…for a bit of my personal obsession: artistic business signs.

Yes, there’s a new one…and it went up just in time for ArtSwirl. Bart DeMalignon and Jim Bohnhoff put up this cool “Art” sign on the Grezzo Gallery Building. Local art sign critics Chip DeMann and Maggie Lee seem to approve.

Okeh, now back to your regularly scheduled (ArtSwirl) programming.

Today, Friday, among other things, there’s the Northfield Arts Guild Ballet Performance on the Cannon River Pedestrian Bridge, 6 pm, Storytelling: Real Lives Aloud at the Arts Guild Theater, 7:30 pm, and the Meredith Fierke CD Release Event at the Grand Event Center, 8 pm.

Tomorrow, Saturday, a portion of the possibilities includes the Artists’ Market in Bridge Square, 12 to 6 pm, Performing Arts on the Showmobile in Bridge Square, 1 pm to 9 pm, and the Downtown Gallery and Studio Crawl, 6 to 9 pm.

Then Sunday, there’s the Greater Northfield Studio Tour, 12 – 5 pm, including the Unveiling of “Between Earth and Sky”, and Politics and a Pint, at the Contented Cow, 6 pm.
