide with carefully defined forms and figures. Each piece breaks free from the traditional rectangular frame, featuring cut and shaped edges that interact visually with one another, forming larger, organic installations when displayed together.
Edvenson’s imagery often centers on characters navigating landscapes of marks, symbols, and abstract forms. Their inner worlds are revealed through posture, action, and interaction with the surrounding visual elements. Recurring motifs create a visual language that feels playful, surreal, and deeply human.
Each of Edvenson’s pieces is intimate and conversational, echoing the feeling of paging through a personal journal or sharing a moment with a close friend. Humor and narrative are woven throughout, reflecting intentional, precise human decision-making and a genuine purpose behind every mark.
In Dwelling Under Polaris, themes of individuality, transformation, and wholeness run throughout the exhibition, championing the idea that every aspect of a person’s life holds immense value and purpose. The work celebrates beauty, human potential, and transcending the temporary, while quietly pushing back against what is artificial, superficial, or self-serving. Rather than striving for perfection, Ethan Edvenson embraces honesty, absurdity, and emotional accuracy, resulting in work that feels both fearless and profoundly alive.

Edina Brand Launches Smarter Jumpsuit Design

KRE PRIME

Minneapolis — KRE Prime, an Edina-based adaptive brand, is putting a practical twist on one of fashion’s most versatile and often impractical, staples. KRE Prime is an adaptive brand focused on style, accessibility and innovative design. The jumpsuit includes one base pant and two interchangeable tops, allowing wearers to create multiple looks from a single set. Each piece can be worn separately or connected with a discreet zipper to form a full jumpsuit. Grady said the inspiration came from personal experience. Although she appreciated the clean, minimal look of jumpsuits, she found them difficult to wear in everyday situations. “I wanted something that felt effortless but also worked with the way people actually live,” she said. “It needed to be beautiful, but also practical.” That balance extends to accessibility. The design allows the bottom portion to be removed without taking off the top, offering a more flexible and comfortable option for people with a range of mobility needs. Made from structured stretch fabric using recycled materials, the jumpsuit is designed to hold its shape while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It is intended to transition easily from work to evening. Although KRE Prime operates as a digital-first brand, its roots are local. Grady, who launched the company in part to honor her late sister, said she wanted to create clothing that feels inclusive, thoughtful, and easy to wear. The Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit is now available in black and red, in sizes S through XL, priced at $150. Explore the Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit at kreprime.com.
