64th Arrowhead Regional Biennial

Biennials present contemporary art from a designated region during a particular moment in time. Artists, judges, and curators create and select work that reflects current culture and events, identifies new art trends, and encourages experimentation. In this way, the Duluth Art Institute’s 64th Arrowhead Regional Biennial is aptly timed as the DAI prepares to launch its galleries in a new location and embrace the changes ahead.

The biennial is a showcase of unique techniques, bold abstracts, and introspective work that offers the viewer something to ponder. Judge Aya Kawaguchi selected 27 artists to curate a striking selection of paintings, prints, sculptures, and drawings. Congratulations:

David Austin, Karlyn Berg, Cyrus Carlson, Steven Carlyle Moore, Rachel Coyne, Wynn Davis, Luke Erickson, Peter Giebink, Lindsy Halleckson, Ralph Hanggi, Amanda Hanlon, Monica Ihrke, Richard C. Johnson, Stefanie Kiihn, Zachary Leonard, Eric Lewiston, Eric Lunde, Kim Matthews, Scott Murphy, Polly Norman, Isaiah Okongo, Karen Owsley Nease, Laura Ruprecht, Lissa Scotland, Juliane Shibata, Kathy Snow Stratton, and Anda Tanaka.
