For the past several months the staff of Northern Spark have held our weekly meetings at the Works Progress office above Roberts Shoes on the corner of Lake and Chicago.  Last Thursday was our final meeting there, since we move into our week-of-festival tactical headquarters at the Soap Factory on Sunday. For weeks now I’ve been meaning to snap a picture of this lovely display in the shoe store window.  R is for Robin Schwartzman’s luminous artwork THINK AND WONDER, WONDER AND THINK which lights up the Stone Arch Bridge tonight at dusk!   

Come watch it, pick up a Northern Spark guidebook, retrieve your Kuramoto bike light you pledged for on Kickstarter and get excited for June 9!

Watch us “flip the switch” at dusk on Northern Spark 2012’s signature artwork. Look for a tent with a Northern Lights.mn banner.
