Will Work For Food is a loosely knit collective of Minneapolis based artists who understand the importance of art and creativity in regards to building a strong and vibrant community. By working with realtors and property owners, we temporarily transform vacant storefronts into exciting and inspiring art events. It is through our promotion of the show that we advertise the availability of the space we are using, with hopes of finding a permanent tenant for the space. Our goal is to create a self-sustaining creative community by providing exhibition space for artist and musicians, while simultaneously working to develop the larger community as a whole. By doing this, the collective steps out of the traditional art institution environment and reestablishes a new experience that is mutually beneficial for the viewer, artist, property owners and community alike.

For the next Will Work For Food event we have organized a group of 20 artists working in painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and video. These are some of the most talented and dedicated artists in the Twin Cities, all of which are extremely excited to have the opportunity to show work together. We have secured the old Theater Antiques space for March 16th, 17th and 18th of 2007.

Confirmed artists include:
Eric Inkala, John Grider, Drew Peterson, Isaac Arvold, Ben Olson, Jennifer Davis, Keegan Wenkman, Adam Garcia, Garth Thompson-Viera, Aaron Wojack, Eric Carlson, Keiko Yagishita, Jeff Warner, Andrew MacDonald, David Petersen, Gabriel Combs, Poohki, and Jon Harris, with more artists TBA.
