Studio 110
DIGITAL ART MAKING IN THE RURAL NORTHWEST
In Progress has partnered with the community of Crookston Minnesota since its inception in 1996. Today we now operate a digital arts studio and exhibit space offering workshops, immersive arts training, and community activities. Most of our activities take place May - September, but there are still a few activities on our scheduling for the winter season as follows:
THE HARVEST PREMIERE - NOVEMBER 10th / Grand Theatre
The Harvest is a documentary about an annual beet harvest that has taken place annually since the early 1900s. The video presents a story of the sugar beet harvest, not from a land owner’s point of view, but from the view of people who have provided the labor force for more than five generations – primarily Latinx migrants and their descendants. The film presents the economic impact of the beet harvest, generational teachings, and insight into how the Latinx community finds commonality and a sense of place in the act of participating in the harvest.
