Grupo Soap reprises its "zine" publishing of 2015 with black and white works by an international group of mostly latino artists in this very political year.
“The radio show that’s not really on the radio returns to kick off our Season 9 with comic sketches, interesting interviews & more! Our special musical guest is Katy Vernon – the UK singer/songwriter transplant who now calls our skies home. The Pepin Portrait Project Grupo Soap del Corazon exhibit featuring the large-scale photographic portraits of people living and working in rural Pepin County will be here along with photographer Xavier Tavera and curator, Dougie Padilla. Way to start the season out, right?”

Grupo Soap del Corazon celebrates 16 years of art making and exhibiting with a show of 16 artists at the Franconia in the Cities gallery in NE Minneapolis. Why "Casa Magica"?
1) Because a gallery is a “house of magic”, of magical goings on;
2) Because artists make art as a way to explore magic with the world they live in- and within their own psyches;
3) and because artists make art as a way tocreate a magical experience for others.
Artists' talk is Friday, October 8th, from 7:30-8:30.
