SUMMARY:2026 Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff
DESCRIPTION:Krasl Art Center is thrilled to celebrate the 64th Art Fair on the Bluff\, presented by 1st Source Bank Wealth Advisory Services. Discover the talents of 172 artists from across the United States\, set against the backdrop of Lake Michigan and the charming hospitality of St. Joseph. Let our team of 300+ volunteers guide you through all the Art Fair has to offer\, and consider supporting the professional artists by making a purchase that will be cherished for years to come! \nThe annual event predates Krasl Art Center (KAC) and is where our benefactress\, Olga Krasl\, developed a love for the artist community in Southwest Michigan. What started as a clothesline art fair in a local park has grown to be one of the top fairs in the U.S.\, drawing talented artists from across the country to our beautiful community.

SUMMARY:Artists in Dialogue: Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join artists Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams to learn more about their exhibition: Sculpture in the Direct Method.\n\nSpanning generations of artistic practice\, Sculpture in the Direct Method explores how artists engage abstraction\, representation\, and material process as interconnected and evolving strategies. The featured artists employ a range of visual languages\, from gestural and improvisational approaches to more structured and symbolic forms\, reflecting the breadth of contemporary and modern Black artistic practice.\n\nAt the center of the exhibition is the direct method of metal sculpture\, in which materials are cut\, bent\, and welded together to build form. This process allows for immediacy and revision\, positioning material as an active and responsive element in the development of each work. Rather than adhering to predetermined outcomes\, artists working in this way often allow form to emerge through interaction with their materials.\n\nSculpture in the Direct Method is on view through August 9th.

SUMMARY:Preview Party: Sculpture in the Direct Method
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture in the Direct Method presents a dynamic conversation between generations of Black artists\, exploring abstraction\, representation\, and political engagement in modern and contemporary practice. Featuring Isaac Duncan III\, Ajene Cetawayo Williams\, Richard Hunt\, and Albert LaVergne\, the exhibition highlights how material\, form\, and concept intersect to reflect both personal and collective histories. \nThe works on view range from bold abstraction to nuanced representation\, moving between politically engaged statements and more meditative explorations of gesture and form. Across sculpture and painting\, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and complexity of Black artistic expression. \nBy bringing together artists from two generations\, the exhibition invites consideration of how ideas\, techniques\, and perspectives evolve while remaining grounded in cultural experience and artistic inquiry. Throughout\, material and process serve as key points of connection\, shaping how artists engage identity\, history\, and culture.

SUMMARY:THE GEORGE KRASL MEMORIAL CONCERT WITH JOE BAUGHMAN + THE RIGHTEOUS FEW - LIVE AT THE LIVERY
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 16\n8:30 pm\nLive at The Livery\nFREE and open to the public\nJoin us at The Livery for the “George Krasl Memorial Concert” with Joe Baughman + The Righteous Few\, presented by Krasl Art Center! \nThis will be in conjunction with the opening of Joe’s exhibit\, The Stop-Motion Worlds of Joe Baughman\, and is open to the community! \nPlaying an amorphous variety of folk-rock that incorporates elements of indie\, funk\, gospel\, etc.\, JB+RF is an ensemble of musician-friends led by singer-songwriter and filmmaker Joe Baughman. Equally influenced by the sacred and profane\, JB+RF’s music takes color from daily Middle American existence\, personal sadsackery\, religious imagery\, and Joe’s experience as a freelance artist. \nTheir new album – Antichrist Complex – was released in 2022\, and it received acclaim from Glide Magazine and The Bluegrass Situation. On top of that\, the music video for “Vacant Spaces” – the second single off the album – won “Best National Music Video” at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. \nJoe started off as a solo act in 2011\, and from banjo\, to bass\, to brass\, he almost exclusively handled all of the musical duties on his early recordings (except for his – brother Mike on drums/percussion). Under the enigmatic stage persona of Roscoe Baggins\, Joe started The Flying DeSelms in 2016 — a project that allowed him to explore a “rockier” sound with Mike and Bryan Lewis (Bailey Williams & The Cherranes\, Every Mother\, The Golden Mallard). In order to emulate that heavier sound of The Flying DeSelms live\, Joe recruited the aforementioned and others to accompany him as they played shows in the South Bend scene. Some stuck around to back Joe as he simultaneously performed under his own name\, culminating in the collaborative sessions of 2019 EP\, Vacant Spaces\, and The Righteous Few was “born.” \nJB+RF is based out of South Bend\, Indiana but have played all over the Midwest.  \n‍ \nThe Band \nJOE BAUGHMAN – vocals\, piano\, guitar\, harmonica \nMIKE BAUGHMAN – drums \nMARTIN UFKIN – bass guitar\, background vocals \nSAM LIMA – electric guitar\, mandolin\, background vocals \nMICHAEL CUNNINGHAM – saxophone \nBRYAN LEWIS – synth

SUMMARY:ARTISTS IN DIALOGUE: NATHANIEL STERN & SASHA STILES
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 18\, 10 AM - 12 PM\n\nPre-registered Event; free\nArtists Nathaniel Stern and Sasha Stiles both consider a posthuman world as part of their artistic process. From fossilized e-waste to AI collaborations\, cell phone planters to artworks based in binary code\, their explorations are critical yet optimistic\, imaginative and forward-thinking while still being connected to past and present technologies.  \nJoin them in an in-depth dialogue about why they work the way they do\, the intersections between their art\, and upcoming collaborations. Stern will be offering a free “air drop” of one of his NFTs related to his concurrent exhibition\, The World After Us\, for anyone who comes to this event and has (or signs up for) a Tezos crypto wallet (the artist recommends Kukai\, but any one will do). \nPhoto: Artists Sasha Stiles (left) and Nathaniel Stern (right) with fellow artist Sarah Ridgley (middle) at Art Basel Miami\, December 2022.

Artist Nathaniel Stern “roots trees in laptops\, grows molds and fungi in and around tablets\, injects watches\, phones\, and cameras with spores and microscopic life – then lets each flower\, flourish\, incubate\, and spread.” Inspired by Stern’s exhibition\, and led by the artist himself\, participants will dissect old electronics to repurpose them as containers for houseplants. Materials included. Participants are welcome to bring their own e-waste but are not guaranteed it will be used for the project. \nArtwork: Artist Nathaniel Stern is pictured with The Wall After Us (2020 and ongoing.)
