The Dragonflies Have Arrived!

April 29, 2017 Jill Emmer

Spring is such a fun time of year! It seems that is when I am most active with the program I adore, Art of Edina. 

We have decorated Southdale Center’s main atrium lounge area with over 130 dragonflies!

The Art of Edina Dragonfly Exhibit was created in partnership with Abbey’s Hope Foundation.

Ten years ago, Concord Elementary student Abbey Taylor died from injuries she received from an improperly maintained wading pool drain. Abbey’s Hope Charitable Foundation works tirelessly in her memory to spread awareness of swimmer & pool safety.

Abbey's adoration of dragonflies is the inspiration for this exhibit.

The dragonflies were created by the second grade class at Concord Elementary. Art teacher Michelle Eronson oversaw the art project.

The dragonflies will remain on display for approximately three months.

A private launch party for the artists, their families and representatives from Abbey’s Hope, Southdale, Tradition and Shine On Photos will be held on April 29th.

Art of Edina is powered by Tradition Companies and is a part of their “Pass It On” initiative.

I am the Director of Art of Edina.

Galleria Art Walls with Art of Edina

April 25, 2017 Jill Emmer

Hello! I am so excited to have just wrapped up another successful project between Art of Edina and Galleria Edina! 

Here is a little bit of the backstory:

Galleria contacted me and asked if Art of Edina would like to collaborate and do something unique and fun with the temporary barricades that are up while they add the new wing.

I was elated of course and gave them several ideas. Galleria went with the interactive art wall exhibit idea. I was inspired by Wynwood Walls in Miami. The idea was create colorful graphic backdrops that inspire people to take fun photos.

My friend Paul Johnson, a graphic designer, and I spent many hours designing the over 3000 sq ft space. 

The art walls will only be up for a few more weeks. They're coming down sometime in May or June.

For the month of April, Galleria is donating $5 per person to Free Arts Minnesota for each photo posted to Instagram with the hashtag #GalleriaArtWalls (and tagged to @Galleria and @FineArtsMN) 

Art of Edina is funded by Tradition Companies and is a part of their Pass It On Initiative. I am their Director.
