Wild Birds and Berries by Natalija Walbridge

Wild Birds and Berries

On View: May 1–31, 2025

Fiber artist Natalija Walbridge captures the quiet beauty of northern Minnesota from her studio on Park Point. Inspired by local wildlife and their habitats, she creates layered fabric collages that, from afar, resemble paintings—but up close, reveal intricate textures, delicate stitching, and thoughtfully chosen fabric colors.

Her series Wild Birds and Berries blends realism with abstraction, encouraging viewers to pause, look closer, and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

Bonus: Scan the QR code in the gallery for recipes inspired by the wild berries featured in the artwork!

Free Creative Writing Session with Brian Malloy

Creative Writing: Funny Stuff
July 9, 2025
6-8 p.m.
A frequent criticism of “serious” literature is that it is often humorless, with a narrow emotional range that begins with ennui and ends in despair. If you want to write with a broad emotional range, this session is for you. We'll read story excerpts that ably mix comedy with heartbreak, and absurdity with terror, as we work towards convincingly adding humor to our own writing.

Free Creative Writing Session with Brian Malloy

Creative Writing: Point of View
September 10, 2025
6-8 p.m.
Point of view (POV) is often a question of camera angle (Wide shots or close-ups?) and access (How many characters’ thoughts can we and should we present to the reader?). You'll also want to consider reliability, objectivity, distance, and audience. We'll review the different types of POVs and their variations, and exercises will let you experiment with different forms to learn which one is the best POV for your novel or short story.

Gender Joy Art Show

YWCA Duluth will host a salon style community art show providing an opportunity for women, non-binary, trans, and otherwise gender expansive people to artistically express their joy about their unique identity. This cultural exhibit is open to people of all backgrounds, skill levels, and ages - young people are encouraged to join! The show will be curated by Amy Varsek, a local artist. Varsek will also engage five or more high school students in a guided activity to design a brand for the show in future years. Additionally, student volunteers will facilitate an interactive activity during the reception.

The exhibit will be on view at Zeitgeist from May 1 - May 31.

This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through an Art Project grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to appropriations from the Minnesota State Legislature’s General Fund.

Wild Birds and Berries by Natalija Walbridge

Wild Birds and Berries

On View: May 1–31, 2025

Fiber artist Natalija Walbridge captures the quiet beauty of northern Minnesota from her studio on Park Point. Inspired by local wildlife and their habitats, she creates layered fabric collages that, from afar, resemble paintings—but up close, reveal intricate textures, delicate stitching, and thoughtfully chosen fabric colors.

Her series Wild Birds and Berries blends realism with abstraction, encouraging viewers to pause, look closer, and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

Bonus: Scan the QR code in the gallery for recipes inspired by the wild berries featured in the artwork!
