Art Project 605 presents THE NATURALIST, a group show that positions the contemporary artist as naturalist: an attentive observer, witness, and defender of nature, whose practice engages the entangled relationships among wildlife, landscape, and human culture. Through painting, photography, sculpture, and woodworking, Sara Jones, Eliza Klarer, Robert Larson, Pamela Sherlock, and Talon Stammen examine the natural world not only as subject matter, but as a site of inquiry, memory, reverence, and celebration.

NDMOA Concerts in the Garden with Cousin Curtiss
Tuesday, July 14, 6 – 8:30 pm in the Museum Sculpture Garden.
OPENING BAND: David Allen

Cousin Curtiss brings to the stage a fiery dynamic rarely seen by a solo act and now partnered up with the equally enigmatic and soulfully driven electric guitar prowess of Harrison B, these two road warriors are on a mission to electrify audiences everywhere with their two-man full-band sound. Think, “blues at bluegrass speeds.” Imagine, “rock americana with a soulful drip.” Experience rapid fire acoustic guitar, incendiary harmonica, fiercely energized solos, all driven by a thunderous kick drum.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket and take a place in the Museum’s Sculpture Garden. In addition to great music, you can purchase meals hot off the grill prepared by the Museum Cafe, and enjoy root beer floats, beer, & wine. Doors open at 5:30 pm, with opening bands taking the stage at 6 pm, and headliners at 7 pm.

Get Ready to Rock: Amped School of Music Forms '70s Bands for Fargo Street Fair's 50th Anniversary Finale
FARGO, ND - Calling all musicians: Amped School of Music is putting together two brand-new bands this summer, and they need YOU. The Downtown Fargo music studio's Rock Band Crash Course is a 4-week program that takes musicians from "never played in a band before" to "rocking out on stage" and this year's stage is none other than the 50th Annual Fargo Street Fair.
Two high-energy bands are forming now:
🪩 '70s Funk Band - jamming out to "September" (Earth, Wind & Fire) and "Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry)
🎸 '70s Rock Band - cranking up "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and "More Than a Feeling" (Boston)
Both bands will take the stage as part of Amped's headlining Saturday finale set, "Amped: Turn It Up to 70," at Broadway Square on Saturday, July 18, around 4 PM - closing out one of Fargo's biggest community celebrations in style.
"We are so excited to share the excitement of 50 years of the Fargo Street Fair this year with these fun, high-energy bands," said Emily Swedberg, founder of Amped School of Music. "It was a challenge narrowing down song choices from the '70s… there are so many great hits! I know those who sign up are going to have a blast learning these songs as a group and rocking out on stage at the Fargo Street Fair!"
Program Details:
Who: Teens and Adults (younger musicians accepted upon request)
Rehearsals: 4 Wednesdays, June 24 - July 15
'70s Funk: 6-7 PM
'70s Rock: 7-8 PM
