About Orange Crane Artist Retreat, 2013
Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans seeking emerging artists for artist retreat
St. Paul, Minn. – The Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans (CAPM) in a partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center is actively seeking participants for the 2013 Orange Crane Asian-Pacific Islander American Artist Retreat, June 28th – June 30th.
In 2011 CAPM launched the inaugural Orange Crane Artist Retreat held at Pehrson Lodge Resort in Cook, Minnesota. The retreat was a convening of 27 participants with workshops and mentorship provided by established, award-winning, and internationally renowned artists Robert F. Karimi, May Lee-Yang, Tou Saiko Lee, and Mayda Miller. Mentors were selected for their professional and artistic merit. Being a new endeavor, Orange Crane aimed to showcase the diversity of Asian Pacific Minnesotan artists and to increase access to opportunities and output of APIA arts and culture.
The 2013 Orange Crane is open to Asian-Pacific Islander (API) Minnesota artists who seek to cultivate tools and ideas to enhance and transform their skills and creativity. The retreat is designed for visual artists, filmmakers, photographers, and writers who want to develop professional-level skills and perspectives on their craft. The retreat will offer specialized interactive workshops and presentations by CAPM’s Legacy Artist Fellows with mentorship and support with literary and theater artists May Lee-Yang and Saymoukda Vongsay. The 2013 retreat will be held on June 28 – June 30 at the Mount Olivet Conference Center in Farmington, Minnesota. Retreat tuition, lodging, meals, and materials will be provided by the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans through the Legacy Fund.
