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.

Art Play Learn Online

Take an art-creation journey each week that helps you develop your art technique and your artistic expression. Each week there will be a theme which will result in following instructor-led guided art and then adding your own personal artist spice to it using a variety of art media.Some examples from the past have been a guided drawing of an endangered animal with students' individual ideas of the landscape that animal might live in. The landscape ideas are formed using the Socratic Method of asking them questions that do not necessarily have to be answered out loud- but can be. Just letting those questions bounce around your head will help ideas form and get curated. In addition to learning art techniques and expression, students gain knowledge about the theme through fun facts, and games.

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.
