Hi, I’m Christie Roberts, the ARTwalk Curator. I am excited
to see all of the art that is sent in this year, as I heard last year there
were over 600 submissions! I grew up in St. Michael, Minnesota, with my
parents, two siblings, and our dog Fraser. Growing up, I always loved to make
art and work on craft projects. I went to college at Bethel University and
received a double major in Studio Art and Anthropology. At Bethel, I got to
work with the University’s permanent art collection, deciding where to hang
different art pieces, cataloging work, and researching and writing about the
artists. I’ve also worked at a gallery in Northeast Minneapolis called Altered
Esthetics, where I got to meet artists, jury art shows, and hang up lots of
artwork. Working with art and artists is one of my favorite things to do.
On the side, I work part time at a place called the
Mathnasium, where I tutor kids who are having trouble with math. I also
volunteer some of my time helping adults learn basic computer skills (like
copying and pasting, setting up an email address, or learning Microsoft Word).
I love to read, go to art museums, bike, and make handmade books. I’m also
around the Ordway a lot, helping prepare for the ARTwalk this spring. Don’t
forget to turn in your submissions in February, and tell your friends to submit
work too!
