Whispers to the Past 2022

Upcoming Gallery Show – Whispers to the Past

The theme of Whispers to the Past encompasses art related to time, memory, history, and personal experience. This theme of this exhibit is highly open to the interpretation of the artist and can reflect a memory, an event in history, Early-American Artwork (e.g. Quilts), nature scapes, or artwork from the beginning of your journey.

The show is being presented alongside Chaska Valley Family Theatre’s production of Bright Star which is running in the theatre March 10-27, 2022. This show was written and composed by comedy-legend Steve Martin, and Edie Brickell. Based on the true story of the Iron Mountain Baby, this show features a stunning bluegrass score with the central themes of family, redemption, tradition, and forgiveness. The setting of the show is in the Appalachian Mountains during the 1920s and the 1940s, and there are flashbacks in time, including the song “Way Back in the Day”. Bright Star is being directed by the ACCC’s Executive Director, Zachary Hedner.

Artist Spotlight – Jackson Atkins

Jackson Atkins is a songwriter from Chanhassen, Minnesota. He got his start in the Minneapolis music scene playing guitar for rock ‘n’ roll band The Goondas, spending the better part of a decade in rowdy clubs and a Ford Econoline. During that time, he continued to write and play the quieter, moodier songs that make up his current setlist. The style is both personal and minimalist, drawing inspiration from long-dead blues and folk legends, as well as contemporaries like Charlie Parr.
