Today in the ArtZany Radio studio Paula Granquist welcomes author Dan Van Tassel to discuss his new memoir Beyond Barron and then we’ll preview the Northfield Community Action Center’s Runway Revival Fashion Show event with Natalie Draper and Anika Rychner.
Dan Van Tassel Beyond Barron: A Memoir. In a lively, fun to read style, Van Tassel’s memoir Beyond Barron combines humor and insight to record an indelibly stunning variety of lifetime experiences. Chronicling the adventures of a pair of academics whose numerous and diverse avocations, dwellings, vehicles, and pets enhanced their careers and family life, the book fascinates like a kaleidoscope.
Runway Revival Fashion Show, Celebrating partnerships and environmental sustainability through upcycled, wearable art. Thursday, August 22, 2024 from 6:00 pm—9:00 pm at Carleton College Weitz Center for Creativity. https://communityactioncenter.org/runway-revival-2024/
Join us for an evening of sustainability and style at the Runway Revival: Reduce. Reuse. Refashion event, hosted by dedicated community members and Community Action Center. This is not your typical fashion show! It celebrates the creative talents of local artists who have designed wearable pieces using 90% recycled, upcycled, and reused materials. In addition to a stunning fashion show, Runway Revival is also a fundraiser. Come learn about and celebrate the many environmentally sustainable efforts at CAC and throughout our community while contributing to CAC’s important work in housing, recovery, and food insecurity. Attendees will also enjoy live music, food, and drink while mingling with fellow members of the community at this zero waste event.
