. The Duluth Art Institute, in collaboration with the Minnesota Humanities Center, has announced an open studio and a closing reception for the artwork produced by participants of the "Take Me Where There Is Life" program.

This series of painting classes was tailored for individuals experiencing memory loss, including those with Alzheimer's and dementia, and their care partners. The classes served as a creative and therapeutic activity, improving participants' quality of life and providing significant support to their care partners. The resulting artwork is dynamic and expressive, showcased in a gallery-style exhibition at the DAI Lincoln Park Building.

"We are thrilled to offer these classes as a way for individuals with memory loss and their care partners to connect and experience the joy of creating art together," said Christina Woods, DAI Executive Director. "Our goal is to provide a space where participants can express themselves freely, reduce stress, and improve their overall quality of life."

. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced the reopening of all I-35/Lake Avenue bridge ramps in Duluth this coming Friday. In addition, the Michigan Street on-ramp to northbound I-35 will also be reopened. However, the 5th Avenue West to northbound I-35 on-ramp will be closed on the same day to allow for crossover construction, which is part of the preparations for the 2025 I-35 mainline bridge project. During this time, left lane closures will continue on both northbound and southbound I-35 between 5th Avenue West and Lake Avenue. The crossover construction is expected to be completed by the end of October, marking a phase in the two-year project aimed at concrete pavement repairs and bridge work on the Duluth section of I-35.

Howie: Minnesota at the edge of authority

Minnesota’s strength, historically, has been its preference for problem-solving over posturing. That tradition is being tested now. This is not the moment for reflexive outrage or performative reassurance. It is the moment for clarity.

Howie: Minnesota has outgrown its stories

Minnesota does not need more outrage. It needs clearer accounting. It needs fewer slogans and more follow-through. It needs to revisit old assumptions with open eyes and accept that a reputation earned decades ago does not guarantee results today.
